This promo runs through February 28
In case you’re missing them,there are occasional Nintendo double gold point reward promotionsrunning throughout the year, typically on first-party games.Another one is underway now, and set to run through February 28 at 11:59PM PT.
As a recap: So you’re paying $60 now to get cash back for the same storefront for later. Normally, you’d get 300 gold, which is 5% back, and equates to roughly $3 of real money. But with double, you’d get 10% back, or 600 gold, or $6.You can find the full breakdown here if you need it.
Weirdly, if you have no other options, this is one of the only ways to get discounts on titles thatpractically never go on sale. TakeNew Pokemon Snapfor instance, which is still $60: and is lumped into the “barely, if ever goes on sale” category by nature of being aPokemonjoint.
It’s a smart promo on Nintendo’s part, because these are generally “must have” games, and they can clean up on the people who were on the fence and haven’t gotten them yet. Out of the six on offer this month,Metroid DreadandSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatedefinitely fall under that category of universal appeal.Skyward SwordandPokemon Snapare probably next.
