Besides buying physical game carts, if you want it digital and possibly cheaper (during sales), you should get your digital games directly from the Nintendo e-Shop. The region which you set in your Nintendo Account is the e-Shop which you have access to.

How to buy games from the US e-Shop
This is suitable for players who do not have a region e-shop (e.g. Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand etc...). If you have PayPal set up or a credit card, it easy to purchase from the US e-Shop.
For the US e-shop, you will be prompted for a zip code; be sure to select a state that doesn’t have sales tax.
Here are some codes you can use:
- 97330 – Corvallis, Oregon
- 03222 – New Hampshire, Bristol
- 97222 – Milwaukie, Oregon
- 97116 – Forest Grove, Oregon
- 97080 – Portland, Oregon
Note: This is only valid for users outside of the Americas region. US citizens need to use their original states for tax obligations.
When there are sales, it can be more affordable to get some games digitally. The only downside is you cannot resell the game once you have completed it or if you find that you don't like it. And you need to have enough storage so buying an external SD card is a must if you plan on getting ma=ostly or may games digitally. Like the physical game carts, you can get gold coins to offset your next digital purchase.
I was able to get Mario Rabbits Kingdom Battle Gold Edition for less than USD$20, which was SGD$21.02 after conversion. The physical game cartridge without the DLC goes for around SGD$35-40 for a brand new game cart, and around SGD$25-30 if it is 2nd hand.
To stay updated on the latest sales or drop in prices on games, you can set up price alert on Deku Deals. Deku Deals tracks the prices of Nintendo Switch games on the e-Shop and at major retailers in order to find the best deals.
