Since The Game Awards started, numerous platform holders have offered discounts that tie into the show. Nintendo was never a part of the promtion in the past, but that’s apparently changing this year.

The Game Awards creator and host Geoff Keighley mentioned in a live stream on Periscope today that the eShop will be seeing its own discounts “for the first time” – just like the PlayStation Network, Xbox Games Store, Steam, and Origin. We’ll find out which games are eligible in a few days, but the Nintendo-related winners and/or nominees will likely be included.

The Game Awards will be held this Thursday at 9 PM ET / 6 PM PT. That’s Friday at 2 AM in the UK / 3 AM in Europe.

Wii U Virtual Console games come with a special upgrade price for those who originally bought them on Wii. The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, which hit the North American eShop on Thursday, is supposed to be the latest example of this. However, we’re hearing reports that the discounted price simply isn’t showing up.

Readers TruExtent and 1056kirby both reached out to Nintendo’s customer support service to investigate the problem. In both instances, they were told that it’s being worked on. It could take up to a couple of weeks before the discounted price of $2 begins to appear, though.
