Today in the Japanese eShop (2/6) a Demo for the game Langrisser I & II was released! That's pretty awesome for those who live in Japan right? Yes. However it's also awesome for the rest of us too! Why? Because it is super easy for the rest of us to play the demo. With no hacks or mods!

Step one: Create a new Nintendo Account

Go to accounts.nintendo.com

and create a new account, fill in all the information as you would normally only this time for the region select "Japan" continue with the registration process (verify your email) and you're on to step 2!

Step two: Grab your Switch

Head over to the "System Settings" on your switch and scroll down to "Users" click on "Add User" add a Nickname and then link your newly created 'Japanese' Nintendo account

So enter your password and you're onto the next step

Step three: Launch the eShop

Click on the eShop tab and your switch will ask who is using the Nintendo eShop, select your new account and you will see the following message:

This is roughly what it translates to:

"Please enter the password for your Nintendo eShop Nintendo account. If you set 'skip from next', (check the box) you do not need to input password each time you access the Nintendo eShop."

*If a notice pops up on your screen just click the "A button" it's just a notice about the language difference*

Step four: Locate and download the demo

The Japanese eShop is identical to all others only you're likely not going to be able to read much but fear not for I have pictures!

Scroll up to the search bar and click on the bottom left box

It will be the first result if it isn't you'll have to scroll through to find it, as if this writing searching for "Langrisser" or "I & II" Will not yield the demo.

Click the download demo button (it's free that price is there for the full game when it's released).

And there you have it!

If you want to go back to the English eShop simply select your normal Nintendo Account when launching the app!
