Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@toiletduck I mean, even if you bought a normal $20 sub to NSO, you're still getting $5 back via the gold coins in addition to it paying for a full free year. Unless you're a physical only person or aren't interested in Nintendo-published titles, it's a steal.

@linq very odd.

Has anyone downloaded it?

Yeah where the hell is it??? Please don't tell me by noon PDT. That'll be in like four hours!

A lot of games don't appear or unlock until the afternoon of their day of release. It was, like, middle of the day before my Toejam and Earl pre-download finally unlocked.

So, apparently Nintendo doesn't allow you to stockpile more than $200 in credit on your account, and I had some discounted eshop credit I wanted to add to my account, so I ended up buying one of those voucher sets.

I really hope Animal Crossing and Pokemon are compatible now. Or Dragon Quest XI. Although, if I had to, I could cancel my physical preorder of Three Houses and get that alongside Astral Chain.

"oh you're gonna take my money, one way or another!"

Earthlock physical now live at super rare games and only $9 more than digital.

Do the vouchers count against your eshop credit stockpile? I will need to dump some credit so I can close out some wiiu and 3ds purchases before I retire the systems until I move next year. But I want to get 4-6 of those vouchers. They will be useful for day one purchases of Nintendo published games (which take forever to drop in price anyway).

The UK price for 2 vouchers is £84, BOTW and Smash are £59.99 each so that's a potential £36 saving there, plus £6 of free gold coins. I believe these are the only 2 games to cost that much but I'm sure there will be some who take advantage of that deal.

Those vouchers cost $99.99(U.S) but their not worth it as you can get every New Nintendo game physically at Walmart for $49.99 that's 2 cents cheaper and you get the game physically.

@BacklogBlues You get $5 extra in Gold Coins, over the paltry $1 or so from the physical games.

eShop cards can also go on sale at certain retailers and they can go towards vouchers. And digital has its advantages (and disadvantages) over physical.

It's 100% worth it if you buy digital.

Your right @EvilLucario if you only buy digital. But i prefer to sell my beaten games to buy new ones unless i really love the game then i'll keep it. But i do like the choice.

Castlevania Anniversary Collection is finally up!!!

Bloodlines hype!!!

@EvilLucario just nabbed it

Hey guys,
I took the Blaster apart and now it's working as it should. I have no idea what was wrong, didn't change a thing. The rubber band on the trigger looked like it was not sitting in the right place and I just moved it a tiny little bit, put it all back and it is fine. Now I can concentrate on Zelda and my little Grandson will have a blast with that Blaster.

@Ryu_Niiyama The vouchers don't count as credit. They're their own separate thing, and you can redeem them for available games from the eshop whenever.

@BacklogBlues Old Nintendo games, maybe, but new games will launch for $60 at retailers nation-wide.

I snagged $120 worth of eshop credit at Raise for $99. Then I used that discounted credit to buy the set of vouchers. So I've effectively "gained" $40 in value from this process. Even more if you include Gold Coins.

True @Ralizah that launch games will still be $59.99 but Walmart's been pretty quick at lowering their prices usually in a week or two and some even less than 24 hours. I have yet seen them take longer than 4 weeks to lower their price. And Kudos on the $40 gain that's a steal.

Thanks @Ralizah just signed up with Raise and bought me two $50 eshop card both 10% off for a free $20. never heard of them till your post. Now i'm looking at eligible games for the vouchers to see if i want to get it or just save my eshop cash/credit for digital only games that go on sell.

@OldMan64 Hooray!

@Ralizah Thank you and thanks for the name drop for Raise...I'll be using them when I get my eshop cards next week.
