I don't think Nintendo Selects will be a thing for Nintendo again.

The Voucher program is basically their modern equivalent to that, and it's smarter because they have a higher profit margin on digital software as is, so basically all they're doing by giving people the voucher program is locking in 2 software sales for $10 off per game, but for them because they are cutting out the retailer anyway (digital only), they make the same profit margin they would as if you bought the games at retail.

Probably still a bit better as they don't have to manufacture/package/ship the game to boot. So basically even though Nintendo is giving you a "discount", they are basically making the same amount of money or slightly more even as if you had gone to the store and bought two physical copies of two Nintendo published games. 

And also of course now with the voucher program, you have to be subscribed to NSO to get it, so that's even more money for Nintendo. 

They can also pick and choose when they want to use the program and end it.

To be fair the upside of the program for the consumer is you can simply pick which two games you want the most, you're not limited to some selection of 3+ year old games. 

On top of that, a handful of times per year they have a 30% off sale on a selection of games. Vouchers & occasional discounts could very well eliminate Nintendo Selects.
