How to buy Nintendo Switch games from other regions?

Hi

I have been switching my Nintendo account region to Mexico to take advantage of a great deal. Sign into the eshop, prices are in MX peso. How ever my purchase will not go through when using any of my AUS credit cards. Tried the 28deg CC, no luck, presumably because the address is Australia. There is no place to actually enter an address in the shop, so not sure how to actually complete the purchase with my AUS cards.

Paypal is region locked.

Has anyone got some advice .

Cheers

    You'll need a Nintendo eShop card for that region but they're not readily available online for Mexico.

    Also you can create a Mexican MyNintendo account and add it to your Switch so that you don't have to switch between the regions.

    With PayPal, I think you have to create a brand new/additional PayPal account if you want to change regions.
