blcdude1 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I actually made note of that on my form, in the suggestions to Santa Chrom section. I was surprised to see it wasn’t a question. Quote Link to comment
Chrom Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 Good stuff so far fellas. I'm happy to cooperate with everyone to make sure we get this done as it should! I'm posting right now to say that I've offered one exchange to be delivered a little earlier than planned, out of respect for a concern as to whether or not the gifts will be valid based on where the two participants live (US vs Canada), and anticipating accommodation if they may not. So in the event that someone here shows up with gifts a little sooner than the 21st, this is why! Quote Link to comment
Doc Brown Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) Things worked out ok, ended up being able to set up a Canadian eshop account. Big thanks to @DranSeasona, for the wonderful Christmas/Secret Santa gift, two $45 eshop cards. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season and stay safe. Here's what I bought: Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity Anodyne Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King (Working on getting an image, but I have to size it down.)

DranSeasona Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) Thanks, @Doc Brown, so glad you found a way to make it work! And thanks @Chromfor the understanding and helping it go through early, just in case. Can confirm Age of Calamity and Blossom Tales are both good choices. Haven’t tried the other one, myself. Lol anyway, happy holidays! Edited December 17, 2020 by DranSeasona Doc Brown and Spring 2 Quote Link to comment

Lol anyway, happy holidays! You're welcome! I'm glad too. Just took a bit of work. Gmail works well with it, if anyone else needs to make another region account. Yep. Played both demos and they're fun. The latter I've heard about before and it seemed interesting. Quote Link to comment
Chrom Posted December 18, 2020 Author Share Posted December 18, 2020 Hi everyone. Here are some tips I've gathered for anyone who may be interested in gifting digital content or funds on the Nintendo Switch for another person who lives in a different country, since that's looking like it may be a common topic of interest. When it comes to either download codes (games/DLC) or prepaid codes (funds), they can only be redeemed in the eShop store they're meant for. However, download codes that would work for the US will also work for Canada and Mexico, as they all fall under "the Americas" as far as the eShop is concerned. Despite this, changing the country on your Nintendo Account (or creating/linking a separate Nintendo Account with a different country set to use on your Switch) to match the foreign code will let you redeem any of them, whether download or prepaid. Even if you redeem a download code at a different eShop store from your main one, it will remain tied to your Nintendo Account and can be redownloaded from any other store, so you can safely return to your default settings without losing access to anything. eShop funds are locked to each regional store, so if you have to change your Nintendo Account country to redeem foreign funds on the eShop, you have to follow up with any purchases there on that same store, as funds will not carry over to other stores. This also applies My Nintendo points if anyone cares about those. Hopefully by trying to break it down like this, we can be closer on the same page and worry a little less about any uncertainties. I'm not too versed about Steam or other services and how they differ, but maybe someone else can chime in about it. With this event having an emphasis on digital exchange, I believe it's worthwhile to have this addressed so the event can be its best. Thanks a bunch to everyone who's been interested! As always, feel free to continue sharing any other questions or concerns you may have. Doc Brown, Kodiack, Tyranogre and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment
Chrom Posted December 21, 2020 Author Share Posted December 21, 2020 Made my list and checked it twice! Starting today, a few of you may have something waiting in your inbox. And for anyone else, if you can't make your schedule, don't worry! As long as I can get something in, I'll deliver it whenever works best for you. Doc Brown and DranSeasona 2 Quote Link to comment
DranSeasona Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Looks like I’m next! The redemption of the Switch game codes went off without a hitch! Thanks, @Tyranogre! I have heard good things from these games so was looking forward to trying them out. I am glad I didn’t need to change regions or something... Anyway, thanks so much for your generosity and Happy Holidays! Chrom, Eliwood8, Tyranogre and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment

Spring Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 @Doc Brown thank you so much for the eshop codes, that was very generous of you! Merry Christmas and happy holidays!!! I actually plan on putting the eshop codes (both of them!!) towards Super Mario Party (been wanting it for years!!) but I'm waiting for my replacement debit card to get here from America...it might be a while, due to covid and the holidays. ;_; I hope that's okay that I don't have any pictures yet? I guess I could take pics of the funds in my account now tho that seems a bit boring lol DranSeasona, Doc Brown, Eliwood8 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment

Samus2008 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Huge thanks to @Eliwood8 for the Xbox and eShop cards! Sorry for no picture, but I'm waiting to see what Holiday sales we get on the Xbox/eShop before grabbing some stuff, but I will be sure to post what I get here if that's okay Spring, Kodiack, Doc Brown and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment

Kodiack Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Thank you very much, @blcdude1! The Steam funds are just in time for the big holiday sale, and the eShop code will go to excellent use. Think I might snag Stardew Valley for my partner after we spent so much time playing Animal Crossing over lockdown. The 1.5 patch looks fantastic.

blcdude1 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) $28.37 looks delightfully random, and I hope it gets put to good use! I want to offer thanks to @winterberry for a Nintendo eShop code. I took advantage of that Indie World Holiday Sale and grabbed Cuphead, one I've long put off. I used the remainder of the gift card towards a little title called Sky Racket. Edited December 23, 2020 by blcdude1 Doc Brown, Spring, Eliwood8 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment

It covered Final Fantasy XV for me on Steam. I've managed to pick up most of my wishlist over the sale. Gonna make some use of my new LG CX! Doc Brown 1 Quote Link to comment
