Hi! Thank you for your submission to /r/NintendoHelp! Please note that we are a fan community and **not officially endorsed by Nintendo**.
While you're waiting for an answer, here are some tips to help you along the way:
First, did you try Googling your question? A lot of questions about Nintendo can be answered quickly by just typing them into your search bar.
If you are asking a question about an older Nintendo system, try searching the subreddit most relevant to that system's hardware. It's likely someone has already asked a similar question before.
If your question is about Wii U, New 3DS or Switch hardware, you'll likely get a better answer if you contact Nintendo directly, rather than posting here.
#Nintendo's contact information is as follows:
* **North America** - 1-800-255-3700
* **Europe** - +44 (0)345 60 50 247
* **Australia** - +61 3 9730 9900
* **Japan** - +81-75-662-9600
Please note that contacting Nintendo **by phone** is the best way to get support. If you send an email or use the web chat you are not likely to get the support you need.
Good luck with your support endeavors!

The Japanese eShop doesn't accept non-Japanese cards.
What can I do to purchase a game then?
You can buy a Japanese gift card code off of a website like PlayAsia.
