"Save on two digital games"

Nintendo Switch Vouchers — *Image: Nintendo*

There were a lot of first-party games featured during the latest Direct and if you're wondering how you're going to be able to afford them all, you could perhaps consider making use of the Switch Online voucher program.

In North America and certain other parts of the world, Nintendo has now added some more titles to the program. This voucher, allowing you to pick two games, will cost Switch Online members $99.98 USD / $132.99 CAD (or your regional equivalent). Here are the new games that have been added:

Some other games in this promotion include titles like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Pikmin 4, WarioWare: Move It! and Detective Pikachu. You can check our previous article to see more games available in Nintendo's voucher program. And once again, you'll need to be a Switch Online subscriber to access this deal.

Will you be redeeming any of these upcoming Switch games with vouchers? Comment below.

Glad they added a bunch, but still wish it had Pikman 1+2.

I saw that Another Code: Collection was added and seemed like a bizarre game to be a part of it but cool regardless. Its just one of many games from the direct that had me interested but didn't have me jumping with joy.

Mario Vs Donkey Kong for $50 normally or... also $50 with a voucher?? What a deal. 😝

That said, I'll use a voucher for Peach. I'm sure they'll add another game next year I'll want for the remaining half. Or maybe I'll pick up Another Code; I really like the artstyle of that one

I had considered using my last voucher on SMB Wonder but I think I’d prefer to get that physically. Same with the new Peach game. Maybe I’ll use it for Another Code since I like the artstyle but not sure about the gameplay.

I've got one voucher waiting for another $70 game. Already spent my first one on TotK. Gonna keep waiting.

Hahaha, I like that this is now considered newsworthy because Americans are now getting vouchers. The rest of us who have been enjoying vouchers for years see this as akin to reporting "today is a Friday!". If it's anything like here in Australia all first party titles that are more expensive than a single voucher will be added, and pretty much 90% of (timed/permenant) exclusive third party titles that RRP above the price of a single voucher will be added. It's only surprising if a third party title that has no deals with Nintendo are added.

Surely Paper Mario TTYD and Luigi's Mansion 2 will be added eventually but I guess those are too far off for now. I'll use my remaining one for Mario Wonder then buy a couple more for WarioWare Move It and Mario RPG.

Just waiting on 1080. It's been a year since it was announced. The main reason I got NOS.

@TanukiTrooper Vouchers aren’t new in the US. We had them in 2019, but they were only a limited time offer then. I’m glad they’re back.

I feel $50 too much for these games.

I would pay $29 max for them..

@DioBrando But Pikmin 1 & 2 is only $49.99 anyway. You wouldn’t be saving any money with a voucher.

@Boopero

Except that I used the other voucher on a $70 game.

“Save on two digital games"

@FishyS gets it. They added 3 $50 games, MvDK which really shouldn’t be any more than $30 to begin with, Detective Pikachu and Warioware. Don’t use vouchers on $50 games people if you are looking to “save”.

I used my vouchers on Zelda TotK and Pikmin 4. Even better I bought $50 eShop cards on Newegg for $90, so I saved $40 total.👍

I already have Wonder preordered physical at GameStop and though we do sorta maybe want Peach I can’t find another $60 game that seems like it’s worth it.

Hopefully 1 of the first things they announce after Switch 2 is how backwards compatible it is, and isn’t, with physical and digital Switch media. Might help me decide what to buy, or not buy, after that.

The Gen X New Yorker that I am is worried Nintendo is pushing vouchers now b/c Switch 2 will only be backwards compatible with physical media not digital. Would be awkward but I don’t trust Nintendo to get online right. 😝

Maybe I'm a fool for this, but I'm holding out for Metroid Prime 4. My prediction is that it will be $70, and will launch simultaneously for Switch and the next console. I have until May 2024 to use this voucher, and a lot could be up for preorder in that time.

@rjejr Is it not incorrect that you still save money using vouchers on $50 games? If I were to have a few voucher laying in wait, I should consume them rather than spending the $50 eshop credit plus taxes. Very minimal, but savings still.

@Porky Well if the vouchers cost you $99.98 and you buy two $49.99 games with them -

$49.99 + $49.99 = $99.98

Now if like me you buy your vouchers with eShop credit you buy on sale there is a savings there, but otherwise I don't see any savings, no. Then again if you buy your eShop credit on sale and then just buy the games, not the vouchers, same thing. 🤷‍♂️

Gonna spend my last two vouchers on SM Wonder and SM Rpg. It's great to have more games available in the voucher system, but I see no point in spending a voucher on a $50 game.
