mannnn nintendo is so dumb like for example in taiwan at my school basically 75-90% of the students own a switch since its popular in taiwan and when i was setting up a switch for my aunt, i was like "alr what are some good free games..... o yes jump rope challenge" but when i open the eshop, it goes like "nononono u cant go here bcuz ur in wrong location" so then i have to log in with my OWN account and download it (since my account was made in the us) and after downloading i try to open it using my aunt's account, but it literally goes like "nononnonnoooo u r stealing that guy's game so u cant open it" like bro is nintendo stupid or smth like that game is literally FREE on the eshop T.T man nintendo was wayyy better during the gamecube~wii u era

I dont think theres anything you can do. Maybe you can get a VPN or something like that? but if not, theres probably nothing you can do.

@Gabii would changing your location work? like in the settings or if you sent the money to a trusted friend who lives in an accepted region and they buy the game for you and then gift it (idk if thats a thing)

@Enchanted
it would kind of work.... i dont think gifting is a thing, but you can use the friend's account to play the game.... or just get a physical copy of the game
