Finally.
The Switch eShop is adding a brand new payment option. Going forward, system owners will be able to use PayPal to add funds to their balance.
PayPal cant be used directly with Wii U or 3DS. However, any game purchased on Nintendos website can be used with PayPal. That means if youre purchasing a Switch, Wii U, or 3DS game on the site, PayPal is an option if youre short on funds.
We are seeing the PayPal option on Switch in Japan at present. However, nothing appears to be live in North America or Europe. Todays announcement did indicate that the PayPal option will be extended worldwide, so well let you know if we see anything.
