In addition to the three confirmed indie launch titles, Nintendo also shared the following information about the functionality of the eShop on the Nintendo Switch:

To access the eShop on the Nintendo Switch, players are first required to install a system update available on March 3rd. The update will download in the background and is designed to install quickly so as to not disrupt gameplay.

Players who already have account funds across other Nintendo devices can use them on the Nintendo Switch via the shared wallet feature. To access Nintendo funds on the Switch, all players need to do is link their Nintendo Network ID and Nintendo Account.

The Nintendo eShop will include a "news" feature that offers updates about recent additions as well as information about upcoming games and updates from Nintendo.

Virtual Console games will not be available on the Nintendo Switch at launch, though more information is set to be revealed in the future.

Following the initial visit to the Nintendo eShop, players will then be able to purchase Nintendo Switch digital games over on the Nintendo website. Once the games are purchased, they will download automatically to the Nintendo Switch system both at home and on the go (as long as a Wi-Fi is enabled and in use).
