Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers: how they work and eligible games

Add as a preferred source on Google

Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers vanished from the eShop in 2019, but they’ve since made a triumphant return. Though they won’t be perfect for everyone, these vouchers are ideal for folks interested in playing multiple Switch games throughout the year and looking to save a few bucks on their purchase. After buying a voucher, you’ll be able to browse an ever-growing selection of digital Switch games — including Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Tears of the Kingdom — and snag them at a discount.

Curious about the Nintendo Switch Game Voucher program? Here’s everything you need to know about the unique program.

How Nintendo Switch Vouchers work

Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers are available for purchase on the official Nintendo website in pairs for a total of $100. However, they are only available to current subscribers of the Nintendo Switch Online service. Once purchased, you can redeem each voucher for a digital game currently available via the catalog. Considering almost every game on that list retails for $60, you could potentially save $20 by purchasing vouchers rather than buying two titles individually.

Once purchased, Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers are redeemable for up to 12 months, so you are free to hold on to one or both until a game that catches your eye enters the catalog. You can hold up to a maximum of eight vouchers per account at any time.

I tried ASUS’ ROG Xbox Ally X20, and the 171-inch screen changes everything
Asus made a handheld gaming bundle that thinks it’s a home theater
ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X20 Bundle with XREAL R1 20th Anniversary Edition

Gaming handhelds are great because they are portable (basically small). But that is also one of its biggest weaknesses. I was reminded of that while trying Asus’ new ROG Xbox Ally X20 bundle at Computex 2026. On its own, the Ally X20 is already a more polished version of the ROG Xbox Ally X. It arrives with nice updates that sound minor on paper but make a device feel more complete in your hands. The real surprise, though, was the bundled ROG XREAL R1 Edition 20 Gaming AR Glasses.

I walked in to try the 20th anniversary edition of ASUS' handheld console, but the massive 171-inch screen trick surprisingly stole the show.

From Handhelds to Monitors, these were the biggest glow-ups at Computex 2026
I walked into Taipei expecting spec bumps and walked away convinced four entire categories had levelled up.
Biggest Glowups at Computex 2026

Every year, Computex promises the next big thing. Sometimes that means another processor with a few extra cores, a laptop that's 200 grams lighter, or a monitor that's somehow even faster than the one before it. But every now and then, a trade show surprises you not with a single product, but with an entire category that suddenly feels new again. That's exactly how Computex 2026 felt to me.

After spending days walking the show floor, trying products, talking to engineers, and inevitably getting lost between booths more times than I'd like to admit, one thing became crystal clear. The biggest stories weren't about incremental upgrades. They were about categories, finally shedding old compromises. Monitors became smarter, handhelds became more mature, creator laptops became more versatile, and ARM processors started looking like genuine powerhouses instead of niche alternatives.

Nintendo just made life harder for Switch 2 scalpers
Playtime history now decides who can buy a Switch 2
Mario Kart World plays on a Nintendo Switch 2 screen.

Nintendo is introducing a new account-history requirement for Switch 2 purchases in Japan to keep consoles away from resellers. The move targets the multi-language Nintendo Switch 2 sold through the official Japanese Nintendo Store, which scalpers have been buying in bulk because it can be bought for less in Japan and resold abroad.

The price difference explains why scalpers are interested. In Japan, the multi-language Switch 2 is considerably cheaper compared to some other markets. That gap gives resellers room to import units and mark them up overseas, especially while official stock remains limited. The Japan-exclusive model, which only supports Japanese text and characters, is not affected by the new rule.
