## About

Subscription service for online multiplayer, classic games, and cloud saves

## Activity summary

Restricted for users in Syria. A community member verified in February 2026 that the website loads and accounts and browsing work, but Syria is absent from the region selector, so users must choose Saudi Arabia, and purchasing and delivery are limited to Saudi Arabia only. This leaves the core service unavailable to Syrian users. No outreach to the company has been made yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-02-18 — Verified. Community member verified that the Nintendo Online website is accessible from Syria via DSL, but the service itself is restricted. The site loads without errors, account creation and login work, and the game store is fully browsable. However, Syria is not listed as a supported country in the region selector — users must select Saudi Arabia instead. Purchasing and delivery are limited to Saudi Arabia only, making the core service (buying games, subscriptions, physical delivery) unavailable for Syrian users. Status changed from blocked to restricted.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025.
