Nintendo Announces Official eShop Launch in Taiwan for September 2025

Nintendo has officially confirmed that the Nintendo eShop will launch in Taiwan on September 9, 2025, enabling Taiwanese players to access a dedicated digital storefront for the first time.

The move further solidifies Nintendo’s commitment to the region, reflecting its recent business growth and increased presence within the Taiwanese gaming market. Prior to this announcement, Nintendo fans in Taiwan were required to use regional versions of the eShop based in Japan or Hong Kong, which often resulted in limitations and a less personalized user experience.

The new, localized eShop will provide Taiwanese gamers with a more convenient and comprehensive platform to browse, purchase, and download digital games and content directly on their Nintendo Switch consoles. In an official statement, translated via Google, Nintendo said that players in Taiwan will be able to enjoy “a more convenient and enriched gaming experience,” and noted that further details regarding specific services and content will be shared soon.

This launch marks a milestone in Nintendo’s ongoing efforts to expand accessibility and support for players around the globe. The opening of the eShop follows significant investments by Nintendo in Taiwan throughout 2025.

In February, the company established Nintendo of Taiwan, a dedicated subsidiary aimed at strengthening its operations and local market presence.

Nintendo of Taiwan officially began managing regional activities as of April 1, 2025. Additionally, Nintendo enhanced its visibility in the country by inaugurating a Flagship Store in the bustling Xinyi district of Taipei in April 2025.

This retail outlet offers fans access to a wide array of Nintendo products and event experiences, further demonstrating the company’s commitment to local players. Nintendo’s strategic efforts in Taiwan have not gone unnoticed, with the 2024 Taipei Game Show highlighting their growing product lineup and engagement in the region.

The introduction of a homegrown eShop is poised to streamline access to Nintendo Switch games and downloadable content, ensuring that Taiwanese gamers enjoy services on par with other major markets. As Nintendo continues its global expansion, the September 2025 launch of the Nintendo eShop in Taiwan underscores the company’s dedication to delivering localized and high-quality digital experiences to its international audience.
