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

I am pretty sure you need to be an NSO member when using the vouchers so you need NSO to use them.

 

Just find some other deal or buy NSO if you want to save $10 on new first party games.

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

It looks like the vouchers apply to any Nintendo-published game $50-60 that is not a bundle (the vouchers also don't work on the Bayonetta 1+2 bundle).

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?  

How does it play on the switch in handheld mode. I read the triggers on the joycons is uncomfortable for playing first person shooters like this for any length of time. I have the handsome collection on PS4 from PS+ and never played it, The bioshock collection is tempting at $9.99 as well just I have it on PS4 as well but I do play my switch a lot lately. Just at these prices it's tempting to get both collections. The Portal companion collection is amazing.

I didn't find it too bad on handheld mode.  Played for 30 minutes to get through a few of the early missions in the first Borderlands and it wasn't bothersome at al.  I've heard people complain about the framerate (because it is only 30FPS,) but it seemed fine for me.

Hopefully better than the Vita version of Borderlands 2 was, cough.

Oh, man... that was a mess.  I tried to forget that as quickly as possible.

I picked up the Borderlands Legendary collection when it was on sale for $20 in the past. Still a great deal for all the content. At the current price it is a no brainer in my opinion.

As far as new releases, Active DBG: Brave's Rage looks good.

If you try it give a mini impressions or such. It looks a bit too rough for me, and I believe was also translated from Chinese.

Hope there's some surprises not just Zelda and Kirby.

Kirby, Zelda, mediocre Mario sports title (baseball), another sport added for Switch Sports, and release date for the next wave of Mario Kart DLC tracks.

I would assume an Advance Wars date also.

$60 for Advance Wars is gross. GBA titles are like $6 on the Wii U.

Nah, distracts from Tears of the Kingdom. No remasters until next console is announced and all development shifts to next gen.

I can't believe they did not bring over the Twilight Princess HD and Windwaker HD remasters to the Switch. We could have held every console Zelda release in our hands.........sigh

We're still missing those CD-i games.

I thought it was a unwritten rule to just not even mention those.

I would probably try them just out of sheer curiosity, though.

I still think Twilight Princess HD, Wind Waker HD, and a port of Xenoblade Chronicles X will come at some point

The absolute earliest anyone should expect a Switch successor is Spring 2024. The 3ds was supported with ports for two years after the Switch came out, and since the Switch has sold like gangbusters, they will presumeably do the same. Those games all fit the "late-life port" mold of games that the 3DS got in 2017 and 2018

But yeah, no point in releasing the Zelda remasters until late holiday 2023 at the very earliest. Wouldn't want to eat into sales of the new Zelda

I just hope they worked more on the graphics because the CO's all look pretty great in Reboot Camp but the actual gameplay with the troops/tanks/etc all looked too generic.  They really needed to throw on a (for lack of a better word) anime filter over top that.

Guessing it will be exempt from the voucher program now.  That's a bummer.
