Brazil Nintendo eShop Card (BRL Code)

Brazil Nintendo eShop card in BRL: 7 values, 50 BRL to 500 BRL, added to a matching Nintendo Account's eShop balance and spent on games, DLC and add-ons.

A Nintendo eShop card for Brazil is prepay credit for the Nintendo eShop: the code carries a face value, and redeeming it adds that value to a Nintendo Account's eShop balance, which then pays for games, DLC and add-ons on Nintendo Switch. The Brazil listing holds 7 values in BRL, from 50 BRL to 500 BRL, and the balance belongs to the account it is redeemed on.

What the eShop Balance Buys

Nintendo frames the card as credit toward a wide catalogue - new releases, classic games and indie titles - delivered to the console once bought, plus downloadable content for games already on the system. In practice a Brazil buyer is choosing how much of that catalogue to prepay, which is a different decision from picking one game.

Values on This Page

Brazil carries 7 values in BRL, from 50 BRL to 500 BRL: 50 BRL, 100 BRL, 150 BRL, 250 BRL, 300 BRL, 400 BRL and 500 BRL. All 7 are in stock today, so the table on the listing can be ordered as shown. This is the longest ladder in the family, so the market is served in full.

Those are the denominations Nintendo issues for BRL, not a price rule invented here, and the actual charge is on the listing's table. The choice is simply how much credit to add: one step for a single item, a higher step when the intended purchase is bigger.

Which Account This Card Matches

Region comes first. Nintendo's support pages state that an eShop card works only for the eShop country or region it was intended for, and that the console's eShop follows the Nintendo Account's country setting rather than wherever the console happens to be. This is the Brazil card in BRL.

Nintendo also states that an eShop balance does not carry over when a Nintendo Account's country or region setting is changed, and that a card bought for a different region cannot be replaced, exchanged or refunded. An account registered elsewhere needs the matching market instead, which is why the Canada listing and the Germany listing are separate pages. Checking the account's region before buying is the whole of it.

How to Redeem a Nintendo eShop Card

The code is entered in Nintendo eShop on the console, and the steps are the same in every market:

  1. Open Nintendo eShop from the HOME Menu.
  2. Select the account that should receive the funds.
  3. Choose Enter Code on the left side of the screen.
  4. Enter the 16-character code from the order page and select OK.

Nintendo notes that a Nintendo Account must have opened Nintendo eShop on the system at least once before a code can be entered, and that codes are printed on the receipt or card - some retailer cards carry a Control Number as well, which is not the code to type. If the wrong code was bought, Nintendo states it cannot replace, exchange or refund it, so the region check above is the one worth making first.

Delivery

Delivery is digital and automatic: the code is issued as soon as payment is confirmed, normally within minutes, and it appears on the order page and in the inbox. Nothing ships, so there is no address to give and no person releases the code by hand - which is why it can be stored and redeemed later rather than used on the spot.

Before You Buy

Before ordering, check the account's region is Brazil - Nintendo's regional compatibility FAQ restricts each card to the eShop country or region it was intended for, with no exchange or refund for a mismatch. Enter the code straight from the order page rather than retyping it, and treat the value as credit held on the account rather than a refundable balance.

Buy a Nintendo eShop Card for Brazil

If the account's region is Brazil, order from this page: 7 values in BRL, issued automatically after payment and redeemed in Nintendo eShop. Start with the Brazil Nintendo eShop card, and use the Germany listing when the account sits elsewhere.
