It has many troubleshooting tips that can improve your understanding of how the redemption system works.

    This video was very helpful, just not how you would think. When I peeled off the sticker the first letter was un readable, I knew that the first 3 letters are the same on a lot of the cards. The card you used at the beginning had the same first 3 letters.

    I bought a game off of Amazon, and while I ordered the cartridge version of it, they sent me the code version. I tried to put the code in multiple times and it says that the game hasn’t been released yet, but the game itself is old and out on the store, and I have it on another console too.

    Can you please tell me what's happening with my nintendo eshop? Or if it's either a problem from me? I've purchased a game a few days ago but it's still not showing on the screen. I mean, I'm really worried if it'll never show up
    At least, can I get a refund?

      While in the eShop, click your avatar on the top right, then Redownload on the left. See if it shows there, and if so, click the cloud icon to download.

  • @Nazo-kage
    @Nazo-kage Před rokem +4

    My problem seems to be a little unique:
    I bought two Nintendo prepaid cards.
    The second one I was able to cash in no problem.
    But the first one keeps giving me the same error message when I put in the code.
    When I checked to see what the error code means it talks about problems with the servers, the thing is.
    Everything I checked, (including the site provided in this video)
    Says that they are having no maintenance issues.
    I even tried, putting in a random series of digits to see if it would even give me the normal response for an incorrect code.
    (it did by the way)
    Edit:
    I forgot to add that this is been going on for a couple of days now, and I have tried turning off and on the consul without the issue being fixed.
