Oni and Galen kick things off by discussing Nights of Azure 2 on Switch, Smash Ultimate’s Labo VR update and the weird amiibo implementation along with it. The gang then covers more details on Super Mario Maker 2 including the bizarre lack of playing with friends online, the Nintendo Switch Online Vouchers for discount digital games, and how Nintendo games in general hold their value. Oni and Galen then go through all the awesome announcements from the Pokemon Press Conference this week, and muse on the potential of Pokemon Home, in particular. By this time, Oni starts to become weak with hunger and all reasoning goes out the window… Check below the break for more details!

A couple of months ago, Nintendo and Twitch teamed up for a new partnership. Those with Twitch Prime subscriptions were eligible for up to 12 months of free Nintendo Switch Online access. However, it was split into two batches – one for three months, and another for nine months.

That nine-month Nintendo Switch Online code can now be requested and redeemed, assuming you took advantage of the offer on the first day. In other words, you should be able to redeem the second part after two months have passed. If you’re a Twitch Prime (or Amazon Prime) member, simply visit this page and click on the “Claim Now” text.

This past week, the Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers offer was announced for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. It allows members to purchase two tickets at a time for $99.99 and redeem them for eligible titles. It’s essentially a way to save a bit of cash on digital games, since you can nab releases such as Super Mario Maker 2 and Fire Emblem: Three Houses for a total of $100 instead of $120.

An official FAQ for Nintendo Switch Vouchers has been published on Nintendo’s website that outlines further information about the offer, confirming that more games will be added to the program among other things. You can read it in full below.

Still wondering whether or not to pick up Mario Tennis Aces? Then you might be interested in the following: a “Special Demo” of Mario Tennis Aces is now available on the Switch eShop. The demo features singles tournament matches; winning matches gives you points, which are tracked on an in-game leaderboard.
