Birthdays are the perfect excuse to give a Switch fan exactly what they want — and the easiest way to guarantee that is to let them choose. Here's how to nail the birthday gift.
A Nintendo eShop card puts the birthday in their hands: they redeem the credit and grab the game they've had their eye on — maybe Mario Kart World or Pokémon Legends: Z-A — with no risk of a duplicate. The funds never expire, so it's theirs to spend whenever they like.
Want to choose the game yourself? Our roundups make it easy: see Nintendo gifts for kids and Nintendo gifts for teens for age-appropriate favorites.
Celebrating from a distance? An eShop card is delivered by email in minutes — no shipping, so it always arrives in time for the big day, even if you remembered at the last second.
A $50 card is a generous, enough-for-a-game birthday gift, but anything from $5 to $200 works. See the best amount to gift.
