Nintendo should be applauded for this

Is this UK only? I can't find any info about it for the 'murricas

Some games I prefer digital. Ones with frequent loading screens, or games that you want to always have with you, I prefer digital. For example, I got Smash digital, and plan to get digital Pokemon. Other games, like Zelda or Xenoblade, I got physical.

I am a poorfag, I frequently pawn shit to eat because living paycheck to paycheck.

Can't pawn digital, so I'll stick to paying $60 and getting a $10 amazon credit.

>NSO costs $20 a year
>vouchers are a $20 savings
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

>Digital only

Into the trash it goes

Physical is objectively superior for the Switch. I don't have to fill up its tiny internal storage with installs, and my games aren't locked to a single piece of hardware.

>living paycheck to paycheck
>buying video games ever
You're retarded. Typical poorfag.

What is this?

>most of the games are multiple years old and should have gotten a price reduction anyway

>start 7 day free trial
>purchase voucher

I think more about if I'm going to be playing it frequently such as online multiplayer games or if I'm going to play through it once and not play it again for a long time.

nintendo.com/games/buy-digital/

I might use the vouchers for Mario Maker and Animal Crossing, as they're games I'm planning to buy digitally. It's $20 saved, so why not

can you buy the mario maker bundle with the sub using a voucher?

this

No.

>spend $20 a year to use service
>buy $100 voucher for 2 games
>spend $120
>buy two $60 games outright

Someone’s getting cucked here.

Video games are why I haven't killed myself.

I'm a huge retard and should have checked the store. Two full priced games for $150 canadian isn't too bad, I guess.

How do I lift myself out of this hell?

>>buy two $60 games outright
>>spend $120
And you don't have online.

I pay like less than five dollars per year because of the family plan.

Faggots only make 1 purchase a year

poorfag

The fuck are these and why should I care?

well shit, thought I could buy a switch and buy the vouchers using the free trial to get smash with fighters pass and mario maker 2 with the subscription

>buying video games EVER regardless of income

I didn’t realize how stupid that shit was until I was 27. Anything more than $20 is a big no for me.

Nintendo only ever has one worthwhile game a year.

28 years old, broke up with GF, couldn't afford my own rent in this city, had to move back in with mum. We're gonna make it brah.

Because then I can sell it when I decide I've had enough fun with a game

Enjoy staying poor if you think pawn shops are remotely a good idea. I bet you got your console from a rent-to-own store too.

Only losers buy multiple new games on release. Have s-

>Switch owner

Carry on, then.

A pair of vouchers that can be use buy any 2 games for the price of $99.99. Technically a reduced price for buying two brand new games

Yet Yea Forumsfags will bitch out a new one every other week

>and my games aren't locked to a single piece of hardware.
Are you retarded? Games are linked to your account, not hardware. It's not the fucking 3DS

Acquire skills so you can get a better job
Or just metaphorically and literally in some cases suck dick

meh, seems like a rip honestly. I can still get digital games for cheap using discounted eshop gift cards, or discounted digital codes from second hand sites

The first thing I thought as well

Attached: evUNEVvkDnChBmRLup5k1bjF.jpg (630x420, 46K)

I buy some games physical and download others, but seriously, buy a microSD.

Sounds like a shittier version of prime and gc. Shame those services don't exist anymore.

I buy eShop cards on sale anyways.
This is literally pointless.

Just do what everyone does in Eastern Europe/South America. Get a cheap PC and pirate the fuck out of everything. Shit, you can get a basic desktop with everything but a GPU from Goodwill or eBay or some shit for around $50. Then throw in an old midrange GPU like a 750ti for another $50.

Do something with what you know. Stop being a crying sack of shit, get off your ass, and DO SOMETHING. Sleep in your car if you have to, but don’t sit there and pity yourself. You are who you choose to be.

i plan on getting TSA cause its a more valued price now. Don't know what else to get.

It's Prime's fault it doesn't exist anymore.

Does Xbone even have 2 exclusives to make use of both vouchers?

Or just got a raspberry pi with retropie and be the ultimate poor fag.

I paid $4 for my online, and so should you you do have friends, right? Don't tell me you actually don't have friends (even online ones) in the year 2019. How fucking pathetic.

can you buy this more than once, i'm guessing no

Sony and microsoft don't need this because their games actually go on sale.

You DO buy at least four new games a year for your console, right?

>you need a 20 dollar online year subscription for this discount

Don't sleep on Astral Chain, FE and MUA3

Why not use the voucher on one of the game bundle that cost 70+?

