Nintendo announces Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers (Buy 2 full price games for $99.99 / Exclusive for NSO users)
- Thread starter --R
- Start date
There will probably be more, but games like Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem aren't available to pre-order yet in the eShop.
Good point. Nintendo should just open up a bank so I can dd my money right to them. :P
But does that count for digital copies as well? Games like Animal Crossing are games that you play almost every single day. Games like that greatly benefit from having a digital copy since you won't have to swap out cartridges everytime you want to play 20 minutes of AC to do the daily stuff and then return to your other, bigger game. I'm someone who still buys pretty much every game physical, but I really want games like Mario Maker 2 and Animal Crossing digital for the reason I described above. And no way am I going to find digital codes for that price online or at retail.
Not sure if I'm messing up my math here, but:
With the MyNintendo Gold coins you get with the purchase of the voucher (500 coins/$5) you're essentially paying $94.99 for two $60 games/$120.
That's 21%, which is as good as GCU
Wheres a good place you can find discounted eshop cards on a somewhat regular basis?
I got one for 20$ off before but it was only on black friday
I've stuck to retail on Switch because it's cheaper and so other Switches in the household can play the games I buy, but I'm already frustrated by having to change carts all the damn time.
I really hope there's some sort of family sharing deal for digital titles on their next system so I can go all digital and not have those games be locked to my account on my Switch. Also, in hindsight, the Xbox One's original vision where buying a retail game would give you digital access is a great idea for something like the Switch.
I just got an email this voucher this is only for a limited time, can't buy them anymore after July 31st didn't notice that
Gotta follow accounts like Wario64.
PayPal gets them every once in awhile, that's what I used last. eBay used to get them, but not regularly.
Black Friday might have some
Just making sure does everyone realize these vouchers won't be available to purchase anymore after July 31st? This isn't a permanent thing
It's in the OP, and I just got the info in an email

Now here's the conundrum. What if FE and the like have premium editions? Surely you can't use the voucher for those. So you're taking a bit of a gamble there.
Also Fry's seems to have them on sale on Fridays if you're close to one.
Holy hell. Solid deal. After GCU died I don't see any better way to get new Nintendo first party games at a discount.
Just jumped on SMM2 with the voucher, I have most of the other games so I'm going to patiently wait and see if FE turns out to be great. If not I'm sure something else will catch my eye in the next year that I have to use this thing.

It's a pretty good deal when combined with discounts on eShop credit.
Definitely going for Mario Maker 2. Not sure about the second game though. Do we have to choose the second game right away or do we have the full year to wait and see?

Good one.
I don't think first party games will usually get cheaper than this digitally. It also depends on the region, though. I buy Japanese games, so this is a pretty good deal.
Even gift cards have an expiration date bro
Edit: Fixed. It's not even a gift card, it's a voucher for very specific library. What you talk about imply to eShop balance with has its own reward program

If you're in the US and have an Amazon Prime Credit Card you get 5% credit back on any Amazon purchase so I buy E-Shop gift cards from Amazon if there's no better deal. Of course you don't get the money right away (you get the credit after you pay your credit card bill) but hey it's better than nothing.
eshop Card sale plus this plus you get coins right?
Not bad with a little work if used on high value games like Mario Maker 2 and.....?

Astral chain, fire emblem, Luigi's mansion 3, links awakening
Do we know if animal crossing, link's Awakening, or Luigi's Mansion will apply? If you can only buy them through July 31st, they might just limit it to summer titles.
eShop says that they plan to add more games "over time." They're sticking to what's dated so far.
Should prolly pickup two pairs of those passes. Might have to get a few more after E3. Smart timing on Nintendo's part.
SMM2, FE Three Houses, LoZ Link's Awakening, Animal Crossing.
