The page says you can have 8 vouchers at a time, so probably no limit if you're using them up immediately, assuming you really want almost every game in this promotion
Dragon Quest Builders 2 it is! :D
Game releases in July, so I think the vouchers will help by then.
It looks like you can use eShop credit to buy these vouchers, so you can combine it with discounted gift cards from places like Raise or PCGameSupply.
Here in Europe it's a 40,98 euro saving on BotW + Smash and 5 euro in gold coins.
That's a pretty good deal.
That's a pretty good deal.
Most of those games aren't hard to find on sale for less than $50 pretty regularly though. Nice for digital folks though I guess.
Oh, cool. I buy all my Switch games digitally now and I generally get them at launch so this is a great deal for me.
Then only buy it if you know of two games you want to get? and this will still be live after E3 so it's fairly likely we know of more games by then anyway.
I'm getting Mario maker digitally for sure. If they announce that animal crossing is going to be included I'll def jump on that.
Since my Target employee discount plus the red card 5% both work on Nintendo eShop credit, I'm even more sold.

I don't think that this new deal is going to sway many people who haven't subscribed to NSO yet, but it's a neat bonus for existing subscribers.
My guess this is aimed for the new release/digital preorder crowd to save money. First party, and switch exclusives seem to fall into this. So if someone wants digital day 1, its a good deal, otherwise, can find cheaper, or just about same price physically elsewhere
1. Max is 8 at a time on an account
2. Yes you can also use gold coins on them. I did and it gave back gold coins lol
Well, hell. I already have all the digital Nintendo games that I want which are the multiplayer ones.
If only they had another interesting looking one (Not Mario Tennis Aces nor Super Mario Party) I would buy it along with Super Mario Maker 2.

Thank you for pointing that out.
Probably going to buy at least 4 vouchers then
ow my budget

Just warning everyone who quoted me/plans to stock up: keep in mind these vouchers expire 1 year from purchase, so don't stock up and have some of them expire
It's weird. They claim you can't use it on anything less than full priced games... but then include games like Sushi Striker and 1-2-Switch (which was shown!) which in Canada, is literally cheaper bought on their own together than with the vouchers ($129.98 vs $132.99).
Also a big problem if this means no E3 sale where their games have been 30% off. In Canada, the $79.99 games via the vouchers become $66.49, where as 30% off makes then $55.99.
And, you can't seemingly get the bundles with their passes, just the base game which would help a lot.
The only good in this is for pre-orders of anything this holiday that won't go on sale before then. My advice is to wait until E3 and TGA for instance pass and see what sales they may have then. Pokemon and Animal Crossing are likely sticking at full price (for obvious reasons), so go with those.
Also keep watch of any potential 2x gold coin pre-orders. I can see those still happening.

once i saw this in the eshop i immediately went to see if my work discount worked on eshop credit, and i'm happy that i can get those 2 games for $85.50 (before any gold coins i may have)
Im going to be doing this every time I want to buy a new game and another one coming out within the year. Dont make no sense not to
Very interested to see if I can buy 4 vouchers, FE MUA MM and AC are all must buy this summer.
Great deal to push digital, can likely get 100 eshop credit for 85 dollars, plus you get the 500 coins back, $40 for new games is the hotness.

Welp, that's enough incentive for me -- seriously eyeing MUA3 and Astral Chain, easily, and if other titles get eligible that just makes it easier.
the main question is Do we expect Sword and Shield to be part of this, or for it to be the special exclusion?
Of course this comes after I bought Yoshi and DK full price :/
But it is still neat, probably will get Mario Deluxe and Kirby.

Some of those games are mad overpriced, like how arms is still $60? smh
I guess if you buy day 1 you'd might get something out of this, but this is not the discount I wanted.

So when you add in that you get 500 gold coins it essentially ends up being around 21% off right? that's not bad at all for new games, especially as I'm trying to go all digital.
