 Hey, everyone, I am Nintendo Prime. And there's one thing I've always sort of wanted to do. And that was make some tutorial videos here and there. And today, we're actually going to talk about how you can get free games on Nintendo Switch. Now, maybe you just happened to get a switch for your birthday, or maybe you've had one since the holiday season last year, or maybe you're just looking forward to getting a new one later this year, whatever the case might be, all of us like the idea of free games, right? Like, that's that's obviously a really, really good thing. I know there's going to be some weird micro transaction stuff, but hey, some free games, especially on Nintendo Switch, are utterly amazing. Whether it's demos, whether it's full on games, honestly, you can buy a switch and survive on nothing but free games and end up having a damn good time. And I want to show all of you guys how to get those free games because it's not always obvious and it will help people who maybe don't know how to navigate, maybe the, you know, not so user friendly Nintendo Switch eShop. Now, before we do that, hey, I would appreciate it if you would go ahead and hit that like button and subscribe to the channel. But without further ado, let's get right into this by going to my Nintendo Switch, which I'll be navigating with a pro controller. All right. So you see my switch here with all of my games. I got a bunch of I got a giant mix of physical and digital games. But what I want to focus on actually are two different ways that you can access all of this goodness. So the first one is through this news tab at the bottom, not the switch online. This is news tab. So through this news tab, there's going to be a lot of stuff in here. And you can actually hit the plus sign and go to find channels. And you can sort of try to look through channels through here. It's not exactly that intuitive, or you could just go back to the new channel and scroll down. And I'm going to show you two things you can do from this news channel. So if you go down eventually on the list, you'll find this thing called Games with Demos. It says sports games. It's much more than sports games. There are other games in here that have demos as well. But if we also scroll all the way down, you can go even further. Takes a while. And you can find games with demos for card based games. Not exactly the best way to find all the demos, but it does sort it by category. You can continue to go down as well and find free to play games. And this is one that I really want to focus on here as one method of getting to your free to play games. So we're going to go ahead and hit A on this. And you'll see there's a description of what you can find. They're already going to give you a few games. And we're eventually going to click on this thing at the bottom here that says learn more on the eShop, because there are more free games than what's listed right here. But there's a couple of things you can do if you want to quickly get back to this without going to the eShop directly. You can drop a heart on this and call it great. That feedback helps Nintendo know that this is a very important section of their news area and they shouldn't get rid of it. You can also go ahead and bookmark this and I'll show how that bookmark works in a moment. But first, let's click on learn more on Nintendo Switch eShop. Then you're going to select your account. I know what you're going to see here are all of the games that are available for free. Now, these are not your free demos. These are actual games you can play. So you play chapter one and two of Delta Rune, Super Animal Royale. You can see my kids like playing that one. That's why it's on there. Sky Children of Light, Pokemon Unite, Rocket League. Super Bomberman are online, just the online aspect. Capcom Stadium, Spell Break and a whole bunch of others. So you're going to go down this list and you can see a bunch of games. I told you that there was more than was on that original list. So let's pick a game I don't have installed. I'm just show you how easy this is and look at this list. You know what? Let's let's take a look at Spell Break. Why not? So we're going to open the game up by hitting A and you'll see the free demo here. You can also, if you haven't been to the eShop yet, you can kind of scroll through here, see what the game is like. You can watch a trailer right here. I get additional information down here as well. You can also follow the channel if you want for news. You can also heart the game or you get to sit here and hit free download and then you're going to do you're going to hit your control stick over one time and then hit free download again and we can actually close the eShop. And you will begin to see this game installing in a moment on your home screen. And there it is. Spell Break is now installing and it's absolutely free to play game. Pretty cool. Now, that's one way to access free to play games. I also want to show how you can access demos. So we go back into this new section. I mentioned that they were separating demos there, games of sports. They also have a section here for card based demos. I think if you go down, there's even more options here in the new section. It's been a little bit since I've gone here. There it is, the games of demos here. So you can, again, go to the games of demos. This will give you every game that has demos. And again, you can go down here and see a preview of some of them. You can obviously bookmark this, hit the heart, let Nintendo know that this is a really important tab and then go to learn more on the Nintendo Switch eShop. Select your account and we're going through that same process again to access our Nintendo Switch eShop. Now that we're in, you can see there's about 595 games that have demos in them. And you're going to see they're a little pricey, but some of them are cheaper. And it's all about what you want to play. It's just a way to try. So let's let's go to, say, Fire Emblem 3 hopes. So you can open up this. This is the new game and you can go over and instead of going proceed to purchase, you want to go one down to download demo. So you hit download demo and then say the demo is now down. You go back to your home screen and you can see what's going on there. Now, one thing I want to show you as well as how you can find this stuff through the eShop itself. So when you initially load up the eShop, you're going to end up being on the main page of the eShop. So this is what's going to load when you first load up the eShop. And you'll see some featured games and some featured news and tenor mini just happened. However, we want to find games, right? That's what we want to find. So we're going to go up to the search and browse. And then we're going to go over and first we're going to go with price range. Now, as the price goes up, you're going to see the most expensive games at the top and then it's going to go down and down. By the way, Shredder's Revenge. Great game. Even games as low as a penny you can find. And then you're going to see free and then you see your fall guys is here, which actually, that's one that I do want to install. And you can go view more here to see them all. But I'm actually going to go ahead and grab fall guys myself because I do want that game installed. And I'm going to go over here and hit the free download, just like we did last time and do it one more time. Now, what's cool is when you're downloading free games, you're not going to get an email because what happens is Nintendo will email the email on the account to let them know, hey, you know, here's basically a receipt of the purchase you made. So if you happen to be using a child account and you're like, oh, man, I don't want my parents freaking out. They're not actually going to know that you download a free game. They're only going to know if you spent any money. All right, so we're going to close that now. And I want to show you then how to get to how to get to the demos. It should be pretty obvious. There was a whole section for it on the eShop, but I want to go through it one more time just to make sure. So say you don't want to dig through the news area. You just want to go directly to the eShop and find game demos. Let's do that. So let's open our eShop yet again. All right. So the eShop is opening up. We're going to go back up the search and browse. And then you'll see an entire section called games with demos. You load that up and there we are back to our 595 game demos. So again, guys, this is obviously a super simple way to just play some free games on your switch without having to spend any money. I find this to be really, really intuitive. Now, I want to thank all of you guys for watching. And I hope this guide ended up being helpful in some way, whether you're a new switch user or a current one or an old switch user that maybe never realized there was so much free content available. You know, I can suggest fall, guys, as a as a recent free release, but there are so many good free games on Nintendo Switch. I really hope you guys take advantage of those and found this to be a really, really informative video. So thank you so much for tuning in. My name is Nathaniel Rumpeljantz. I run the YouTube channel Nintendo Prime. We go over a bunch of video game news. We have lots of fun on our live streams, although our live streams are more tailored for the 18 plus crowd. We have a good time on those. We have a podcast as well. And every now and then I do little guides like this or reviews of games. So thank you so much. And I hope to catch you in another video in the future. See you later.
