Nintendo hasn’t specified what “eligible digital games or downloadable content” will look like, so we don’t yet know what this deal applies to and what it doesn’t. However, Nintendo has a number of high-profile releases coming, so there’s a good chance that subscribers can get twice the gold points from purchases on things like Bayonetta 3, Pokemon Sword, And the Pokemon Shield.

This feature is available in the UK as well This promotion Users said they’ll get twice the gold points on all Nintendo eShop purchases instead of just some. But again, if there’s something new that you’re considering buying from the online store, you probably don’t have to worry about it in terms of eligibility.

Although these perks are marketed as limited-time perks, they have been going on for a long time. These won’t expire until January 31st, and hopefully, they’ll be replaced with something after they expire to give Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers additional benefits.
