To get Nintendo eShop prices by country, use Scavio's Nintendo eShop API. POST /api/v1/nintendo/prices takes up to 50 eShop item ids and one country and returns each game's price now, regular price, sale price, discount and the sale's start and end dates in that country's currency, for 1 credit. It serves 46 eShop countries. One call per country prices 50 games, so 50 games in all 43 eShops of the Americas, Europe and Japan cost 43 credits, $0.043 on the Growth plan of $1 per 1,000 credits.
Nintendo had sold 26.35 million Nintendo Switch 2 consoles by September 30, 2026, and digital sales reached 249.6 billion yen in the six months to September, 60.7% of its software sales (Nintendo IR, first-half results). Each of those games is sold in dozens of country eShops, each with its own price, currency and sale window. Nintendo publishes no public API for any of it: the Nintendo Developer Portal is for making and publishing games, not for store data. And the AI answers we checked on the subject named price-tracking sites and plans, but none showed what one game actually costs across eShops on a given day.
So we priced 50 games. On November 15, 2026, between 10:22 and 10:24 UTC, one prices call per country priced 34 Nintendo-published games (9 of them Switch 2 games or Switch 2 Editions) and 16 third-party games in 43 eShops: 43 calls, 43 credits. Converted to US dollars at the ECB reference rates of November 13, 2026, the median game cost 73% more in its dearest eShop than in its cheapest.
We build Scavio, so read this with that bias in mind. Every Scavio number below comes from live calls we made on November 15, 2026. Every competitor detail was read off the vendor's own page that day, and where a price was not published we say so. The screenshots are each vendor's own page, captured the same day.

The same 50 games in 39 eShops
We picked the games: Nintendo's own Switch and Switch 2 titles from Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza to Splatoon 2 and Super Mario Galaxy + Galaxy 2, plus big third-party games and well-known indies. eShop item ids are per region, so each game needed one id for the Americas, one for Europe (which also covers Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Israel) and one for Japan, looked up with the search and product endpoints. Then one prices call per country priced all 50: 8 in the Americas, 34 in the European region and Japan.
We compared regular prices, not sale prices, because a sale running in one country and not another would distort the gap. The dollar comparison covers 39 eShops: we priced Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Peru too, but the ECB publishes no rate for their currencies, so they are left out of it. Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan are served by the prices endpoint but use their own item ids, which our catalog searches do not return, so they are not in this set.
- The median game cost 73% more in its dearest eShop than in its cheapest. The gap was 72.5% for the 34 Nintendo-published games and 85.0% for the 16 third-party games, and ran from 31% (Pokémon Pokopia) to 305% (Stardew Valley).
- Japan was the cheapest eShop for 35 of the 50, including every one of the 31 Nintendo-published games it sells in our set. Super Mario Odyssey cost ¥6,578 in Japan, $41.11 at the ECB rate, against $59.99 in the US, C$84.99 ($59.61) in Canada, £49.99 ($66.12) in the UK, €59.99 ($66.30) in every euro eShop and CHF 59.90 ($71.45) in Switzerland.
- Brazil was the cheapest for 11, mostly indies. Stardew Valley cost R$24.99 in Brazil, $4.41, and CHF 15 in Switzerland, $17.89; Hollow Knight R$27.99 against CHF 15. New Zealand was cheapest for 4 of the 5 games we did not find in Japan's catalog, among them Pokémon Violet and Pokémon Pokopia.
- Switzerland was the dearest for 40 of the 50, Norway for 9 and the UK for 1 (Minecraft, £29.99).
- The euro zone is one price. 24 eShops charge in euros, including Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Israel, and every game cost the same in all of them but one: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds was €39.95 in Finland and €39.99 elsewhere.
- Almost nothing was on sale. Of the 50 games in 43 eShops, Celeste was the one discounted, in seven Americas eShops: $4.99 instead of $19.99 in the US, 75% off, from November 9 to November 30. None of the 34 Nintendo-published games was on sale anywhere on November 15, four days before Nintendo of America's sale on select digital games starts on November 19.
One morning is one reading, and exchange rates move, so treat gaps of a few percent as a tie. Prices are what each eShop lists: European, UK and Australian prices include VAT or GST, US and Canadian prices exclude sales tax. Are Switch games more expensive in Canada? takes the same capture to the r/nintendocanada thread that asked it, and how to get Nintendo eShop prices by country walks through every call.
