Tokyo, Japan – Nintendo’s latest gaming console, the Switch 2, is a step forward in innovation. However, there is a caveat for users of the current Switch Online game voucher service. Nintendo has clarified that the service is not applicable to Switch 2 exclusives such as Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza. This announcement was made by Nintendo’s Japanese customer support on social media.
Users are reminded that the “2-for-1 Nintendo Catalog Ticket” cannot be used to redeem Switch 2 software. While there is no information about a new or replacement program, users can still enjoy the option of redeeming two regular Switch games. The compatibility of Switch 2 with the original system allows players to access and play existing titles, with the potential for GameShare to facilitate game sharing.
The Switch Game Voucher program has recently expanded to include titles like Super Mario Party Jamboree, Mario & Luigi: Brothership, and Xenoblade Chronicles X. Additionally, Nintendo will offer both free and paid upgrades for select Switch titles in the future. The company has also provided an update on the backwards compatibility of two more games, offering continuous support for users.
For players who have purchased digital vouchers recently or are interested in the Switch 2, the possibility of the same deal being extended to the new console in the future is a point of discussion. Fans are encouraged to share their thoughts and opinions in the comments section.
