Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 and Pokemon Legends Z-A have taken a serious dent out of my savings this October. While I'm busy recuperating my costs, I came across this Nintendo eShop gift card deal, which helps soften the blow the Nintendo online store did to my bank account.
At Newegg, you can grab a combo of two $50 gift cards with a combined cost of $100 for just $88.88, and save 11% in the process. Typically, two $50 cards would set you back $100, so you're essentially getting $11 off any future eShop purchases. With a stacked upcoming line-up of Switch games, including Pokemon Legends Z-A, Kirby Air Riders, and Metroid Prime 4 Beyond on their way, this deal can help me spend less while still catching up with the latest wave of Nintendo games.
What should you buy with your Nintendo Switch eShop gift card?
If you're mulling over what you'd actually buy with your $100 worth of Nintendo eShop gift cards, there have been a fair few new releases that have dropped on the digital storefront in the past couple of months that are worth your cash.
Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 are now available from both the Switch and Switch 2 eShop storefronts for $39.99 each. If you already have the first game as part of owning Super Mario 3D All-Stars, I highly recommend sticking with Super Mario Galaxy 2, as this port marks the first time it's escaped its Nintendo Wii-exclusive prison.
Of course, Pokemon Legends Z-A arrives on both handhelds on October 17, and is available to pre-order straight from the Nintendo eShop for $69.99 (Switch 2) and $59.99 (Switch), respectively. You can already pre-purchase and pre-load it, and upcoming games like Metroid Prime 4 Beyond, onto your handheld, and this gift card combo would let you save $11 off.
Whatever you buy is entirely up to you, and with Pokemon Legends Z-A, Metroid Prime, Kirby Air Riders, and Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment on their way, not to mention the huge library of Nintendo and third-party games on the eShop, you're gonna be spoiled for choice.
