Nintendo Switch 2 Buyers Get Free eShop Gift Card Due to Late Deliveries

Fans have been eagerly anticipating the release of Nintendo Switch 2 for quite a while now, given that the first version had been around for about 8 years. Many players were excited to get their hands on a more advanced version of the console’s hardware. However, the wait turned out to be slightly longer than expected for some, particularly those who pre-ordered the Switch 2 from Target. Unfortunately, these customers faced delivery delays, even after the launch date. On a positive note, Target is compensating those affected by the delivery delay with a $50 gift card for the Nintendo eShop as a form of apology.

Not all individuals who received a delay from Target concerning their Nintendo Switch 2 preorder are eligible for the free gift card. The retailer is only offering it to those who reserved a Nintendo Switch 2, had a delivery on June 8th or later, and not before that date since the system launched on June 5th. If your device was delivered on the 6th or the 7th, you won’t be eligible for the free gift card. Eligible customers should see the offer automatically added to their Target Circle account, and they must redeem it by July 31st. You can find more information about this deal in the linked Reddit post below.

Users are advised that the Target Circle offer needs to be redeemed by July 31st, but the eShop currency doesn’t expire. This means you can use it to buy games immediately or save it for later. For those who are currently engrossed in playing “Mario Kart World” or “Cyberpunk 2077”, this news should bring some relief as they can now hold onto the currency for something else they truly wish to purchase.

With this amount, you can buy several games for the new Nintendo Switch 2 using eShop currency. Titles like “Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess”, “Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S”, and “Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster” are included in that budget. Given the high cost of purchasing a new gaming system, this could be an attractive offer for users who were on the fence about getting a launch game. For instance, you could buy “Fast Fusion” (retailing at $14.99) and “Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour” (at $9.99), leaving enough money to pick up “Drag x Drive” when it becomes available in August!

Many Nintendo Switch 2 early buyers who qualify for this offer might prefer to save their $50 eShop credit for upcoming games later in the year. There are several notable titles coming up for the console, like “Donkey Kong Bananza” on July 17th and “Pokemon Legends: Z-A” on October 16th. Moreover, there are also some highly anticipated games slated for release in 2025, such as “Metroid Prime 4: Beyond,” “Kirby Air Riders,” and “Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment,” which currently don’t have specific release dates.

If you’re one of the first owners of the Nintendo Switch 2 who can take advantage of this deal, you might want to keep that $50 credit for later games coming out in 2021 like “Donkey Kong Bananza” and “Pokemon Legends: Z-A.” There are also exciting games planned for 2025, such as “Metroid Prime 4: Beyond,” “Kirby Air Riders,” and “Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment,” but their release dates haven’t been announced yet.
