Humble Store “looking into the future possibility of bringing in more countries” for selling Nintendo games
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, General Nintendo, News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Earlier this month, Humble started selling codes for digital Nintendo titles on its store for the first time. Switch and 3DS owners have another way of purchasing games like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon.

During a recent Humble Bundle live stream, it was stated that the team is “looking into the future possibility of bringing in more countries”. It was reiterated right after, “Don’t worry, we’re looking into it for you guys.” If we happen to hear any news about this in the future, we’ll let you know.
