As you can see, that’s a lot of games, and most of them are excellent. The best part is that you can buy a voucher now and it’ll last for a year, so you could pick up, say, Pokemon Scarlet today and grab The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom when it launches in August.

The savings are obviously going to vary a bit here, but no matter what you buy, it’ll always be a saving. We recommend you only buy games either $69.95 or above on these vouchers. If you buy a game on the voucher with less you won’t be saving anything potentially.

Conversely, if you bought two of the more expensive games, like Fire Emblem Warriors and Pokken Tournament DX, they’d set you back $179.90. With the vouchers, that’s a saving of $45. Plus you get 675 gold points when you buy a voucher, essentially netting you a cashback of almost $7. That’s pretty good value for money.

The Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers program is only available to active members of Nintendo Switch Online, and you can find them on the Switch eShop under the Nintendo Switch Online tab. Alternatively, you can buy them in your browser, by clicking here.
