There’s no point holding back from using Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers, as they’re not going to work for Switch 2<\/a> titles.<\/p>\n

As of today, Nintendo has officially killed its Gold Points reward scheme for Nintendo Switch; something it alerted fans to last month<\/a>. You can still spend the ones you have on discounts, but you can no longer earn them through game purchases.<\/p>\n

While the company never gave a real explanation for its decision, it\u2019s safe to assume that it\u2019s part of its preparations for the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2<\/a> later this year.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not been the only change though, as Nintendo has added some small print to the rules for its Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers, even going so far as to reupload a dedicated YouTube<\/a> video about them.<\/p>\n

Fans noticed that the official Nintendo of America YouTube channel<\/a> posted an overview trailer for the Switch Game Vouchers over the weekend. This seemed a bit random, considering the vouchers have been a thing for years and Nintendo already had an explainer video for them.<\/p>\n

On closer inspection, it\u2019s obvious why Nintendo\u2019s done this, since both the trailer and the video description include new fine print on how you won\u2019t be able to redeem the vouchers on Nintendo Switch 2 exclusives.<\/p>\n

How do Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers work?<\/h2>\n

As a reminder, the vouchers exist to net you Switch games at a slight discount. For \u00a384, you receive two vouchers, which can be redeemed for two games from a curated list, which includes the likes of The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom<\/a> and, most recently, Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nintendo\u2019s given no explanation for making the vouchers ineligible for Switch 2 games, but its reasoning is crystal clear. With such excitement surrounding the new console, Nintendo isn\u2019t going to want people acquiring its first party games at a discount so soon.<\/p>\n
