Nintendo Implements Restrictions on International eShop Purchases from Select Countries
Nintendo has implemented restrictions on international purchases on its eShop platform, specifically targeting countries where gamers can purchase digital games at a lower price than their own country, such as Argentina and Turkey. Users attempting to make purchases from the Argentinian eShop without a bank card or gift card registered for that country will encounter error code 2813-2470. The restriction is based on the requirement that payment methods or credit cards used for purchases in the eShop must be issued in the same country.
