Not sure how well this will go down compared to the PSN flash sales, but I think it's not bad a deal. So hopefully help at least one person!

Yes you need a US account. There's two ways to do this
-Create a seperate account, like you have on the PS4
- Change the region of your Nintendo account
I'd go with the first method, what I personally use. Easy to set up, and access the store. Once you've downloaded your purchase you can launch it using any account on your Switch.
Here's how to create a new account for the US:
1. Go to https://accounts.nintendo.com/ and create a new account
2. Select the country and time zone of the store you wish to access
3. On your switch console, create a new account and link your newly created Nintendo account to it.
4. Access the eShop, you will be prompted to select which account to use for that session. Just pick which store you want to access
The other method is a bit more tricky with using credit like this, as you either have to spend all the credit or contact Nintendo to switch the account region back to UK. It's more suited to just using credit or debit cards.

Splatoon 2 is $60 so this makes it around £32.
Same for Arms, Zelda and MK8.
Puyo Tetris is only $30 too.

One per account :disappointed:
But I thought the same at first as well, would have bought a truck load!

New to Nintendo Store (just got a Switch)...
Do you need a US account or can this be applied to a UK one?

Wow. Has anyone tried applying it to their account and actually using it to buy a game?
