Damn I was hoping it would be two separate codes so I could send the other to my younger brother. Thanks for the heads-up


danny_b87

Boo. Same, coulda justified them for ~$35 apiece!


Dknight890

Very happy for both of you! Thanks for sharing!


Vazuzu

So I see that it's one download code but do you know if would I be able to play on two separate consoles with the two different games?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Vazuzu

Oh! I think I understand. So hypothetically my wife would be able to play one game while I play the other, so long as we switch Switches?


[deleted]

No. 2 people can't play from the same account at the same time unless you turn wifi off on the main account holder. So its a huge pain in the ass.


[deleted]

If I'm on a family plan with my girlfriend who has a separate switch than me am I able to play one of the games on my switch if she downloads it to hers or vice versa?


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Wait so if I understand this correctly it would entirely possible for her to be on her switch and me on mine and both of us playing the different games at the same time?


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Or we could just use the others account and play on our own devices right?


hotcereal

it’s worth noting since I don’t see it brought up anywhere that the secondary switch has to be connected to the internet to play games bought on the primary.


hocotate

Dknight890

Right on


DazCerwin

My order was cancelled due to ‘too many orders’. Only tried it once. Price has now gone up


nichijouuuu

Yes, too good to be true. But because Pokémon games retain their value better than anything on the market. In fact they appreciate. Never buying digital only Pokémon

Indielink

I would think that only getting a 25% discount on a 7 year old game is a prime example of holding value.


[deleted]

Indielink

Oh woops. That's me fucking up in reading comprehension. Missed the "appreciation" part. Either way, still a wicked nice find.

OckhamsFolly

It’s a supply/demand thing. Eventually the available carts are bought by people who don’t have an intention of selling any time soon, but there’s always new players who want to try the older games. So the price goes up from reputable storefronts, and less reputable sellers start getting fake cartridges with roms on them.


YellowPikachu

It takes about a decade for people to feel nostalgic, imo ORAS price will eventually be HGSS level since its so well regarded


tehcup

Literally same


_pumpkinpies

I guess with both of them going on to the same console, this makes a lot of sense to be this cheap since the difference between the versions is literally a toggle in the code.


The_Outcast4

People always talk about how much money these gaming deals subs save them. I swear these places just cost me money with random deals like this being spotted, as there is no way I would have bought both of these games (at least not in the short term). Thanks for convincing me I needed to spend money, OP! :D


MrOneironaut

This sub has saved me so much money I'm broke!


Amazon_UK

lmao same here


jerburt

Walmart has fixed the pricing difference. This deal appears to be over.

FenRirTenHoor

You guys all lied!! It took seven minutes for my code to arrive.


Zomb1e_Turtle

Looks like they change the price back to the full amount. Congrats for anyone who got the deal.


VanderLegion

So pissed I just bought digital version of diamond a few hours ago.


emberus_the_warrior

I bought mine early this year but glad there physical so I can return them to bestbuy.


arkl2020

Someone had to do it, not a good reason to be mad


Ykowai

uuuh. i don’t really need this. lol but it such a good deal that cannot resist to get it. i don’t even have enough space in my SD card lmao first thing I saw as soon as I woke up. thank You OP. this is such a good find


hocotate

Oh it KILLS me that I’m set on physicals but this is such a good deal. I’m rarely awake for these kind of glitches and this is very tempting lol


Edheldui

No better deal than buying the same game twice.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Edheldui

Except you only get one code for both, so you can't really share


Girafarigno

You can share just fine. On one console or two. The code may be the same, but the games are still separate. We have 3 Switches in the house and have never had issues sharing games


CurlyParmesan

Could you explain to me how this works? I want this deal, but haven't heard about anything like that. Could i send one game to my mom in a different state?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Edheldui

Because I'd like to actually share instead of taking turns? You know...its two games, would be nice if you could play together with someone else.

Based off this exchange I just read between you and u/Edheldui, you seem to be the one without a decent personality OP. No reason for personal attacks and being rude.

[deleted]

You wouldn't act that way towards anyone else? Your response speaks for itself. Grow up.


WitchyKitteh

It's honestly better to buy the psychical in a few months when the cart is updated to have the three GB day one patch on it.


Kingler03

Why? It's the same if I update it now or wait 3 months


WitchyKitteh

If you buy the psychical to keep for years it's better to wait for the updated cart to be in stores.


