I’m good.
Unfortunately not a chance I will find this proof, but I could've sworn that's why NoA got rid of them--they got lobbied. Maybe it was Kit and Krysta thing, maybe I totally made it up, I can't remember. Just swear I saw that somewhere but sorry I don't have any proof.I don't think that's the case but your post made me think, what if big retailers gad issue with it? I mean, if you are GameStop, Walmart, Target etc and you are selling games at 60$ while people can buy them straight from Nintendo for less, I can see the problem.
There are some exceptions like mainline Pokémon games that have literally never been on sale so it's always worth to check in some cases.As an eu member...
Still more expensive then physical in many cases, and many of the games in the catalogue go on sale fairly regularly for 30%. Only saw the appeal if youre adamantly digital and want games on launch.
While the vouchers are a nice deal, I can't help but feel that the price proposition in the US is not very lucrative, especially because the discounted price isn't even 20% (assuming two $60 games), so I guess it's more for those who wants games soon after release. After all, most of them would likely be at 30% discount save for some very special games like Pokemon. Still, since Pokemon is there, that's one thing that it could be spent on.
It's funny that the thread is listed as a "Spoiler" since the title pretty much spoiled the news without the need to open the thread.
Thank you for reading.
i would say yes (and in most cases its true), but especially pokemon i find fun cause here it jumps between 45 and 55€ on the regular. (physical)There are some exceptions like mainline Pokémon games that have literally never been on sale so it's always worth to check in some cases.
yes, you can use them for all first party gamesCan use this for Zelda?
Here in the UK, and I assume it will be the same for you, you get gold coins for buying the vouchers, but you do not get any gold coins when you use the voucher to purchase a game.As a day one digital buyer, this is just a sweet straight up $10 discount on games. Games which, at $60, are starting to feel pretty cheap already.
I'll buy two - Zelda and whatever next impresses me. Hopefully Metroid Prime.
One question - do you still get Nintendo coins? Beacuse if not that reduces the savings. You often get double Nintendo coins for a $60 purchase, amounting to $6 off.
Nope. Like eShop credit or games themselves, the vouchers belong to a specific Account.Can you use vouchers across two accounts on the same Family Plan?
I assume not, but that would likely be my main use case for them.
The NOA promo was planned for just one year. It didn't go away.Realistically, these went away because Nintendo's number crunchers told them they weren't necessary and were costing them $10 per sale among a reasonable percentage of clued-in fans.
They're coming back because Nintendo wants to stimulate software sales again. Suggests they might not have many big games in the short to medium term pipeline or that software sales are slowing.
The idea here would be to get someone to buy a pair of vouchers thinking "Hey, that's $10 off Zelda" and then they spend the second voucher on a whim on something they wouldn't otherwise have bought - resulting in a net profit for Nintendo.
I can't see TotK and Pikmin 4 in the list of software available. Are we 100% sure that we'll have the possibility to get them via voucher once they become available for pre-order ?
Also, can we purchase the vouchers with a 7 Day Free Trial membership?
Well I hope a 3 months membership will do thenYou can't purchase vouchers with a trial membership.
In fact in the UK Smash and BOTW were £10 above full price meaning the vouchers give an effective 30% discount instead of the usual 16% discount for full price games and they are still available on the voucher scheme.No regular full price game has gotten special treatment with vouchers so far in every other country. Unless Doug hates y'all that much I don't see why they wouldn't be available. They won't show up on the list until they are actually available for pre-order, yes.

They are only added in the list once they are available for preorder on the eshop. It's normal and I wouldn't worry about it.I can't see TotK and Pikmin 4 in the list of software available.

Yeah I'm planning on using a voucher for TotK cus I'm expecting it to have the chunky priceIn fact in the UK Smash and BOTW were £10 above full price meaning the vouchers give an effective 30% discount instead of the usual 16% discount for full price games and they are still available on the voucher scheme.
they list mostly all Nintendo published games that have an MSRP that when there are two games combined together its equal greater than the $99.98, so $50 games will fall in the area.Why are there $50 games eligible for this? Do they want people to buy those by mistake and not be able to refund them?
Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers must be redeemed for two games with a cumulative price that is higher than the purchase price of the Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers.
Oh wow, I knew there was something missing when I scanned the list......NOA really doesn't care. Damn.Famicom Detective Club not on the eligible games list. Damn it Nintendo! Hopefully it will be added at some point.
They can't refund them anyway.Why are there $50 games eligible for this? Do they want people to buy those by mistake and not be able to refund them?
Is the combo pack eligible in any other regions?Famicom Detective Club not on the eligible games list. Damn it Nintendo! Hopefully it will be added at some point.

Are they a great deal?Really good news for all people buying from the US eShop! Vouchers are a great deal
It sure feels that way and I hate it.This will be Nintendo's select program this gen.
