Japanese Nintendo Store will no longer accept credit cards issued abroad and overseas Paypal accounts
Nintendo announced some big changes today regarding payment methods on their Japanese Nintendo eShop/My Nintendo Store. From March 25 onwards, they plan to stop accepting payments via credit cards issued outside Japan and Paypal accounts opened abroad.
According to the official announcement, this measure is to prevent fraud. Nintendo apologizes for any inconvenience caused by this change and requests that affected customers use other payment methods from now on, such as credit cards issued in Japan.
