Nintendo has started a massive promotional campaign on its digital store with reductions of up to 80% on titles for Switch and Switch 2 during Semana Dourada, a national holiday on Japão. The action began on April 28th and continues until May 11th, offering consumers the opportunity to expand their digital libraries at significantly reduced prices. The commercial strategy ranges from franchise classics to recent releases optimized for the new hardware, driving both the adoption of the Switch 2 and the engagement of owners of the original console.
Digital distribution overcomes problems of lack of stock in physical retail chains, allowing customers to access the showcase of offers directly through the hardware’s main menu or through the official Nintendo website. The discount period coincides with days off in the Japanese calendar, a strategy that seeks to maximize players’ leisure time and increase sales during the festive period.

Retrocompatibilidade and transition to Switch 2
