You might be asking “what’s a game voucher?”, and no one would blame you for that. Last year, Nintendo ran a limited-time offer where Nintendo Switch Online users could buy two game vouchers for $99.99. Each voucher could be redeemed for select digital Nintendo Switch titles, effectively earning you $10 off the game. The original list included a range of first-party Nintendo titles as well as a few select third-party titles, but the vouchers could also be used on some pre-orders.
So people bided their time, and held onto their vouchers until Animal Crossing: New Horizons popped up on the eShop. The voucher does apply to the game, so those that waited can effectively save $10 on a digital copy of New Horizons, which is likely the only deal we’ll see on the title for a good while. Granted, even if you don’t have a voucher, Animal Crossing with its small daily tasks makes for a good digital title in general–you don’t need to mess with switching carts all the time!