1. Scavio: up to 50 games per country, with the sale window
Scavio's Nintendo eShop API is 6 POST endpoints at 1 credit a call. Measured on November 15:
- Prices: 1 to 50 item ids in one of 46 eShop countries, with
price,regular_price,sale_price,discount_percent,sale_start,sale_end,currency,is_freeandsales_status. Ids an eShop does not sell come back innot_found: Israel's eShop listed 37 of our 50, Australia and New Zealand all but Splatoon 2. The chart above is 43 of these calls, each answered in 1 to 14 seconds. - Search: the catalog of 42 markets in their own language. Europe and Japan return item ids, totals, sorts and filters (Switch 2 games, on sale, price range, genre, publisher, demo); the Americas return 40 tiles a page with a slug, which product turns into an id.
- Product: one game by id, link or Americas slug, with release date, publisher, genres, players, languages, file size, age rating, Nintendo Switch Online needs and its price fields. Mario Kart World on the US store: 23.8 GB, 18 languages, ESRB Everyone, $79.99.
- Deals, releases and DLC: every discounted game in a European or Japanese eShop (95 Switch 2 games in the UK, led by Final Fantasy VII Rebirth at £7.49 from £49.99 until November 16), Nintendo's featured sale pages in the Americas, new and upcoming releases, and a game's add-ons with prices.
What it does not do: there is no price history in a response, because Nintendo shows none; history is what you store, and Scavio does not cache responses for you. There are no user reviews (Nintendo's stores have none), no best-seller charts, no cross-region title mapping and no Philippines or Russia. The Americas deals endpoint is Nintendo's featured sale pages, not every discounted game; check any id with prices. Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan are prices-only, so you need their ids from elsewhere. Prices are never converted. API.SH gives 1,000 free credits a month and Bright Data 5,000 records; Scavio gives 50 credits once. The benefit is 50 games per call in every served eShop with Nintendo's own sale window, next to the TCGplayer, Google Play and App Store APIs and an MCP server for agents.
2. PSPrices B2B: cross-region prices with editions and DLC
PSPrices' Nintendo API offers "Current prices for Switch and Switch 2 games across 40+ regions", "1M+ Nintendo items" and "Daily price updates", with a cross-region endpoint, grouping of base games, editions, bundles and DLC, and DLC linked to base games. Its pricing lists Starter at $100 a month for 5,000 requests, 2 regions and "Current prices only", Business at $250 a month for 25,000 requests and 5 regions, and Enterprise at a custom price with "All 60+ regions" and "Custom history exports". Google AI Mode named it first in three of the six eShop questions we asked. Choose it if you want editions and DLC grouped for you and a few regions are enough.
3. API.SH: three endpoints with a monthly free allowance
API.SH's Nintendo eShop API has three endpoints, search, game and prices: "Prices work for any eShop country through the country parameter. Search covers Nintendo's European catalogue, with price filters in euros". "Every Nintendo eShop endpoint costs 1 credit per call: credits are $1 per 1,000 on a monthly plan, $2 pay-as-you-go." The pricing page lists monthly plans from $50 for 50,000 credits, a $15 minimum top-up and 1,000 free credits "each month, plan or not", and the page says failed calls are free. Choose it if you want a free monthly allowance and Europe's catalog is your starting point.
4. NTPrices API v2: price history, once plans open
NTPrices' API v2 returns "Switch & Switch 2 prices, price history and live sales/discounts across 48 regions". Its plan table lists Indie at $19 a month (20,000 requests, 5 regions, 3 months of history), Studio at $49 (100,000, 20 regions, 3 months) and Business at $149 (500,000, all regions, 12 months). Today, "The plans are coming soon and cannot be bought yet", "there is no free API plan", and "Keys issued on the former free plan no longer work". ChatGPT named it first for the best eShop price API, quoting the retired free tier. Choose it if stored price history matters and you can wait for a plan.
