Nintendo Singapore Pte. Ltd. today announced that Nintendo eShop and Nintendo Switch Online are now available in the Philippines starting today, November 10, 2026. Nintendo eShop allows players to purchase downloadable games and content, as well as try free demos of selected titles directly on their Nintendo Switch 2 or Nintendo Switch console.
With Nintendo Switch Online, players can connect with friends and family through online play in compatible games, enjoy Nintendo Classics and access a range of member services.
On Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch Online members can talk with friends and share their gameplay screen through GameChat, making it easier to enjoy time together while playing.
Membership plans
Nintendo Switch Online starts at P149 for 30 days, P399 for 90 days, or P899 for 90 days. A Family Membership that can be shared up to eight accounts only costs P1,699. There are also options for the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack at P1,799 for 12 months with Family Membership at P3,299.
With the Nintendo Switch recently having local warranty and support through their partner VST-ECS in the Philippines, having Nintendo Switch Online and Nintendo eShop completes the one big ask of many Switch users. Nintendo also recently launched the official retail Nintendo Store located at SM Makati.
No need for a Nintendo US account
In the past, users would have to create a US account to play online and purchase from the US store region. This is no longer the case. Buying a Nintendo Switch 2 is now even more attractive because of the eShop: with over 200 games originally released for the Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Game Boy, and more titles added regularly, the Nintendo Switch essentially becomes a complete library of Nintendo games from the 80’s forward.
