Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo anounced Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers (Buy 2 Nintendo games for $99.99, Nintendo Switch Online Members only)

 

Is this a good offer from Nintendo

Yes 9 23.68%
 
Decent, but its only $10 + 5% 8 21.05%
 
Better than nothing 11 28.95%
 
Bad offer 10 26.32%
 
Total:38

Nintendo should really slash their game prices by more, and more often. I still find these prices too expensive given how old these titles are now.

Alright, more sales for Xenoblade 2. Gotta bump those numbers up.

I got X2 for $35 physical on last year's Black Friday sale.  I'm not so sure that this voucher is so great when you wait a while and know where to look.

Nintendo likes to retain the value of their games even years after their release as they keep selling at or close to full price regardless. I wouldn't expect any major game discounts until/if they bring back Nintendo Selects for Switch.

In a straight conversion that's £77 which if that's the price in the UK it's a steal as games here are around £45-£49.

It's £84 in the uk unfortunately. Can Preorder Super Mario Maker 2 for £39.99 so cheaper to just buy it on it's own.

I don't think any of the games on the list would be difficult to find for under £42.



It CAN be a great deal, if you are planning on buying a near-brand-new game when it is still full price - if the game is eligible.

I don't see myself ever using it, though, because the only times I buy games while still full price, I'm likely preordering them, and if I do that from Amazon, I get quite a bit more of a discount.

But this is still a great move, I think.

Damn that's unfortunate.



€99.99 for two account bound games? I'll pass.

Never bought a Switch game for €50 or more so far. My most expensive Switch games were Breath of the Wild for 48 €, Super Mario Odyssey for €46 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for €37... all of them in 2017, they should be cheaper by now in a "normal" market.

Last month I bought these FIVE Switch games for €100 in total (so €20 each): Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Diablo 3, LEGO City Undercover, Captain Toad and Let's Go, Ebola. All of them as retail versions without account binding and on these expensive carts (which the digital versions aren't including in their price)

I prefer my games physical so this wouldn't work for me but for those that are fully on board with digital then this is fantastic!



1-2 Switch here is 32e
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fire-Emblem-Warriors-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B01MR5AY1R/ref=sr_1_2?crid=37URQ2SMRSUEP&keywords=fire%2Bemblem%2Bwarriors&qid=1558036672&s=gateway&sprefix=fire%2Bemb%2Caps%2C139&sr=8-2&th=1
£25 sterling there for Fire Emblem

I picked up dragon quest builders months ago for wayyyy less than 50, closer to 15e here but yeah not going through the rest of these, that list for that price is trash.

Also if you notice on the list, that's $50 for Bayonetta 2 digital, that's not the pair of games since they're sold separately digitally, and aye again I bought the physical game with both titles for way less than 50 when it launched.

This deal is asking people to jump through hoops to pay more for games... it's really poor imo.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

will use this to get fire emblem and ultimate alliance Edit: this is a great deal for me as physical games where I live are usually over $70(i paid $72 for skyward sword brand new)  and shipping through Amazon with the cost of shipping will bring the cost to a similar range Digital has definitely helped me especially as there's no sales tax where I live