Gimme the quick run down.

Do you know what a profit is?

This, the vouchers only save 20 dollars assuming you use both and the games are still full price. I hope this doesn't make them remove digital sales all together

Will Astral Chain and MUA3 even be illegible? I thought these were just for first-party Nintendo games. Either way I'm gonna use it for Animal Crossing and Pokémon

>All of these fags complaining about Online costs
>Not having Twitch Prime

Has Nintendo had 4 new Switch games in a single year?

Check the site you mong they're legible.

>Still no free SNES games
When is this paperweight getting jailbroken so I can find a use for it?

Because these are only for digital purchases.

It has random shit like Fitness Boxing eligible. Astral Chain and MUA3 are both eligible

You can buy 2 vouchers for 100 dollars, these can be used to obtain games digitally, not all games will be available through this system. This is also only available for NSO subscription members.

>paying to use emoticons

>check Canadian page
>132.99

Does it have tax on it too? That might end up being more expensive than just buying two games then.

It looks like it's Nintendo published games based on your region.

Is Octopath one of the voucher games?
Might pick that up if I pre-order Astral Chain.

Like a year ago.

Well then, guess I'll use them for Astral Chain and Daemon X Machina

Octopath is there.

I think it's dumb but then again I'm a physicalfag so it has no real value to me personally

Why are people assuming everything coming out in the next year is going to be eligible to redeem with these vouchers? Are we just assuming because Mario Maker is on the list or did they explicitly say ALL future titles would be on the list of redeemable titles?

Any two games published by Nintendo which is normally $60 or less.

I'm using the second one on animal crossing boy

You could spend the $100 and hack your Switch instead and get all the games you could ever want.

maybe if it was 80 dollars. NSO is still pretty bare right now and a 10 dollar discount isn't much.

why should nintendo be applauded for coming up with a pointless gimmick instead of just doing actual sales like the rest of the industry does?

I'm gonna wait for E3 and get the voucher for AC (if it wasn't delayed to 2020) and MM2

>Sushit Striker: The Way of Sushido
>Dragon Quest Builders
>Go Vacation
Are those even $60 games?

It might be fine if you don't buy physical or if you buy completely new games off the store. Personally I wouldn't buy anything on the store that wasn't 20 bucks or less brand new, or I'd wait for the sales. It might be good to use with game+DLC packs, which usually have heftier prices, but I doubt the voucher applies for that.

no no no...

the fact that you can just steal things is always an option, no point in bringing it up every time people talk about getting a good deal on something nigger

Im worried they are timing this voucher thing so that there wont be any good games for a year after mario maker comes out, forcing people to buy old games or have it expired. ill need to know both games release dates before I commit

Nope, $50.

some fags on reddit already bought 6

All of them are 50 dollars for reasons I can't fathom.

Every single game on there except Mario Maker 2 should have been $30 by now.

No, you pay $99 and then can download 2 full-price games. If you get 2 $60 games then you save $20.

Well, there's Astral Chain and FE Three Houses if that's your thing

DQB is 50, same as Bayonetta
The other 2 have have no listed price so they're probably pretty cheap, don't know why they're part of the list at all

>I'm going to leave because I cant offer any arguement
I'm a 30 year old boomer and prefer physical but I'm not a gigantic autistic faggot to the point where I rage at the thought of digital.

I got a physical copy of DQB for 15€ I think.

Don't they have at least six other games releasing after Mario Maker 2 this year? More if you count games they're just publishing.

>I don't have to fill up its tiny internal storage with installs
That's why I have a 512GB SD card
>my games aren't locked to a single piece of hardware.
Neither are mine, because they're tied to my Nintendo account and can be re-downloaded on any Switch if I log into it.

Xbox gives you the game on PC too, not really comparable but they have some value

Really made me realize how many garbage games are on the Switch, touted as "system sellers".

Animal Crossing and Pokémon are coming out this year, girl gamers and normies are going to gobble these vouchers up.

If you make even remotely decent money (and I'm going as low as 30k) then $60 for a game here and there isnt that big of a deal.

I actually got Nintendo Switch Online for free through Twitch Prime, which I got free for Amazon Prime, which pays for itself with all the money I save on free shipping for things I would have been buying anyway.

But anyway, if you were already going to pay for the online service (like to play games online) then it's not actually cutting into your savings.

It's really not that stupid. Most of the games available for the voucher are Nintendo published that rarely go on sale (they did not even list Mario Rabbids, which is the Nintendo funded game that has gone on 50% sales), and most of them are not even in the 60$/euro pricing, so you are just selling a risible price drop on rather old games (that you could get for cheaper prices on second hand physical) to look like a bargain.