5. Bright Data: Nintendo store records and a dataset
Bright Data's Nintendo Scraper API collects "Nintendo consoles, games and gaming accessories" with "product title, description, brand, product category, category tree, item ID, variant ID, and product URL". It gives 5,000 free records a month, then $1.5 per 1,000 records pay as you go, or $499 a month for 384,000 records on Scale. Its Nintendo dataset, described as Nintendo's official digital store, lists "39.1K+" records from a $250 minimum order. Choose it for a bulk catalog snapshot rather than per-country price checks.
6. Apify (unfenced-group): 33 countries in one run
unfenced-group/nintendo-eshop-scraper scrapes "Nintendo eShop games with localized prices and discounts across 33 countries in one run". It charges per game, from $0.00149 on Apify's free plan down to $0.00099 on its top tier. Apify showed 5 users in total and 31 of 31 runs successful in the last 30 days. Choose it if you work inside Apify and want one dataset per run.
7. Apify (superslowsloth): the US, Canada and Japan sale lists
superslowsloth/nintendo-eshop-prices returns "Switch and Switch 2 games, DLC and bundles from the US, Canada and Japan stores, one row per item with price now, regular price, sale price, percent off, sale end date". It costs $0.00104 per game plus $0.002 per run; Apify showed 2 users and 24 of 24 runs successful in 30 days. Choose it if those three stores' sale lists are all you need.
Free price trackers, which are not APIs
Deku Deals, eShop-Prices, PriceImp and the NT Deals app track eShop prices for shoppers, with wishlists and alerts; they were named in most of the AI answers we checked, and none offers a data API. The open-source nintendo-switch-eshop package had 2,042 npm downloads in the month to November 14, 2026, and the nintendeals Python package was last released in September 2024.
Not an eShop data API
The Nintendo Developer Portal is for registered developers making and self-publishing games; it does not provide store prices. PriceCharting's API covers physical and used game values, not eShop prices.
Pick by the number you need
The bill is games times countries times how often you check, divided by 50: one prices call covers up to 50 games in one country for 1 credit. The 50 games in this post across all 43 eShops are 43 credits a reading. Read daily from Nintendo of America's sale start on November 19 to its end on December 2, that is 14 days and 602 credits, $0.60 at the Growth rate of $1 per 1,000 credits. A 1,000-game watchlist in the same 43 eShops is 860 credits a day, 25,800 a month, $25.80. The Hobby plan, $15 a month for 3,000 credits, covers the 50 games in all 43 eShops every day of the month (1,290 credits). Finding the ids is a one-time cost: one search returns up to 50 European or Japanese ids, and each Americas game takes one product call. Try the Nintendo eShop API free, 50 credits, no card, or run a prices call in the playground.

Frequently asked questions
Does Nintendo have a public eShop API?
No. Nintendo publishes no public API for eShop prices or its game catalog. The Nintendo Developer Portal is for building and publishing games on Nintendo platforms; it does not offer store prices or catalog data to third parties. Scavio's Nintendo eShop API returns per-country prices with sale dates, catalog search, game pages, deals, releases and DLC as JSON, 1 credit a call.
Which Nintendo eShop region is cheapest?
On November 15, 2026, converted at the ECB rates of November 13, Japan was the cheapest of 39 eShops for 35 of the 50 games we priced, including all 31 Nintendo-published games it sells in our set; Brazil was cheapest for 11, mostly indie games, and New Zealand for 4. Switzerland was the dearest for 40. Exchange rates move, and Nintendo's account terms tie purchases to the account's country, so treat this as price research.
Are Nintendo eShop prices the same in every euro country?
Almost. 24 eShops charge in euros, including Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Israel. On November 15, 2026 every one of our 50 games cost the same in all of them, with one exception: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds was €39.95 in Finland and €39.99 elsewhere.
When is the Nintendo eShop Black Friday sale in 2026?
Nintendo of America announced a sale on select digital games on the Nintendo eShop and the Nintendo Store website from November 19 through December 2, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. PT. Black Friday is November 27. Other regions announce their own sales; the eShop's sale_start and sale_end fields show each country's window per game.
Is it allowed to collect Nintendo eShop prices automatically?
Nintendo of America's website terms ask users not to use robots, crawlers, scrapers or other automated means to access its websites to copy or extract data, and to get written consent before building third-party apps that interact with its services. This is not legal advice; read the current terms for your use case.
