A couple more insanely cheap "self-isolation" games on the US eShop
Revenge of the Bird King link:

Also available for $0.03 is Watermelon Party:

Username checks out :D
I wish the AU eshop had these deals…
How do we get on to the US shop?
Sign up to a US account online, then make a new profile on the Switch itself and link the two together. Then, open the eShop with the new US account and make the purchase there. Once purchased, the game can be accessed by any profile on the console, including our Aussie ones.
As for the purchase method itself, I haven't tried it myself - as I, like many others, had leftover Gold Coins from the Target US fiasco.
Log into My Nintendo, go to your profile and change your region to the USA. Less finicky than creating a second account with a second email.
To note:
You cannot change regions if you still have funds in your account
Gold coins will remain in your account, but will only be usable in the region you earned them
You can use certain physical games to redeem gold points across multiple regions. If this works, it saves you buying American eshop cards to purchase these titles.
What I wish I knew before having two accounts on one system is:
Not having two accounts prevents the stupid "select user" nag screen on your console which comes up every time you want to do something (not just when you first turn on the system).. Sigh. It comes up so often you won't believe it.
Downside: no stacking cheap credit
@justtoreply: If I change my location to US and buy just this game by using a $10 nintendo gift card, will I be able to change my location back to Australia
@Rookie1: Only once you've used your $10 credit which is why I suggested the physical game gold point redemption method
@Faro: Reddit suggests: there's an option but it only appears if you have just one profile.
That makes THE OPPOSITE of sense!
How does Watermelon Party compare to Lemon Parties?
Definitely involves a younger group of people.
Any way to make payment methods work? card and paypal don't work with american account.
Buy a $10 card from playasia or similar
Alternatively redeem any new physical purchases on your American region account.
I buy mine using PayPal from target.com with no dramas. Code is usually emailed within 60-90 mins.

I just bought a card from target.com and my code is 19 characters but Nintendo asks for 16? Am I missing something?
Are you definitely trying to redeem via the US eShop?
I buy mine using PayPal from target.com with no dramas.
Did you have to add US address into PayPal?
I just bought this gift card using PayPal from Target USA, there's no need for a US address!

@JJlikes2eat: Do you have US address in PayPal account?
I just tried to purchase $10 Nintendo Card and my Target Order was cancelled $35 minutes later.
My PayPal was never charged. So I suspect there is an issue with PayPal transaction.
a word of warning re: buying the US eshop GC, you can't change back to AUS if you have outstanding funds, as I do ($9.87)
"Do you have an outstanding Nintendo eShop balance? While you have funds remaining, it is not possible to change your country/region setting."
So might just have to leave this on the US region until I use up the funds. Could potentially be crappy as the requirement to get to zero funds means I have to find games that exactly cost $9.87 USD (unless I use a friend's US credit card to pay for anything over)
Omg …I just purchased 2x 20US eshop code …but I actually want to stay in AU region .
Anyone who currently in US region need it ?

Hmmmmm, 0.09 usd is still a little out of my price range, might wait for future deals to get a better deal.
