Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers offer won’t count for Switch 2 games, Nintendo says

Nintendo has stated that its Switch Game Vouchers promotion won’t count when it comes to Switch 2 games.

Nintendo started the Game Vouchers programme in May 2019, allowing players to buy a pair of Switch games at a cheaper combined price.

Players buy a pair of two vouchers for $100 / £84, and can then redeem them for almost any full-price first-party Switch game released over the course of the console’s life, including pre-orders of upcoming titles such as Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition.

Because most first-party Switch games cost $60 / £50 (with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom costing $70 / £60), players can usually save around $20 / £16 by purchasing Game Vouchers instead of buying the games directly.

However, Nintendo has now updated its Switch Game Vouchers page to make it clear that when Switch 2 games start releasing, they won’t be part of the Game Vouchers deal.

“Please note that Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers cannot be redeemed for Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive games,” a message on the page reads.

The Game Vouchers deal lets players buy two first-party Switch games at a discounted price.

It’s not entirely clear whether this decision has been made because Switch 2 games will be more expensive, because Nintendo doesn’t see the need to incentivise Switch 2 software sales during its launch *******, or for some other reason.

Nintendo also announced today that as of next month players will no longer be able to earn Gold Points on game purchases made through the Nintendo eShop as part of its My Nintendo programme.

It should be noted, then, that while the Switch Game Vouchers programme will not be eligible for Switch 2 games, there appear to be no plans to end the current service for Switch games.
