Nintendo announces Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers (Buy 2 full price games for $99.99 / Exclusive for NSO users)
- Thread starter --R
- Start date
Sweet, canceling my Amazon pre-order of SMM 2 and grabbing this. I wanted digital anyway. Will probably pick up Fire Emblem as well!
Given that the lowest priced games are $49.99 (6 of them) and the vouchers are $99.99, you could give Nintendo 3 cents for free if you buy all 6 $49.99 games via vouchers
That would involve buying 1-2-Switch at full price, so I'd recommend just burning a $50 bill to get more enjoyment
Having an expiration date on something like this is completely ridiculous and should be straight up illegal. It's essentially taking away something that the user bought with real money.
Hell it probably already is in some countries I bet.
Hopefully some jurisdictions notice this and take appropriate action towards Nintendo.

This was definitely the highlight of the direct for me. I will definitely jump on this for Fire Emblem and another TBD game.
I know. Still too high in my book. I'd only pay that much for a physical copy, especially since there's no proper refund policy on the eShop and not all games get demos.
Not really a great deal, but folks that like to buy digital don't have a whole lot of choices to begin with.
Nice. Thanks for the answers all!
I wonder how the vouchers work exactly in terms of redemption. When AC drops, I'll be getting another Switch for my wife. It'd be rad if she could use one of the vouchers for her copy of the game. I have her setup under my Family Account.
$10 off a brand new game isnt great, but not awful deal if you were guna get them day one anyways.
The eshop is a steal on some third party games
Nintendo though, lol games cost1600
Classic ass pose lmao.
Astral Chain artwork is up on E-shop
Looks cool otherwise.
The 80's, early 90's anime vibe is strong here. I love it.

I don't think anyone with a family account that has bought these has reported in yet, but I very, very much doubt it, much like how family accounts do not share eShop balances
I'd just look into setting up game sharing between those two Switches, assuming the constraints work for your and your wife's planned Switch use cases
Finally a promotion that don't fuck with those who are buying a game day one or the ones buying it digitally.
Now, the 1 hundred dollar question: can i use this with the one month subscription?

Might consider getting it if Pokemon SwSh wows me at E3. IDK what other game I'd get though, since I don't really want to get SMM2 for full price considering I spent $50 on NSMBU and barely touch it.
Although I've been wanting to go all digital on Switch, my GCU doesn't expire until August so I've just had to buy all the big games physically (saving $12 per game is just too ridiculous to pass up). However this will be perfect for after it expires.
I don't see why would wouldn't be able to, it's a full NSO sub and not a trial
That's pretty nice. 16.6% discount is pretty nice for games that rarely get discounted.
Been expecting/hoping they'd add stuff like this for Nintendo online

Holy crap I didn't think of this, I'm always scrounging around look for eshop credit deals and I already have one in my wallet smdh...
You can hold up to 8 vouchers/4 pairs at a time
Probably isn't a limit on how many you can buy, as long as you aren't holding onto them/stay under that cap for number held
The last date you can buy them is July 31st (at least in America/NOA territories), they expire 1 year from purchase date
Best part is eshop itself don't have the same promo. Great, right?
This would be best used for games you plan on getting at launch. In that sense, it's not bad at all.
Once my Best Buy GCU expires, this might be the cheapest way for me to get Switch games. However, I'm pretty committed to going physical with Switch. I hope this promotion comes back around once I'm ready to go all in on digital.

best i got is work discount makes 2 $50 eshop cards for $85.50. But i generally dont see eshop cards on sale lately.
This seems indefinite, as it's a promotion only for NSO members and they are promoting more future titles compatible. You can purchase multiple vouchers. The only real restriction is you need to have a subscription and your voucher lasts a year after purchase.
I agree. Originally I was on the fence before, but thinking about it, this will be great for Mario Maker 2 and Pokemon SS for me. The latter is the only game coming out I'm sure I'll be buying day 1.
Might get this depending on what's announced at E3. Doesn't sound too bad now that my GCU went kaput.
