Coming from a Kotaku Q&A with Nintendo...

Q: Will online stores be region-free or just cartridges?

A: The Nintendo Switch system is not region locked, but we recommend that players buy games within their region to ensure full service and support. The user will access the Nintendo eShop that corresponds to the country identified in their Nintendo Account. (Up to eight user accounts can be created on a single Nintendo Switch system.)