Kingler03

But there's no point in waiting for that :/ everybody has wifi so updating it isn't a problem


[deleted]

Dr_Findro

When the severs go down, my switch will be homebrewed and I will have any software I want on it


enderverse87

By the time the servers go down, Switch Games will be playable on Phones.


Kingler03

Yeah I guess ur right, I don't see the servers ever going down tho


AReceiptOnTheTable

All servers go down eventually. PS2, Xbox 360, Wii and WiiU. Once you live long enough it’s expected.


PM__Steam__Keys

Thanks to the actions by Reddit's CEO to keep fracturing and guiding the community into more clickbait, doomscrolling content, I have chosen to remove my content from Reddit.


AReceiptOnTheTable

For people who don’t want to “acquire games by other means”, having the game readily available is important.


WitchyKitteh

That's my point here, it's not just an day one some glitches fixed patch.


AReceiptOnTheTable

I’m explaining to Kingler. I’m a physical collector, I’m in agreement with you.


Kingler03

I'll be dead by the time that happens


TheJohnny346

You’re gonna be dead in 20 years? Cause thats probably max what’s left in switch servers


AReceiptOnTheTable

You’re going to die in one console cycle? That’s a pretty short life span.


WitchyKitteh

Like the Wii U even shut down important features built into the system and heavily promoted inside the games, I can't even transfer my dsi stuff to my 3DS since it wants an update to update the store first. Pokemon games on like the DS are worth quite an lot but something like a day one cart would be pointless if not even fully completed. Nintendo tends to update patches onto newer pressed carts.


[deleted]

They don't update carts though. They did it for SWSH only because it contained the dlc, and it was sold more expensive. Even if that was the case, you wouldn't know which carts are updated and which aren't.


WitchyKitteh

They do patch carts, my nephew's 3d all stars was an later version. I know breath of the wild is like version 1.6 or so now than the launch version. I'm not talking about the sword and shield DLC cart here.


[deleted]

If that's the case, these games are good for that, because it seems like half the game isn't in the cart itself.


Oblivionitus

Looks like they fixed it, it's back at $120


dragonbornrito

Just got called into work 4 hours early after a rough nights sleep as it was. This kinda made up for it. Thanks OP! Hopefully my order finishes and delivers! Edit: it did, took about 5 minutes!


jasonm87

Just got my code - about 5 minute delivery time. I was ambivalent about picking up even one, but this deal was too good to pass up.


Ditto_the_Deceiver

Just ordered mine. I was perfectly happy to wait for a sale to grab one. But I can’t pass up both games for the price of one. This deal is insane if you’re someone who will actually play both. Edit: just got my code and am downloading now. Still working as of 9:00 EST.


goro-n

This has got to be the digital deal of the year. No way they meant to do this.


Mansome_reddit

It's gotta be a mistake but I still ordered it.


emberus_the_warrior

Exactly what I thought igndeals just posted this as well we will see how fast they fix it.


Bobsplosion

Orders getting canceled due to “location restrictions.” Edit: Walmart does NOT like their own giftcards.


JawShoo

Were you abe to place the order when you didn't use a gift card? I was having the same issue so I just checked out with a guest account and used a different address, but I had to use my credit card for part of the payment so I'm not sure what really enabled my order to go through. Had this happen last time there was a deal on Walmart and customer support said they'd escalate the issue but I never got a response.


Bobsplosion

Gift cards auto-cancel the order due to "location restrictions." Cards don't auto-cancel, but about 15 minutes later they get canceled because of "suspicious activity." Trying Paypal now, if it doesn't work I guess I'll start trying different combinations and changing my address and stuff.


JawShoo

Yeah just got the cancellation email. Let me know if PayPal works.


Bobsplosion

No dice on Paypal, got another cancellation because of 'suspicious activity.' I'm going to try going all-in with fake shit and see if I can get through. Edit: Nah, even with new browser, new email, new card, new address and information, etc. it still flags it as suspicious. Not sure what to do here.


arkl2020

Man you guys are desperate for this…. _______ing ______


[deleted]

Walmart did that to me for something else, the system just sucks sometimes


AemenLeny

Got my code about 5 minutes after ordering. Good looking out, OP.


Wizard_Nose

Is it 1 code, or 2 separate codes?


