FAQ
1. Will online play work on my main (US/EU) account?
Yes! If the Japanese account on your console has an active subscription and the console is set as "primary" for it, other profiles on the same device can usually access online multiplayer.
2. Can I change my account region to Japan to activate?
Yes, you can change the region at accounts.nintendo.com. However, this is only possible if you have a zero eShop balance and auto-renewal is turned off.
3. What is the difference between US and JP subscriptions?
Functionally they are identical (online, cloud). The difference is the price (Japan is often cheaper) and the retro library (you get Famicom/Super Famicom apps with a different game lineup).
4. Is the Expansion Pack included?
No. This is the base subscription. The Expansion Pack (N64, SEGA, Mario Kart DLC) is purchased separately or via a different code.
5. Does the subscription stack?
Yes. If you already have an active Japanese subscription, the 3 months will be added to your current duration (up to a maximum of 3 years).
6. Is a refund possible?
No. Digital codes for Nintendo are non-refundable, as they are considered used once sent to the buyer.
