Nintendo of America is back advertising the handy Nintendo Switch Online Game Vouchers, which if you purchase your Nintendo games digitally, are a decent deal. You get two pairs of vouchers for $99.98 to spend on first party Nintendo games on the Nintendo eShop and a few third party ones. Nintendo has previously said that these Nintendo Switch Online Game Vouchers will not work for Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive games. Hopefully the Kyoto-based company will have an alternative Game Voucher scheme set up for the their upcoming platform, though games are expected to be slightly more pricey than current Switch games.
“Paid Nintendo Switch Online members can buy a pair of Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers for just $99.98 USD. Redeem each one for a digital game in the voucher catalog to score savings! Fan favorites like Splatoon 3, Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet, and many more are included. Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers cannot be redeemed for games exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2 system.”
I don’t care. This deal wasn’t worth it anyway. Second hand switch games is still the best way to buy them. But I gotta say, the fact that they are removing this deal with the gold coins worries me a lot.
Why does it worry you? Nintendo never has robust online systems. Even Club Nintendo got a replacement. This is just par for the course with Nintendo until they implement a new thing for Switch 2, and probably the same for Switch 3.
Switch 3 will never come by that name.
Source? Your uncle?
You guys were wrong about the Switch 2 name, so I wouldn’t bet on that one lol.
There will probably be a similar concept to this on Switch 2, once enough of Nintendo’s own games are on the system, or even ones they publish- I remember Octopath Traveler was once eligible and that’s how I got it.
I’m just glad they finally allow you to get a subscription to play older games. I had to repurchase all of my throw back games every time I bought a new Nintendo system. I wouldn’t do it these days, I would just leave Nintendo behind like I did PlayStation (and yes, I know PlayStation does it now, I just can’t afford every system that comes out any more).