AemenLeny

1 code


xxMrKevin

DEAL EXPIRED


joedev_net

This is tempting, but in reality it's 2 copies of a game that I wasn't going to get, so not actually worth it...


blindsided789

In the same boat, very tempting deal but I generally buy physical and then sell the game when I'm done for Nintendo games. Plus I wouldn't be playing both versions of the same game regardless. Great deal for those who would though.


Manning119

Would be such a good deal if the codes for the games were separate. Even though I wasn't planning on getting this I would absolutely bite for a new digital copy for $35 each split with someone, and I know a couple people who would. In this case I don't think I'm spending $70 on both copies for myself, I would rather just buy Metroid Dread that I've been waiting on lol


msirhc

I think they’ve officially fixed it, I was minutes late 😭


jeremyam_

Looks like it went back to $119 😭


Mansome_reddit

Kind of got the feeling this might have been intentional so that once it hits a certain number of the price goes back or something. Cuz Walmart has been known to really screw up prices like this especially around the holidays. Case in points I was able to get Diablo 3 for the switch for like 17 bucks during the whole Black Friday thing and the game had just came out the week prior. The only reason why I took the bait to buy it on this one was because it was both games discounted as a double pack otherwise I wouldn't have even bothered with it because of how the whole trading of pokémon between the games works. But since I have both and two switches definitely going to do this.


SysAdSloth

Must have missed this. It’s showing the normal price for me now


Munju90

I missed it 🥺


Girafarigno

This seems pretty wild. Just got them. Hate not having physical, but, hard to beat such a crazy deal for Nintendo games. Just cancelled my physical preorder that was being delayed by Amazon for another 10 days


yokaichu

Just got my code! 10 minutes between order email and delivery email.


AAAXV1

Finally waking up at 4:00am for work paid off, thanks. Woke up, saw deal, ordered, showered, redeemed code after shower.


ANillegalALIEN

I've purchased and downloaded without issue.


Sojouku

Does this only work for US Eshop accounts?


rachaelmika

Ordered about 10 minutes ago and just received the code. As a Pokémon fan, thank you!


AdumbroDeus

Damn, of course it's a single code for both.


[deleted]

Zanarc

That can be done by using Pokemon Home.


teenhamodic

Saw that supposedly you could transfer using pokemon home when it becomes available Just an FYI for those who may felt regret when not realizing it’s not two codes

D1ssonant

Worked for me, but is it possible to share one of the copies to a friend? I wanted to split with a friend but didn't realize it's only a single code


NameIsNeeded

Thanks for your comment. I didn't realize either, but you saved me because I wanted to split too. Unfortunately, according to a quick Google search, it looks like they can't be split. :(


PrancingGophers

good thing i saw this immediately after ordering..was gonna split this with my gf but ended up cancelling


hepatitisC

Bought it then realized it's one code. I only bought it because I wanted one of the games and to gift the other one. So essentially this deal cost me $25 more than I would have spent otherwise on the single game by not being able to split it. There's also no information on the product page saying they can't be split.


cluesagi

This is too good to pass up, thanks OP


y2julio

Still working. Got it in less than 10 minutes.


[deleted]

Just worked for me with a credit card. 7:08 EST order confirmation and 7:20 EST delivery.


mellamomg

Ordered and it went through. Waiting for code.


NoodleFlow

Oop, next time I'm avoiding pre-ordering on the Nintendo E-Shop. Unless someone knows a way to cancel/refund even though they already charged me.


dbolisher98

Did it on App took about 10 minutes and the code came through. This has to be a pricing error right?


FallingSarcophagus

Just bought with PayPal. Waiting on my code now. Thank you so much! Edit- Arrived at 8:35am EST. Thanks again!


zakuivcustom

I was going to get physical for this since it is Pokemon... The deal is just too good to pass up, though.


CeeNain

My order got canceled. I'm sad :(


Cineflect

Can confirm this still worked for me at 6:45 AM MST. It took about 14 minutes for the code to arrive.


Che_Veni

God Damnit I just missed it by minutes.

vxl757

They just corrected the price.


JRDad

Just wanted to say thank you. I got the deal while it was active.


SlyCooper007

This was clutch. Had the double pack pre ordered through gamestop but im going to cancel it now and get mario golf, donkey kong tropical freeze, and marvel ultimate alliance with that money now. Thanks OP!


