Nintendo doesn’t have to refund digital preorders, Confer to European court

A new court ruling sides with Nintendo’s ongoing practice to not let users cancel digital preorders (via Nintendo everything).

The consumer authorities of Norway and Germany sued Nintendo for not letting users cancel digital preorders purchased from the eShop. This week, the court ruled in favor of Nintendo, meaning it can continue the practice for now.

The Norwegian consumer council first formally criticized Nintendo’s policy in 2018. In fact, Nintendo states that all sales of digital purchases on the Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, and Nintendo switch are final.
