Does a French Switch game download code work in Germany?

The following situation: I want to buy Super Mario 3D All Stars digitally. The game is no longer available in the Nintendo eShop. Download codes work, however! That's why I wanted to buy a digital download code from Amazon. However, it says "Not Available". I also checked the French Amazon and they have digital download codes in stock. If I buy a code there, can I redeem it on my German Nintendo Account?

No, but you can create a French account and then redeem the key in the shop.

Hmm… I thought such codes were only split into European, American and Japanese. The game modules always have EUR on them. Whether from Germany, France, Spain, or anywhere else. Maybe download codes are the same for Europe 🤔

Are you actually sure or is your answer just a guess?

I do it myself in such a way that I buy the games in other stores, as it is partly Really a lot cheaper.
