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.

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

@BacklogBlues Man, I wish my local Wal-Marts were like this. Almost all of the ones I've been to sell Nintendo games at full price still.

@Ryu_Niiyama I was wary of them at first, but I've ordered credit from them many times with no issues. It's a good deal. Especially that first order with the $10 promo.

BTW, I can't vouch for them as I haven't used this site (although I also haven't seen anyone complain about them being scammy), but Mass Genie also has some discounted eshop credit.

If anyone wants a physical copy of Earthlock(RPG) for just $9 more than digital their only 2% left at Super Rare Games.

@Ralizah
I just ordered a card from MassGenie- will update when it arrives to verify it’s legit.

If you run across any more deals, please post. I’m always looking to get eshop credit at a discount.

Will have to look into that Raise site too. Usually my default “If all else fails” is Target using Redcard for 5% off. It’s only $5 off per $100, but stacked with gold coins makes it 10% off all digital purchases. Not as good as the 20% from BestBuy GCU, but at least it’s halfways there.

You can use gold points to buy the vouchers right ? Reason i ask, is I got about 20 bucks in gold points and 30 bucks in gamsestop credit. That said I can always buy an eshop card with my game stop credit and only pay 50 for the voucher. Not bad at all, of course that's if I can use gold points to buy the voucher

You can use gold coins to buy them.

I knocked like $15 off the price of mine using coins.

I know some people turn their noses up at the current Nintendo rewards but I am loving all this free money.

@Ryu_Niiyama
The people who spend are the ones saving boatloads of cash.

The people who buy like... a $20 game every 2 months aren’t really saving much of anything. And those are the ones who typically complain about not seeing anything tangible.

It seems like every couple months I’ve got another $20-30 in gold coins

Just picked up the offline Tetris 99 DLC with some of my gold points.
I love the rewards system.
Don't think I've actually ever used real money to buy any DLC. It's great.

I’ve always enjoyed the gold coins thing. I don’t buy many large titles, so I tend to use gold coins to knock down the price on my wish list indies. That voucher thing is really cool for digital. But I’m not there yet 😂
Still rocking my 32Gb card, will probably upgrade this shopping season.

Can we just talk about the fact that Saints Row the Third got to #5 on the US eShop chart? Third party ports continue to sell well.

Also Super Mario Maker 2 is already in the top 30 though that doesn't surprise me honestly.

@IceClimbers And interestingly enough SMM2 would be even higher, but unlike most bundles on the EShop it counts the NOS+SMM2 bundle is counted as it’s own separate piece of software.

The Castlevania Collection (as I was writing this I refreshed the EShop page and the CC went from #23 to #12!) Hopefully it encourages Konami to make a new Castlevania, make a second Castlevania collection or make more than 2-3 games every year.
