Nintendohas always done things slightly differently from its main competitors, which are currently Sony and Microsoft. After all, just compare the hardware of theNintendo Switchto the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Even thePlayStation Portal is quite different from the Switch, as shown in our comparison guide.
The Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers are another way the company does things differently from the others. Xbox and PlayStation don’t have their own virtual vouchers besides traditional gift cards, which aren’t exactly the same thing. These vouchers are unique, so here is everything you need to know about them.
What Are Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers?
Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers
This is a set of two digital vouchers that can be used at the Nintendo online store. You can trade them in for a pair of Nintendo Switch games.
Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers work like most vouchers do, except they’re specific to Nintendo. So, you can onlytrade them into Nintendo’s online store in exchange for Switch games.
However, you aren’t just given these vouchers.You have to buy them, which you’re able to only do if you have aNintendo Switch online Membership. If you are a member, you can purchase the vouchers fromNintendo’s online store.
A set of two—you may only buy them in two—costs $100. This may seem expensive, but most of the games eligible to be purchased using a voucher are around $60. So, if you use both vouchers on $60 games, you’re saving $20.
