The Switch eShop is adding a brand new payment option. Going forward, system owners will be able to use PayPal to add funds to their balance.

PayPal can’t be used directly with Wii U or 3DS. However, any game purchased on Nintendo’s website can be used with PayPal. That means if you’re purchasing a Switch, Wii U, or 3DS game on the site, PayPal is an option if you’re short on funds.

Freaking finally.

Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

A surprising, but welcome decision from Nintendo.

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Didn't expect that. Nintendo doing something for consumer choice. I guess it's because this kind of choice is making them money. Good for them.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Yay, PayPal! I hate fiddling around with card numbers so this is great news!
On the downside a faster payment method might lead to me spending more than I should.
