    I'm not sure it's that. I mean, Amazon etc. had to buy the codes from Nintendo; Ninty could've simply charged more for them.

    Amazon could've sold them cheaper as a loss leader, but I'm not that's worthwhile for anyone, because I doubt the additional traffic is worth the cost.

    It might be to move away from codes in general, because code fraud is a thing and maybe they just don't want to deal with that.

      Perhaps, but that doesn't change the fact that Amazon, ShopTo and many others have actually been undercutting Nintendo on download codes, and doing so consistently.

      I don't think code fraud is that big an issue. Certainly not that big an issue that Nintendo are still selling them elsehwhere, including NUKS. Colour me sceptical.

        Interesting...

        I looked at a the download codes for BotW and its expansion DLC sold by Amazon JP. Both are roughly 10% cheaper than the Nintendo Store, and that's the Japan sales tax. I wonder if there's a connection or that's just the margin Amazon could get if they sold them at full price.

                  Lonely Mountain looks like a bit of cycling fun.
                  Buy Lonely Mountains: Downhill and shop other great Nintendo products online at the official My Nintendo Store Canada.

                    Yep it is good fun. It's on Game Pass and has that 'just one more go' vibe.

                            Because the only thing more amusing that a game called Waifu Uncovered, is when it's developer is called One-Hand-Free-Studios.

                                Anyone know what to do with a faulty Joycon?

                                The SL button (the one you press when holding it sideways) on my red Joycon no longer works.

                                Do Nintendo fix them?
