Summary

  • Nintendo eShop gift cards are no longer available through Amazon unless sold by third-party sellers.
  • This comes a few weeks after pre-orders for various Switch games were canceled without explanation.
  • Nintendo still has an Amazon storefront through which Switch games can be bought despite all this.

Amazon and Nintendo appear to be up to something, but as of right now, it's unclear what that something might be. Last month, Amazon canceled pre-orders for several upcoming Switch ga🧸mes, not explaining why and those titles remain unavailable on Amazon. Now,🐠 , you can no longer buy eShop gift cards , although a few remain available via third-party sellers.

Nintendo eShop gift cജards have typically been available through Amazon in various denom꧋inations, starting from $5 and going up to $99 with different Nintendo characters on each of them. The store pages for all of Nintendo's gift cards remain live on Amazon, as do the pages listing them all, however, all of them are "currently unavailable". Much like the pre-order cancelations, there's no clear reason why Amazon would do this.

Another theory is Nintendo is winding down sales of eShop gift cards in preparation for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:its Switch 2 announcement. That doesn'🦩t explain why Amazon canceled pre-orders for u♔pcoming games, though.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Endless Ocean: Luminous, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Luigi's Mansion 2 HD were the three games affected. Pre-orders for the two upcoming games remain unavailable on Amazon, and even though Endless Ocean has since been released, it is simply not available on Amazon. Curiouser and curiouser, although somethi🤪ng like this being shrouded in mystery is hardly out of character for Nintendo. It's also likely that if the re♒asoning is ever explained, it still won't make much sense.

Pre-orders for Thousand-Year Door and Luigi's Mansion 2 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:are still available through ♉other retailers, as are eShop gift cards. Oddꦚs are we may never know what's going on between Nintendo and Amazon, but there's also a chance we find out something more in 🐽June. Nintendo has confirmed a Direct outlining what it has coming our way in the second half of 2024 will be shown in June. It has also finally confirmed a Switch successor is coming, and that it will tell us more about it before the end of the current financial year.
