It's a theory I suspect could be possible. The only thing that I think throws it off though is why some people specifically heard it was going to be a holiday 2022 release if it really was only a tech demo and not something meant for the public to see. It's more likely that the release window got shuffled around rather than it being something that was never meant to see the light of day.
You're not saving money is why people are saying that. For example 2 physical games cost $120 dollars. While the vouchers cost $100, plus the $20 cost of a Switch Online membership. Which is still $120.
This is assuming you are paying full price for online and not a family plan, and only buying two games per year

If it works like how Game Vouchers currently work. Someone can have a max of up to 8 game vouchers at one time (can still get more after just not at once) for 8 different games that just has to be spent over 12 months. You’ll make the cost back of NSO ($20) on the first pair of vouchers, with future voucher games all getting discounts
My bad, then Totk direct in March.
Where I live physical Nintendo games are ~60$. Digital games in the eshop are for some reason I don‘t quite get ~78$. The voucher costs 130$ and regular NSO is 28$. So yeah a bad deal.
Finally a use for chibi robo
That only works out if you're buying the online just for the vouchers and only use them once a year. I don't think anyone is doing that?

Famiboards when things are getting really serious:Decided to plot a graph of Nintendo Direct Dates in the Switch Era (Winter and Fall Only) vs the First-Party releases closest to that direct. As it turns out, there's actually a decent mathematical correlation between them. As in, it makes a pretty good trendline.
Punching in the date of Fire Emblem: Engage's release date actually nets you a Direct date of February 1st which is hilarious and also interesting.
Of course, don't take too much stock into this as this is based off patterns that may or may not continue later. But, it is an interesting footnote.

That's Australia, I think it's just NA that hasn't had vouchers in a while.Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers/Nintendo

Got it, I didn’t know other countries had them still, edited my post.
I didn't either until tonight, to be fair! I've learned a lot lol.
been on my backlog for a while.
Right? Boyfriend and I haven't sat down and watched a movie in a few weeks, and then 20 minutes in, Vouchers™

Too many games
Yup, which is exactly why none of those comments from him and Andy really mean anything. I'm not sure why some care so much unless they are just bitter about them, which seems to be the case for some.
I think the too RPG heavy complaint will be valid for this direct as well lmao.
este es un gran momento de <<please god>>
It’s not “obvious” to me that we don’t get a new 2D or 3D Mario tbh. Looking at normal release cycles, they’re long overdue. Of course, they can “save” that for Switch 2, it makes sense, but it doesn’t make their absence better and it’s honestly disappointing that so many IPs just got a Wii U port and that was it. So I do fear as well that we don’t get “big” Switch games after Zelda, yes. And of course, Metroid or Fire Emblem don’t count. You can’t compare that to Mario (Kart) or Zelda. For the record: I really appreciate that Nintendo brought back so many smaller franchises for Switch.
I don't like the Metroid Prime series that much
Red Dead Redemption 2 is a brilliant story smothered by dull, clunky, and tedious gameplay. The original RDR is a WAY better game.
Too much "shooty shooty bang bang".
I think an Amiibo Festival 2 could be good, and that Amiibo Festival (for the most part) wasn't as terrible as some people say. It just wasn't what anyone wanted, and it seemed half-baked and not fully thought out.
You’d be doing God’s work, my friend.
