If your cartridge game is from Australia, and it has DLC but you are in USA does it mean we need to change region first before buying the DLC from AUS eshop?

What’s the point of this? Just wondering because eshop doesn’t change unless you change your Nintendo account region

When u change regions what will happen to the data.. will it make u start all over??

[robbycooper]

What region is Europe, because it didn’t say Europe in any of the options

[k.g_gamerxd]

Does the data from your switch get erased when you change regions?

If a buy a European code for eshop, do I just change region to redeem code and play the game with my normal account?

Will this allow me to play American games?
For example.. I get a Japanese version then change it to American that way I could play American games..

[decsoi]

Will this make that you can use keys from another region to your own? As an example if I buy a north america key and live in europe can i still use it?

[TerryVidez]

Do I need to back up any data before doing it?

[jyesucevitz]
