"You can then add that currency to your digital wallet and use it to buy Switch game vouchers which act as free coupons to redeem full-price games. You get a pair for $100 and use them to buy two $60 games. In this case, that's Pokémon Legends: Z-A, out October 16, and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, out December 4. You save $30."
"But you're thinking, "Wait, I have a Switch 2 now. I want the Switch 2 versions of those games." The same deal applies. You just have to pay for the $10 Switch 2 upgrades separately. You end up shelling out $110 instead of $140 (the Switch 2 versions are normally $70). It's still $30 off the combined total but more of a buy one, get one 40 percent off deal."
"The company announced earlier this year that it's killing off game vouchers going forward, but fans still have until January 30, 2026 to purchase them and use them on current Switch games. After that date, Nintendo will stop selling the game vouchers, but you'll have an additional 12 months to redeem any existing ones before they expire. Maybe Nintendo will introduce a revised version of the program for Switch 2 once we've fully transitioned over."
Discounted eShop gift cards from resellers like Newegg can be purchased and added to Nintendo digital wallets. The added funds can buy Switch game vouchers, which redeem full-price digital games. Buying a pair of vouchers for $100 can cover two $60 titles, effectively saving $30 — a buy-one-get-one-50%-off result. The same approach applies to Switch 2 versions, though users must pay separate $10 upgrade fees, yielding a smaller percentage discount. Nintendo will stop selling game vouchers after January 30, 2026, with an additional 12 months to redeem existing vouchers. Digital ownership is required for these savings.
