Nintendo announced the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 but confirmed that its Game Voucher program will not be applicable for exclusive Switch 2 games. This raises concerns about potential price increases for first-party titles. The company is also discontinuing the My Nintendo Gold Points program, valid until March 24, which allowed users to earn points for purchases towards future games. Current Gold Points will remain redeemable for 12 months post-issue, indicating strategic changes amidst rising development costs within the gaming industry.
The Nintendo Switch 2 is not extending the Game Voucher program, leaving players unsettled about potential price increases for retail games.
The discontinuation of the My Nintendo Gold Points program on March 24 forces users to redeem their points within a year of issuing them.
Without extending their voucher program to the new console, Nintendo appears to be signaling a shift towards higher retail pricing of first-party games.
The changes to loyalty and redeemable programs by Nintendo suggest a strategic move amidst inflationary pressures in game development costs.
