Nintendo started a massive promotional campaign in its digital store with discounts reaching 80% on titles for Switch and Switch 2. The action coincides with Semana Dourada, a national holiday in Japão that offers time off to consumers. The offer period began on April 28th and continues until May 11th, covering everything from established classics to recent releases optimized for the new hardware. The strategy seeks to attract players interested in expanding their digital libraries during rest days and boost the adoption of Switch 2 in the global market.
Consumers access the offer showcase directly through the console’s main menu or through the official Nintendo website. Digital distribution overcomes problems of lack of stock in physical retail chains, offering immediate access to titles after purchase. The initiative also facilitates the transition between hardware generations, allowing owners of the original Switch to purchase versions optimized for the new equipment at reduced prices.
Franquias Mario dominate the showcase with 30% discounts
Nintendo’s classic characters occupy a prominent position in the online store during the promotion.

The title offers board dynamics and quick competitions for up to four players, with an optimized version also available for Switch 2 with the same percentage discount. Super Mario Maker 2 follows the same pricing policy, reducing from 6,578 yen to 4,604 yen, providing tools for building and sharing platform scenarios on the internet.

O produto utiliza mecânicas inspiradas em apresentações teatrais e oferece dezenas de horas de gameplay variado.

Consumidores do Brasil precisam calcular as taxas do imposto sobre operações financeiras antes de finalizar a compra.

Retrocompatibilidade accelerates transition to Switch 2
The presence of editions programmed specifically for Switch 2 demonstrates Nintendo’s focus on platform transition. Vários promotional products feature files optimized for the new equipment, taking advantage of advanced processing capacity to display complex textures and realistic lighting. Loading times are considerably reduced compared to the previous generation, and the virtual store uses visual badges to identify games that run with native improvements.
Backward compatibility technology acts as a decisive factor when purchasing digital media. Owners of recent hardware run previous generation titles at no additional cost, with the operating system recognizing the customer’s profile and automatically releasing data transfer. The unified structure avoids fragmentation of the software library built over the years, ensuring that the consumer acquires the game that works on different devices in the same family.

Zero participates in the event with a 20% discount, delivering battles in three-dimensional arenas with characters from Japanese animation.
