PSA: Switch Online members can save on new games, even Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
Planning to pick up Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom on launch day, Sept. 26, or any time after? How’s about a $10 discount?
There are just a few hoops to jump through, but it’s worth it. If you have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription, that unlocks a members-only promotion that lets you save $10 on two full-price digital Switch games. You’ll need to purchase a two-pack of Game Vouchers here for $99.98, which can can be redeemed on two titles within Nintendo’s growing library of more than 80 eligible games — including Echoes of Wisdom.
In case you want the math broken down, new Switch games typically cost $59.99 (or $69.99 in the case of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom), but when you use a Game Voucher, it reduces the cost you’ll pay for each game to $49.99 before tax. As long as you don’t mind pre-paying in advance for two games, it’s a great way to save money on games. And if you really enjoy saving money long-term, you can buy up to four sets of Game Vouchers, letting you reap savings on eight games in total.
There are two disclaimers you should know about with Game Vouchers: You need to remain a Nintendo Switch Online subscribers to use your purchased Game Vouchers (yeah, I know, this kind of stinks), and Game Vouchers expire one year after purchase, so make sure you don’t forget about them.
In case you don’t have Nintendo Switch Online, we’ve included some links below where you can purchase digital entitlements for the service (perfect for gifting). Alternatively, you can sign up directly from your Nintendo Switch, if that’s an option.