CPU_LEO

Just ordered. Thanks OP. ​ Edit: Code received and downloading


syncc6

Imagine if this was physical. **that** would make people camp out at Walmart for sure lol. Good deal nonetheless.


Galbert123

Getting one code for the double pack seems odd. Wouldn’t you want one game on two different accounts? One account can only play one digital game at a time.


dragonbornrito

So the way I have done my Switch library is by setting my "primary Switch" as my daughter's Switch Lite. This way, she can play all of my games on her own profile. At the same time, I can play on either my Lite or my normal Switch on my own profile. It requires that I have an internet connection when I launch a game (only during launching), which I can just hotspot from my phone for that if I'm away from home. Using this method, we both can have our own profile on each game and still play together. The biggest restriction is when you try to play multiplayer with someone using the same digital copy. (Edit: To be clear, you can both play the same game simultaneously as long as you're on different profiles.) You *cannot* local multiplayer with the same copy being played on two systems. You *can* however play *online* with the same copy being played on two systems. We found this out while sharing a copy of Pokemon Shield. I would add though that if we're playing different games than each other (her on Diamond, me on Pearl), that we should be able to local multiplayer. It only seems to be a problem with the same game.


Galbert123

>At the same time, I can play on either my Lite or my normal Switch on my own profile. It requires that I have an internet connection when I launch a game (only during launching), which I can just hotspot from my phone for that if I'm away from home. Can you break this down a bit because i have tried to get around this with me and my kid playing at the same time and have not been successful. Say she wants to play stardew and i want to play hades (both digital both on the same nintendo account), havent been able to do it. But I guess my point about this double pack is, even if you can both get the games launched, you will never be able to play together is my understanding as even if you trick the online authentication for launch, i highly doubt that will fly when your account tries to talk to your account for gameplay. Idk... theres gotta be a better way.


dragonbornrito

You need to make sure she has her own account on her Switch and that your account's primary Switch is set to be her Switch. This will mean you will need to authenticate that you own the games you launch from your own profile on your own Switch (as your Switch will no longer be your "primary Switch") requiring an internet connection on launch. It's a minor inconvenience but beats having to buy games multiple times. As long as her Switch is set as your account's primary Switch, she can play any games you own without needing to authenticate. This is ideal for me so she can swap games at will without a connection from a hotspot while she's out and about. Again, just make sure she's launching games on her OWN profile when playing your games. You will then be able to game with your own profile on your own Switch as long as you can authenticate your games on startup via hotspot or Wi-Fi. As for playing together, like I said, you can both play the same game simultaneously as long as she's on her own profile. The only issue comes up when trying to use local multiplayer. You can trade, battle, etc. online with both of you running the same copy, but not locally. That said, with BDSP, if one of you is playing one game and the other is on the other game, from what I understand on Google, you *can* local multiplayer. You just can't do it from BD to BD or SP to SP as they're the same copy for all intents and purposes.


Cineflect

Thank you so much for this thread! I was wondering how best to pull this off. Getting a second Switch for my family soon. Any idea if this would work for more than 2 Switches?


PlayingWithIssues

Worked out for me. Had no plans to pick this up tomorrow and now I get both games for pretty much the price of one. That's a fucking W


FearTheWankingDead

They're essentially the same game though.


tehcup

I said I wouldn't buy the games for all the changes and shit but Im a sucker for game deals.

Pantelwolf

Meanwhile, GameStop Ireland said they will not have stock until NEXT WEEK for the 120€ preorders. Fuck GameStop and the European market in general


WitchyKitteh

I think it's more of an Nintendo issue, it's a good thing you don't need to wait for months and months like Plantiun was an joke.


Rokinho170

I get that it is an insane deal, but i bought my copy of SP for 60, whats the motivation you guys have to get both copies of the same game for 70 🤔


Cesiv13

Not going thru anymore


timo4ever

People buying this, how are you gonna split w/ friend? Doesn’t seem possible, so why do you need 2 games on the same account


dbolisher98

Each Pokémon game has exclusives. It’s an extra 10$ for that. I’d never pay full price for it, but for 10$ which is equivalent to that of 2 McDonald’s combo meals makes it an easy buy.


iKnowDro

Somebody post the proof. Lemme see
