Nintendo.com has included many of the newly announced games in the 2 for $100 voucher. This includes Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, Pikmin 4, Fire Emblem Engage and many other games.

Using this sure beats the $70 price tag on the new Zelda game.

Also to note: these are digital downloads and not the physical version.

Eligible games:

For those with Costco Memberships

Just buy the vouchers, go to the nintendo switch online menu in the eshop, then just press redeem. It'll show you a list you can use the vouchers on, and just use them. Both games you want are on there.
Must be a paid switch online member I believe.

Can't wait for Zelda and my kids love Kirby Dreamland so return would be huge hit

I bought the voucher. Do I have to pre-order Zelda to get that price or can I wait until it actually releases. Normally I would not preorder something but if it's to lock in the price then I guess I'll have to. Besides I really don't see how they could mess up the new Zelda game they've been working on it for a long time.

You have to pre-order and active NSO on day pre-order is redeemed (~week prior to rls date)

Anyone know how frequently they add new games to the list? And if a game's on the list as a pre-order do they generally leave it on once the game is released?

This is so tempting. The only confusing thing is what my second game after Zelda TOTK would be. I already have most of the games in digital or physical form.

Something I'm debating on doing is getting Zelda breath of the wild as digital. I have it as physical, but since it's the kind of game you always keep going back to, I'd like to have it as digital so it's always accessible. It's the same reason I have my splatoons as digital.

Normally the best price you can do on Zelda BOTW digital would be around 30 bucks. Here, since I was going to day one Zelda TOTK anyways, it makes BOTW digital $10. And I'd be able to sell my physical BOTW for $30.

Quick question. Another comment mentioned that you'll have to have active NSO when Zelda releases to be able to play, is that true? My membership is expiring before the games I am choosing with the vouchers are released, will that be a problem? I was assuming that you just needed a membership to BUY the vouchers, but after that, any games you use the vouchers on, or any vouchers you haven't redeemed yet, would both still be available after your NSO membership expires. Is that not correct?

April 1 & 2 Only Spend $50 for $40 (2 ix Max). Buy 2 $50 cards for $80 and redeem 2 games for $100 voucher. Good deal for Zelda: TOTK, Pikmin 4, Advance Wars and few mores. Sadly, i wants physical copy for all the games. Except Indie games or games never have US physical release.

Why the preference for physical? I would love to, just because of the collectibility of the actual cases, but the benefits and savings from digital (especially on Nintendo games) is way too good.

Take this deal for example. $79.99 from Costco, with a possibility of 2-4% off, depending on if you have the Executive membership and/or Costco Credit Card. So that's either $78.39 (2%) or $76.79 (4%).

On top of that, when you purchase the vouchers on Nintendo for $99.98, you pay no tax, and also get $5.00 back as credit in your Nintendo Account. So now you're at potentially $76.79 paid, with $5.02 in credit on your account, so $71.77 for two 1st party games, essentially.

Top top this off, with digital, you can share your licenses with another console, so you and a friend/family member can play at the exact same time on two different consoles using the same license.

To do this with physical, you'd be looking at $259.96 + tax, of course you would still get $13.00 back in Nintendo Rewards, so I guess you can take that off, but it's quite a bit more just to have the cases. Might be some other deals going on for physical copies too, but either way, you'll still probably end up at nearly 3x the cost for the exact same outcome, only with physical cases.

To each his own, but just my thought process.

Anyone know if you can use to buy 2 copies of Zelda for 2 different consoles (both on same Nintendo online membership)? I'm guessing not but hope springs eternal.

Thanks. I bit the bullet and got the Costco GC deal to put towards a couple of these vouchers. Their limit is 3 per account, but if you have two members sharing same membership with different logins that actually doubles up.

These are good points and I was on the fence as I didnt think you could share digital license. Is there a special setup needed for share across other switches?
