Nintendo of Europe Is Holding an eShop Gold Point Bonanza!

Good news for Switch players with European accounts, as Nintendo of Europe announces a new Gold Point Bonanza!

Through August 8th, 2022, players using European accounts will earn 10% back in Gold Points on select games, DLC, and services from the Nintendo eShop. These include the following:

• Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
• Animal Crossing: New Horizons
• Mario Party Superstars
• Mario Golf: Super Rush
• Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and both Fighter Passes for the game
• Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighters Pass Vol. 1
• Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighters Pass Vol. 2
• The Nintendo Switch Online 12 Months (Individual or Family)
• Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack 12 Months (Individual + Family) are also eligible.

Surprisingly absent from the list is The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Players traditionally earn 5% back on eligible digital purchases, and 1% on physical purchases, the latter of which can be registered from the game’s options menu on the Switch’s home screen. With 5% per purchase, a purchase valued at $59.99 USD would earn 300 Gold Points. With each Gold Point being equivalent to 1 cent USD, 300 Points could be redeemed for $3.oo USD toward the next eligible purchase.

As a reminder, this 10% bonus is currently only available on purchases made through European accounts.

The Gold Point Bonanza is now on!

Get 10% back in Gold Points on selected games and #NintendoSwitchOnline memberships until 03/08.
