Nintendo Switch Vouchers Won't Apply to Switch 2 Games
Nintendo confirms its game voucher program will not extend to titles exclusive to the upcoming Switch 2 console.
- Nintendo's $100 game voucher program, which allows players to purchase two Switch games at a discount, will not be valid for Switch 2-exclusive titles.
- The company updated its FAQ page to clarify that vouchers can only be redeemed for games on the current Nintendo Switch, Switch Lite, and Switch OLED models.
- Speculation suggests this decision may be tied to potential price increases for Switch 2 games, with $70 titles potentially becoming the standard, similar to trends seen with other consoles.
- Nintendo has announced a Nintendo Direct scheduled for April 2, where further details about Switch 2 games and potential pricing changes may be revealed.
- The discontinuation of Gold Points for eShop purchases next month further signals a shift in Nintendo's approach to discounts and incentives for the Switch 2 era.
