With the Switch, Nintendo has left behind a long legacy of region-locking its consoles. Now, if you buy a console in the US, you can buy cartridges from Japan, or browse other region’s eShops for new games or cheaper prices. Here’s how to change the region on your Switch.

借助Switch，任天堂在其控制台的区域锁定方面留下了悠久的历史。 现在，如果您在美国购买游戏机，则可以从日本购买墨盒，或浏览其他地区的eShop以获取新游戏或价格更低的游戏。 这是在Switch上更改区域的方法。

While the Switch isn’t region-locked, there are still some differences that might make temporarily changing regions more appealing. A game may be released in Japan before it’s released in the US, or you might find a game for a cheaper price in another region’s eShop. Some games might never see a release in your region. If you’re into foreign games or just want to shop around, it might be worth changing your region. If you buy cartridges from another region, you’ll need to change your console’s region to play them, too.

尽管Switch并未锁定区域，但仍然存在一些差异，这些差异可能会使临时更改的区域更具吸引力。 游戏可能会在日本发布之前先于日本发布，或者您可能会在另一个地区的eShop上找到价格便宜的游戏。 某些游戏可能永远不会在您所在的地区发布。 如果您喜欢玩外国游戏，或者只是想逛逛，可能值得更改您的地区。 如果您从其他地区购买墨盒，则也需要更改控制台的地区才能播放它们。

To change the region on your console, select Settings from the main menu.

要在控制台上更改区域，请从主菜单中选择“设置”。

Scroll down to the bottom and select System.

向下滚动至底部，然后选择系统。

Select Region from the System menu.

从系统菜单中选择区域。

Choose the region you want to switch to from the pop up that appears.

从出现的弹出窗口中选择要切换到的区域。

Next, you’ll need to accept a new EULA to switch regions. Click Next.

接下来，您需要接受新的EULA才能切换区域。 点击下一步。

On the next screen, click the Accept checkbox. Next , select Restart. The console will reboot using the region you selected.

在下一个屏幕上，单击“接受”复选框。 接下来，选择重新启动。 控制台将使用您选择的区域重新启动。

Once your console has restarted, you can use any cartridges from the region you chose. For example, if you bought a copy of Breath of the Wild in Japan, you can play it in your console after you change your region to Japan. If you want to shop from another region’s eShop, you can create a second account and user profile and set the location for that account to match the region. The Switch asks you which user you’re playing as every time you open a game or the eShop, so you can always pick the user that matches the region you bought a game for every time.

控制台重新启动后，您可以使用所选区域中的任何盒式磁带。 例如，如果您在日本购买了《野性之息》，则可以在将地区更改为日本后在控制台中进行播放。 如果要从另一个地区的eShop购物，则可以创建另一个帐户和用户个人资料，并设置该帐户的位置以匹配该地区。 每次打开游戏或eShop时，Switch都会询问您正在玩哪个用户，因此您始终可以每次选择与您购买游戏的地区相匹配的用户。
