You\u2019ll need a Japanese Nintendo account to grab this fruit drop game
You may have seen streamers play what has been labeled as \u201cJapan\u2019s hardest game,\u201d Suika Game<\/strong><\/em>, a fruit drop game where you combine fruit together in a 2048<\/em>-ish fashion until you run out of space.
There is a free version you can play on your browser<\/a>, but this is not the version streamers are playing \u2014 it\u2019s a simplified version with slightly different scoring, physics, and rules. (In the Nintendo Switch Suika Game<\/em>, you can see the next fruit you\u2019ll have to drop, like Tetris<\/em>, but you can\u2019t in the browser version.) It should also be mentioned that there are also several dupes of the game on the iOS app store, but they all seem like ill-conceived clones.
If you want to play the<\/em> Suika Game, you\u2019ll need a Japanese Nintendo account to access the Japanese eShop and a source to pay for it. The game costs 240 yen (a little under $2).
It\u2019s actually super easy to make a Japanese Nintendo account.
You\u2019ll need to add a user to your Nintendo Switch that is linked to the Japanese Nintendo account you just made. You can do that by following these steps:
That\u2019s all you have to do. Once you do download Suika Game<\/em>, you won\u2019t have to use this account to play, so long as this is your Japanese account\u2019s \u201chome Switch.\u201d We\u2019ve been launching the game through our usual profile and we\u2019ve been playing just fine.
There are two ways to get Suika Game<\/em>. You can buy it on a browser and it\u2019ll automatically download to your Switch, or you can buy it through the eShop. The eShop offers more payment options but requires a tiny bit of keyboard language fussing. The browser option is just a checkout process, but you may need to figure out a specific payment option.
To download via browser, do the following:
The Nintendo eShop website would not accept our American credit card, so we had to resort to buying a 500 yen Japanese eShop gift card and applying that balance to our account. With this, we were able to nab the precious Suika Game<\/em>.
Some people have reported that you can buy the Suika Game <\/em>through Paypal successfully if you buy it through your console. If you don\u2019t know how to write using the Japanese alphabet, this can be tricky. To grab the Suika Game<\/em> through your Switch, do the following:
Now you\u2019re ready to score above 3,000 and win in Suika Game<\/em>.
