Hello

So yea, I learned that today...
Apparently, Nintendo made this offer on their website
If you own a wii u game ported to Switch, Mario Kart 8 for exemple,
You can redeem a download code for the Switch version for only 5$ (USD)

Personally, I think this offer has come a bit late,
I'm pretty sure you all bought twice your games...

Anyway, the procedure is relatively simple :
If the Wii U version was a download/E-shop version, just link the Wii U Nintendo account to your Switch
Then, the price should appear reduced to 5$USD

If the Wii U version you own is physical,
just enter the serial code of the game in Redeem Code section of Switch Eshop
See? Very simple...

But just in case, if you want a tutorial of how to do it, here's Nintendo's video :

too late for me. I bought mk 8, hyrule warriors, tropical freeze, and captain toad (some discounted), but none were anywhere near $5. I also deliberately kept my accounts separate on the switch, since I wasn't sure what would happen if I was using a hacked wii u and an unhacked switch.

As I said, this new offer comes a bit late :(
Way too late actually :(

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
