Nintendo has announced the Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers will not be redeemed for Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive games.
"Please note that Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers cannot be redeemed for Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive games," reads a message from Nintendo on the Switch Game Vouchers page (via VideoGamesChronicle).
Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers lets Nintendo Switch Online subscribers buy a voucher for $99.98, which can be used to purchase two Nintendo Switch first-party titles that would come at a higher price when purchased separately.
The vouchers will remain available for Switch 1 games. Here is the list of eligible games.
Nintendo has also announced it is ending the My Nintendo Gold Points Switch eShop rewards program on March 24.

Makes sense since Switch 2 games will probably be 70 bucks.
That would be tragic.
It's going to happen. Now not every Nintendo game will be $70. Shoot, there are Nintendo games that are $50 or under on Switch. But most are $60. Even if the percentage of Nintendo games on Switch 2 for $70 is less than the percentage of $60 Nintendo games on Switch, there will be plenty. To name a few, I'm banking on 3D Mario, Xenoblade, Super Smash Bros., 3D Zelda, Mario Kart, and Pokémon.
Not surprising. It's not like this thing existed for the entirety of Switch's run. In a few years they'll probably re-implement the program for Switch 2 games.
This may mean that Nintendo mayhave a higher price for the same game based on what platform you are buying it for.
Greedy Nintendo at it again! Boycotting them until they stop being a greedy dipshit, you all Nintendo kids need to wake up!
Yikes. They didn't exist for a lot of Switch's run, but that also seems to indicate that some Switch 2 games will be $70. Nintendo doesn't want you paying $99.99 to get a $139.98 value.
