Though Nintendo has ensured that the Switch 2 will support most of your beloved old Switch games, it’s reassuring to know that your digital currency in the Nintendo eShop remains as reliable as ever. For those looking to boost their virtual wallet at the so-called First National Bank of Miyamoto, Newegg has an enticing deal right now. They’re offering a $5 discount on $50 Nintendo eShop gift cards. This offer can be applied to purchases up to $250, and all you need to do is enter the promo code SSENA327 at checkout to shave that extra $5 off every $50 gift card you snag.
Now, splurging on more games with your new balance is certainly tempting, and who could blame you? Yet, there are savvier ways to make your money go further. For instance, using your gift card balance, you can snag some Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers. These bad boys go for $99.98 and can be swapped for two select first-party Nintendo titles, which usually have a price tag of $59.99 each. With this nifty trick, you end up saving yourself a neat $20—quite a win if you strategize your choices.
If you’re more of a subscription kind of gamer, you can also allocate your newfound funds towards a Nintendo Switch Online or Expansion Pass subscription. This not only ensures your coveted Switch data is safely stowed away in the cloud, but it also unlocks access to an ever-expanding collection of classic gems from platforms like the NES, SNES, N64, Game Boy, and Game Boy Advance. And, let’s not forget, one of the newer perks is the Nintendo Music app, where you can dive into soundtracks from your favorite Nintendo titles.
