What Is a Zip/Postal Code on Nintendo Switch?
Last updated
Ever wondered what a zip/postal code means when you’re setting up or making purchases on your Nintendo Switch? Let’s break it down in a simple way.
A zip/postal code on the Nintendo Switch is like a special key that tells Nintendo where you live. It’s important for a couple of reasons, which we’ll dive into!
Defining the Zip/Postal Code
First off, a zip/postal code is a series of letters and/or numbers that identifies your specific area in the world. In the case of the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo asks for this code to make sure they can send you cool stuff that works where you live.
Why does this matter? Well, different places have different games and goodies available. That’s why Nintendo needs to know your zip/postal code, so they make sure you’re seeing things that you can actually get and enjoy!
