I was a latecomer to the Switch. Those vouchers never seemed like a good deal. I feel like they’re a trap for newcomers and a way to make sure first-party games stay at the top of the most-sold list.
When I saw the voucher offer for the first time, I thought to myself: “I’ll do that when I want to buy some Nintendo games like Mario Kart or Metroid.”
Nope.
Not once.
In my region most of the games on the list are 49.99 so a 99.99 voucher for two isn’t worth it. I could save a little if I bought the newest games on the list, but they are cheaper in the brick-and-mortar shops but a couple Euros.
Yeah it’s really selective. I believe it was only a good deal for the big games like the two Zelda’s and Mario games. Or really just two major Nintendo games within the selection. But really, Nintendo games never really have a great sale. At least I don’t remember any Nintendo game going on sale until after the game vouchers were introduced, so I think this might have opened the doors for them.

I bought these a couple of times and for me it was worth it. Saved about 20%-30% but it depends on what games you used them on.
