Nintendo has confirmed that you won't be able to use Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers to buy Switch 2 exclusives.

Nintendo announces major changes to its rewards system, discontinuing Game Vouchers and Gold Points program for Switch 2.

So far, Nintendo has revealed that the Nintendo Switch 2 will be able to play most games from the previous generation along with Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive games. That includes physical and digital Nintendo Switch 1 games. However, the video game giant explained that some games may not be compatible.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is finally coming out from the shadows, and while we don’t know the price of the console or its games yet, Nintendo has announced that “Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers cannot be redeemed for Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive games,” according to a page on its website confirming titles eligible for the Game Voucher program.

Another family-friendly option that’s on sale for $40 is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (normally $60). It continues to be one of the most popular games on Switch despite launching in 2017, with heaps of unlockables, dozens of courses to master, and a long list of playable characters.

Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa responds to growing concerns over how the Switch 2's starting price will be affected by tariffs.

With fears that the Nintendo Switch 2 is too similar to the Nintendo Switch, one way Nintendo can calm fans is to introduce a new franchise.
