Posted by aerisdead on January 24, 2024 at 14:30:49 EST in reply to Switch Switch Region Question: I bought the JP version of Super Robot Wars 30 and if possible I’d like to get the DLC. Is there any way to do this? The in-game link to the store doesn’t work. Has anyone ever done anything like this? Is it possible? I have a US Switch with a US shop account and a JP copy of the game. I get a “software not available” error.
BTW, even though I specifically bought a Japanese version of the game it plays in English on a US system. This is great for most people but I read robot names faster in Japanese and I can’t stand the super long dialogue sequences in any language so I reboot and change the system language. Still, it’s pretty cool that the carts do this and it’s probably a big reason why this game sold so well. (n/t) from SignOfZeta.
Yeah, just make a Japanese account with a different e-mail address on the web and put it on your switch. Change to that account. I think you might need to add money using an eshop card, I'm not sure if Japanese eshop will use your american card or not though.
An alternative is to change your US account to a JP account but there's some risks there, you might lose access to JP stuff if you swich regions back and I know that if you have any money in your account you can't switch regions at all.
