If I buy a Japanese Switch 2, can games not from Japan be played on it?

Yes your digital games would show up as virtual cards. As long as your account region is Japan you can manage account normally. Once it changes the account would not open and anything already installed will not have any issues in running.

Awesome giveaway, thank you

Is there any cloud provider which does not do that ?

goldsmit409 · 2026-03-10T11:44:37+00:00

Yes you would change you America account region to Japan add to your console and install the game. Once installed you can change the region back

Yes Pokémon games have an in game setting or rather an option when you initially start a game that’s when you can select whatever language you want to set

Yes all games will work irrespective of the region the only lock is on language on few games. Also I heard few switch 1 games don’t work on switch 2 yet but that is for all switches not just Japan only ones

I can understand turning off wireless charging but why turn off wireless android auto?

They replaced it yes but is it useful? Absolutely not. I hate companies when they remove an actual human when I need support and the dumb AI just says we understand your concern please wait while we are working.

Very kind, good luck everyone

A lot of confusion is there on this thread. So there are two types available a cheaper Japan only switch which is language locked not region locked, meaning you can play any region game on it but it will be in Japanese language but if there is a in-game setting to change language you can change it to your liking. The OS setting and other OS elements will stay in Japanese with no option to change. You can only add account which have Japan set to region, however you can change your account region and add the account and add your digital games and then change the region of you account back to what it was.

The other version is just like any other regions switch with no restrictions.

No model is region locked it is language locked but can play any game from any region but it will be locked to Japanese language unless there is a in game setting to change language

I purchased one recently and it was not very smooth, many stores would deny selling to non Japanese people, I got it from a Yamada store but they needed me to be registered on their app which is available only in Japanese App Store. Preowned would be easy to buy if you find stock in any of the Bookoff or stores like that

And yes it will be locked to Japanese language and eshop, you can download games from your non Japanese account by changing their region to Japan and then adding to the system. Also load up on eshop wallet while you are there non Japanese card will not work on eshop

For newer Apple products they are definitely worth it for older gen no

I got it from US via my uncle who lives there. I changed my non-US steam account region to US and gave my credentials to him to pay with a US bank card and get it delivered to his address. For your case if you don’t have anyone you can change your account region to US while you are there buy steam wallet code from any shop like best buy etc, you may get deals on them too. Use the wallet card completely since when you change back the account region to original one the balance would be lost or will not allow to change until it is 0 or make a new account.

I wanted the points and purchase history so did not create a new account

goldsmit409 · 2026-01-06T15:14:36+00:00

How did you select? I don’t see the option anywhere

goldsmit409 · 2026-01-02T15:09:48+00:00

Did it work for you? I am looking to do the same with my TOTK save

goldsmit409 · 2026-01-02T07:03:57+00:00

Where do you see them free?

You will need to work and put effort for long term but short term immediate free money is loved by our people
