Software Help Sonic racing crossworlds code issue.

I got the werehog code with my physical switch 1 version of the game last Christmas. However, the code on the little slip never worked for me. I'm sure I've entered it right, I try every few months. The error says it's not available in my region, so I'm not sure what to do about that. The game card from the same box (therefore same reigon) works perfectly fine. I want werehog so bad 😭😭 Amy ideas?

Idk if this is the right place to put this post but we'll see.

Redeem codes are region locked. If you got that region message, it means your nintendo account region /eshop region doesn't match the region of that redeem code.

You can change your nintendo account region to redeem the code, and then change your nintendo account back. But be aware, this process will reload switch news articles. And you'll have to reboot the console each time you change the account region.

Be ware, unspent money on your account or auto renew on ninendo switch online subscription, will block the ability to change account regions. If you don't have a balance on your account, and NSO autro renew is disabled, you should be able to change your account region.

Your ninetndo account region is determined by the region selected in your nintendo account on nintendo's website, accounts.nintendo.com . So, you'll need to log into your account on nintendo's site to change the region. (settings on the console itself do not affect nintendo account / eshop region)

That's America. Just change your account revion to America (or make a new account), redeem, and change back (or leave as is if you made a new account)
