Nintendo has officially launched the Nintendo eShop and Nintendo Switch Online service in Singapore, alongside Malaysia and Thailand, marking a long-awaited expansion of its digital ecosystem in Southeast Asia. The move brings full local support, including Singapore-priced games, local currency payments and access to Nintendo’s online subscription tiers.

Switch Online in Singapore now offers multiple membership options. Prices start from S$4.90 per month for the basic Nintendo Switch Online plan, while the full Switch Online + Expansion Pack tier costs S$69.90 per year for individuals. A 12-month Family Membership, supporting up to eight accounts, is priced at S$119.90. The Expansion Pack provides access to classic Nintendo game libraries and online multiplayer features, including titles like Mario Kart World. For many players, the annual Expansion Pack membership offers the best value.

Existing Nintendo Switch users who previously switched their eShop regions can easily migrate to the Singapore storefront. By logging into their Nintendo Account and selecting “Singapore” under country/region settings, users gain access to the local eShop while still being able to update previously downloaded games from other regions.

To celebrate the regional launch, major publishers such as Square Enix are offering limited-time discounts across select titles. Games like Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake and Octopath Traveller II are currently discounted between 35% and 60%, making this an ideal moment for players who were waiting for deals.

Overall, Nintendo’s entry into Singapore’s digital gaming market brings greater convenience, better pricing transparency and full access to online services that were previously limited or unavailable. The launch also signals Nintendo’s growing commitment to Southeast Asian gamers, who can now tap into the complete Switch ecosystem more seamlessly than ever.
