To me it makes more sense that they made it $70 because it's the first Nintendo-published game to use the 32gb cards, and they wanted to recoup some of the costs somehow. They probably wanted to keep the digital cost consistent so as to not annoy physical retailers, and that would make sense that they don't care if people use vouchers for the eshop version
You can buy items yes, but not other gift cards with a Costco cash card unless you have a membership, so no go on the eshop cards.
Incorrect about bank. Barring any changes they will continue to support bank for free (because people still need Nintendo online sub and a home sub) they mentionedlast year or so. But yeah it would be better for them if they had kept bank a paid sub but they probably couldn't find a way to make that financially profitable.All the more reason for them to just port that functionality to the Switch. I mean it's literally all there already, from the wireless trading to the IV conversion from gens 1 and 2 to current gen. And as you said, they won't be making money from the games or Bank in a couple months, so they're not likely to keep Bank running for much longer afterwards
They could even enable functionality between Stadium 1 and 2 on the N64 NSO and gens 1 and 2 on the Game Boy NSO. Yeah it's jumping through some hoops, but it's literally the largest media franchise in the world and we're paying a subscription just to store our Pokemon. I think it's fair if they throw us a bone with some fun niche compatibility
Probably won't happen tho
"Barring any changes" is the kicker here. They won't be making any money from Bank anymore and it's on a dead system, so its functionality WILL be taken away at some point. Just a matter of when
How much is needed from earlier games that hasn't been made available (or made obsolete) in current games? The Ability Patch gives a Pokemon its Hidden Ability. Between that and methods to catch HA Pokemon in the wild, the guaranteed HAs from the VC games aren't as important. Move set resets when withdrawing from Home to current games mean any old gen exclusive moves aren't available. Some Mythical Pokemon that Nintendo will distribute again."Barring any changes" is the kicker here. They won't be making any money from Bank anymore and it's on a dead system, so its functionality WILL be taken away at some point. Just a matter of when
Also, they've said the PokeTransfer app will be permanently unobtainable once the eShop goes down, unless you've already downloaded it (you download it through the Bank app). Meaning no one could ever transfer their pre-gen 6 Pokemon, including from the Game Boy Virtual Console games. Yet another reason we need the old Pokemon games on NSO
The vouchers? I think the fine print says you need NSO when the game is releasing since they aren't used until launch.
It does say you need NSO when you purchase and when you redeem
For the GB/GBA games, just Celebi I think. For all games before the Switch, there are still quite a few unobtainable. Hopefully they fix that with the Scarlet/Violet expansion pack
You need NSO at time of pre order and at time of release to actually use the voucher. No idea if what your asking works with trials.
much appreciated
Most of the missing are from Gen V and we'll likely see something like Darkest Black and Brightest White later this year to cover most of them. A Meloetta tie-in event covers one of the missing Mythicals, and distributions of Deoyxs, Diancie and Hoopa similar to the Genesect / Volcanion / Marshadow release we got late last year would cover the others. That just leaves 5, with 3 of them an evolutionary line (Furfrou, Pikipek, Trumbeak, Toucannon and Minior). I'm sure we'll see them in some way.
I believe they expire 12 months from purchase
I had to look it up and I guess Untold Tales is joining the Qubic Games 19th anniversary sale.
Thanks I got Gamedec & What Lies in the Multiverse for free with my gold coins. Both of these were on my wishlist and they look way better than the usual Qubic junk.
I had a Sam's Club membership last year. The local Sam's Club always had a $100 pack of eShop cards (5 x $20) on sale for $89.99.
Thanks! I posted about the QubicGames anniversary sale but didn't even know about the Untold Tales stuff. And you're right, these deals are way too complicated and poorly advertised.
(I already have Golf Club Wasteland but that's a good one too)
Thanks! They also added Metroid Prime, Samba, and Pikmin 4.
Can you share the secret to finding the ‘hidden’ items? I’m trying to see if they added Disgaea 7, Rhapsody and Katamari. Found disgaea 7 & rhapsody via regular search for the PlayStation but want to get them on the Switch.

That doesn’t help. Pikmin 4, Zelda totk, and Metroid prime do not show up that way but they are in the system and orderable.
Now that was the trick I needed.
order and cancel right away. easiest is to order another different game and cancel that one. I used dead space.
Can you explain the ping part? Meaning it will just show as pending but not charge it? And for how long?
They show up for me through that link. Maybe reset your cookies or try another browser. -edit- They come up normally for me in Edge and Chrome but not in Firefox. Could still be cookie related though since I didn't reset anything.
Pending does not count as a charge, meaning you will not be billed for anything pending when your cycle hits. For debit cards though, pending amounts are deducted from your available funds. Target continues pending until the order is fulfilled.