I just like having the cartridge. Feels like I actually own the game.

Because it runs much worse.

If you want to use the online for switch then you have to pay the 20 anyways.
If you buy the vouchers you should only use them on $60 games, you would have to be retarded to not realize that.
It's not an amazing deal but it's something.

I tasted mine
Big mistake desu

>been out for about 2.5 years
>SE still can't get rid of their stock and keeps sending it to Amazon
I don't blame them for dropping the price.

Well, judging from the games they have available, theoretically you would want Switch online anyway.

I make 50k a year. Buying a new game once in a while isn’t a big deal. I bought Anno 1800, DMC5, and RE 2 on release. These posters claiming that you’re poor if you don’t pay for several $60 games per year is pure idiocy.

It’s literally nothing with a Nintendo logo slapped on it.

>comparing the amazon price to the nintendo store instead of the sony store
>hasn't been out long enough for nintendo for prices to drop much on amazon by buying second-hand
shitty argument, biased user.

All the games for the voucher are Nintendo published in the region they're applicable for. Mario Rabbids was published by Ubisoft.

Is also came out alot more recently for Switch.

every game looks and runs like shit on the switch too, but dq builders still costs $50 there. what gives?

The Voucher only works for Certain titles, most likely Nintendo Made titles. It's a deal because you save 10 dollars for each game. But because Physical is better, Imma skip this deal (for now). This is a good offer for Mario Maker and Splatooon 2 that heavily depend on multiplayer,

Mario Maker 1 was hot garbage. "Let the community design the game LAWL" and then ride a cart until the end of the level and don't move, or else it's a KAizo level where you don't even use intended mechanics to beat the stage. The fact Switch owners are hyped for Mario Maker 2 unironically shows how desperate they are for anything, ANYTHING to play on your xbox 360 in tablet form. Fuck me.

This reminds me that my GCU membership at Best Buy is almost expired. I'm gonna miss that.

I’ve never seen a fan base more willing to gobble dick than the Nintendo fan base. Steam is a close second, followed by Sony, but god DAMN Nintendo fans love corporate dick.

Game Cube University? Love that shit. I use my Wii to play GC games now.

Don't forget to check your email when it expires. They send you a coupon for 25% off a game.

>why is the greatest game ever made $59.99?

Mario Maker 2 has a story mode with 100+ levels designed by Nintendo, so you can get your money's worth without even playing user created content. But also, a lot of people enjoy those unintended kaizo-style mechanics and there's nothing wrong with that.

DKC2 is not that expensive

What's the point of buying digital? Buy game used for 40 bucks, play it, sell it when you finished it for 40 bucks. Or heck, you can even resell it two years later, it will still be 40 bucks. Playing on Nintendo console is basically free with how games retain their value.

>botw

>greatest anything

hello zoomer child.

Portal didn't even cost that much when it first came out.

Maybe some people don't want to sell their games when they beat them? Not all of us are teenagers and college students scraping by on allowance from mom and dad, and some of us enjoy maintaining a collection of games with no intention of selling them. Digital is just the most convenient method to have those games.

You don't have to sell them if you don't want to. Paying a premium for digital when you can get physical for less is idiotic.

I'm paying a premium for the convenience of not having to keep track of a dozen stupid little cartridges. I bought BotW physical with my Switch on launch day and it has not left the cartridge slot since that day, all my other games are digital and the ability to just swap from game to game as I please without switching around carts is worth it to me.

Captain shill. Hello pothole filler

>premium for the convenience

Then why are digital games cheaper than physical on other platforms 90% of the time? You’re literally saying that it’s ok when Nintendo does it.

but kirby super star ultra was $30 at launch, user.

Then collection addicts should stop complaining about game prices. Stamp collectors don't bitch about stamps prices, they just go with it. Besides, that's a moot point if games keep their prices.
>Buy game for xx bucks
>Value of said-game is still xx bucks even years later because they retain their value
For collector, this is actually the best outcome.

>Digital is just the most convenient method to have those games.
It indeed is. In ISO form, on an emulator. Still playable when the hardware is long dead and the Nintendo servers got shut down.

>Then why are digital games cheaper than physical on other platforms 90% of the time?
They're not, though. PS4 and Xbox One digital games almost never go on sale or get their prices discounted. But why does that even matter? We're talking about physical vs digital on Switch.

Owning physical things makes it an asset.
You can sell/trade with that item.
