Fanatical has announced that they are partnering with Nintendo to sell digital Switch and 3DS titles in Europe via the company’s website.
Craig Johnson, managing director of Fanatical said the following
“We’re delighted to have Nintendo on the Fanatical Store alongside our other valued publishers. With the acquisition of EU region titles from a prestigious name such as Nintendo, our customers now have access to an even larger array of quality games at competitive prices.”
“Providing officially licensed games and not dealing within the grey key market is paramount to our brand, rewarding the hard-working publishers, developers and partners that we work with, as well as providing our customers with top quality products. This partnership shows our intent to be one of the leading digital entertainment retailers, and we look forward to working closely with Nintendo – and potentially even more partners in the near future.”
Fanatical is now starting off by taking pre-orders for both Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield. Notably, preorders come with a 10 percent discount.
The United States may not be part of this yet, but Fanatical says it is “hoping to expand regions out in the future”.
