At long last, the Nintendo eShop and Nintendo Switch Online services are finally available in the Philippines.
The official availability of Nintendo eShop in the Philippines will dramatically improve how Filipinos buy Nintendo games and products.
Probably the best benefit of having an official local store is pricing. Instead of direct conversions, games are priced more strategically and are tailored for the Philippine market. What’s interesting is that most games are actually cheaper than those from the United States.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild retails for Php2,990 (from USD59.99), Final Fantasy Resonance for Php2,795 (from USD59.99), and Mario Kart World for Php4,110 (from USD79.99).
Meanwhile, Nintendo Switch Online is a monthly subscription that gives access to over 200 classic games from the NES, Super NES, and Game Boy. It also unlocks GameChat, Nintendo Music, and Save Data Cloud. See the pricing below:
