Pokemon Sword/Shield

Not too long ago, Nintendo announced the Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers program. If you’re a Nintendo Switch Online subscriber, you can obtain two vouchers for $99.99 that can be used on select titles. Rather than buying a pair of games digitally for a combined total of $120, you can save $20 if you spend your money right.

Pokemon fans will be happy to hear that the vouchers can now be redeemed for Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield. Just remember that they can only be purchased through July 31. Vouchers will then need to be redeemed within 12 months from the purchase date.

Nintendo Switch

A few days ago, a bunch of placeholder listings for Switch were spotted in GameStop’s internal database. The thought was that those were added to prepare for E3 and upcoming announcements as pre-orders will soon be opening. Now we’re seeing something similar from Amazon UK that are actually visible online.

Amazon UK now has about a dozen “dummy” placeholders from Nintendo. There’s even a 3DS listing oddly enough as well as one for a Switch console (which isn’t necessarily indicative of brand new hardware) and a couple of accessories. Ubisoft, Bandai Namco, and Warner Bros. Interactive have Switch placeholders as well.

You can view all of these listings on Amazon UK here. Just keep in mind there’s a chance they could be taken offline.
