QubicGames is having a 19th Anniversary sale.

...
You will be eligible to purchase over 50 of their games for .49 each.
 

Finally looked last night and of course the one or two games I would buy... just down to like $4.49 each.  Oh well.

Also noticed all those free games in december they had set themselves as subscribed channels on the news app.  Had to go through and remove them all since they each had the same announcement about this 19th anniversary sale... which made the news section extra crazy.

I welcome the return of Game Vouchers. I remember stacking with some eShop credit deals.

Same.  Getting $100 for $80 from Costco (or even the normal $100 for $90) saves you some coin on digital Switch titles.  Glad that they'll have this in place before Zelda comes out.

Goodnight Knight looked pretty good for $0.49. So I picked it up, and I’ll give my impressions in two years when I remember to play it.

The Borderlands Legendary Collection is $9.99 on the Switch.  Includes the Game of the Year edition of Borderlands, Borderlands 2 (with DLC except for the Lilith DLC,) and the Borderlands: Pre-Sequel.  

 

I have this on so many platforms, but grabbed it again on the Switch... because... um.. I had credit on the Nintendo store?

You can never have enough of the same game across multiple platforms as you never know which platform you might play it on ;-)

By then I'll probably have it free from their 20th anniversary sale... or holiday giveaway... or middle of the year giveaway... or ... something else... so I'll be looking forward to that feedback.

I picked up Chex Quest HD. I actually played it on my 133 back in the day after I got it out of the cereal box. I don’t even like Chex, I just wanted the game

"Two years" is the CAG equivalent of The Money Pit's "two weeks".

Vouchers are up on the eShop. You can hold 8 at a time, they expire 12 months after purchase, and the full list of eligible games is on the voucher purchase page. Works on preorders too, but some games like the new Zelda aren't up for preorder on the eShop yet

Here's the link for the voucher purchase site.

What is their problem with Famicom Detective Club? It has literally never gone on sale since it came out, so I was hoping to use a voucher for it. But it's not one of the eligible games despite being Nintendo-published

Did they say anywhere how long the vouchers will be up for sale? I’ll probably buy one pair of vouchers but I don’t know what games I would prefer digital, so I would like to keep it as long as possible in case anything gets announced where a digital copy makes more sense for me.

Perfect time for vouchers. Zelda and Pikmin 4 will likely be my last two big Switch pre-orders (I'm not convinced that we'll see Metroid Prime 4 on this hardware). I just hope Pikmin 4 is ready to go before the voucher expires.

So basically 10% off two Switch games, digital only.  Pretty easy to find that near launch and you can get them for $40~ish at GameFly a few months later.  Physical to boot.

These vouches are just kinda meh.  And I wouldn't bank on them getting the hot commodity titles right away.

The real deal is getting discounted digital currency to buy the vouchers with. Costco recently had $100 for $80 for example. Getting two new release Nintendo games digitally for $40 each is a great deal.

This is especially true for games you know you will never want to trade in or sell.

What's the best deal to take advantage of this voucher thing?

Specifically if you don't have eshop currency, and don't have and don't want NSO

I know

I'm asking how to optimally mitigate this

Can you do a 7 day free trial or something as a work around

The NSO service has no value to me personally

Doubt it, they don’t even let you buy the icons with silver coins on the free trial.

Yes.  You should be able to do the trial to purchase the vouchers.  Not sure about redeeming them if you don't have NSO, but I've read that people say the trial works for buying the vouchers.

I was shocked when I couldn’t get the expansion pack icons without having the expansion pack. How petty! Haha

You seem to really want those vouchers so apparently it does have some value for you 😉

Either buy a month of NSO or hop on a friend's family plan long enough to buy them
