Good games have been released continuously on Nintendo Switch in recent years. I want to play every one of them but my budget is limited. How can I get a bargain? Here are 3 tips to help you reduce the pressure on your wallet when buying Switch games.
[Purchase second-hand films from netizens and merchants]
The most common channel is second-hand game films. You can find games sold by netizens at reduced prices on auction websites or forums such as PTT and Bahamut. According to past experience, every few days after a new game is released, some players will start selling second-hand games because they don’t like it or have quickly finished the game. At this time, it will be the first wave of lower-than-official prices. It is recommended that players can To take advantage of.
However, it should also be noted that not all second-hand games will become cheaper and cheaper over time. Second-hand Switch games retain their value compared to other platforms, and popular works always maintain a certain amount. Some games may even lose the value of physical copies due to the manufacturer discontinuing production. Prices are skyrocketing.
[Switch exchange rates between zones, grab special offers]
If you want to grab a bargain, you can’t miss the special price of digital version of the game in Nintendo’s online eShop mall. Sometimes it can reach more than 50% off, which is quite affordable. Since the promotions in each country are not necessarily the same, players can use the well-known App “Game Box” to instantly check the promotions in each region. By entering the Nintendo Accounts webpage, switching the country of the account, they can enter the eShop mall in different regions to purchase games. .
In addition, since the currency exchange rates of various countries fluctuate differently, the exchange rate can also be used as a reference. For example, the Japanese currency is relatively cost-effective recently. Compared with using Taiwan’s eShop to purchase games, traveling to Japan can actually save a lot of money.
【Purchase official exchange coupon】
If you want to play a first-party game released by Nintendo, it is recommended that you refer to the “Nintendo Game Redemption Coupon”. Official sales will be available for a limited time from time to time. Currently, eShop malls in Taiwan and Hong Kong are open until January 7 next year. Each set will have 2 redemption coupons, which can be used to redeem two designated Switch games. Each set is priced at HKD 649 (approximately 2,689 yuan).
The designated games are mainly Nintendo’s first-party works, such as “Super Mario Bros. Marvel”, “Super Mario RPG”, “Kirby Wii Deluxe Edition”, “Pokémon Vermilion/Purple”, etc. The general price is HK$429 (approximately NT$1,777). If you buy two works priced at HK$429, you can save HK$209 (approximately NT$866). If you choose the most expensive one of HK$569 (approximately NT$2,357), “Xenoblade Chronicles 2” “Paired with “The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom” priced at 499 Hong Kong dollars (approximately 2,067 yuan), you can save up to 419 Hong Kong dollars (approximately 1,736 yuan).
