Nintendo da por terminado su programa de vales de descuento para juegos de Switch.

Autor : Elijah Actualizar : Jan 13,2026

Nintendo está descontinuando su programa de vales para juegos de Switch, un beneficio que permite a los miembros de Nintendo Switch Online comprar juegos de Switch de primera generación a un precio con descuento.

En un detallado FAQ publicado hoy, la compañía anunció que los vales serán retirados a partir del 30 de enero de 2026, lo que da a los suscriptores aproximadamente seis meses para realizar cualquier compra final.

Nintendo no ha dado una razón específica para terminar el programa. La decisión sigue a la medida de la compañía de excluir el software de Switch 2 del canje de vales y llega después del lanzamiento de su primer título de $80, Mario Kart World.

Lanzado originalmente en 2019, los vales para juegos de Switch permiten a los miembros comprar dos juegos elegibles de Switch dentro de un año por un precio fijo. En el Reino Unido, ese precio es de £84, haciendo que el costo promedio por juego sea de £42.

Esto típicamente ahorra a los compradores £8 por juego en comparación con el precio minorista estándar de £50. Los ahorros son aún mayores en ciertos títulos con precio de £60, como Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild y The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Aunque los vales no pueden usarse para juegos de Switch 2, los jugadores han descubierto que aún pueden comprar las versiones originales de Switch 1 de títulos que ofrecen actualizaciones de pago a ediciones de Switch 2—como Zelda: Breath of the Wild—proporcionando un camino más económico para poseer las versiones mejoradas.

Por ejemplo, los propietarios de Switch 2 pueden comprar un par de vales y canjearlos por juegos intergeneracionales como Metroid Prime: Beyond o el próximo Pokémon Legends: Z-A, programado para lanzarse en octubre. Z-A tiene un precio de £50 para la versión de Switch 1 y £60 para la Edición de Switch 2. Usar un vale ahorra £8 en la edición de Switch 1; los jugadores luego pueden pagar una tarifa de actualización de £10 para acceder a la Edición de Switch 2.

Como siempre, los vales para juegos de Switch deben canjearse dentro de los 12 meses posteriores a la compra. Nintendo ha declarado que nuevos títulos de Switch continuarán siendo añadidos al catálogo de vales a lo largo de 2026.

Recientemente, el presidente de Nintendo, Shuntaro Furukawa, mencionó que la compañía está explorando ciclos de desarrollo más cortos para algunos proyectos para ayudar a controlar costos y evitar precios de juego excesivamente altos.

Let me know if you'd like recommendations for HDMI cables or how to fix Joy-Con drift!" class="uk-flex uk-flex-middle">As of now, there is no official Nintendo Switch 2 released by Nintendo, so the idea of using an "Official Nintendo Switch 2 HDMI Cable" is not accurate or applicable. The current model available is the Nintendo Switch (2017), and its updated version, the Nintendo Switch OLED Model (2021). However, if you're experiencing issues with your Joy-Cons—such as drifting, unresponsiveness, or poor connection—there are a few helpful tips to keep in mind, and using a proper HDMI cable can help rule out certain display-related issues, but it won't fix Joy-Con hardware problems directly. Here's what you should know: ✅ Use a High-Quality HDMI Cable (Not Necessarily "Official") The Nintendo Switch uses a standard HDMI 2.0 cable, not a proprietary one. While Nintendo does sell an official HDMI cable, it's not required. A high-quality, certified HDMI 2.0 cable (or higher) will work just as well and often at a better price. Avoid cheap or low-quality HDMI cables, as they can cause: Flickering or distorted video No signal (black screen) Audio issues If you're having display problems, test with a known working HDMI cable to rule out video issues. ❌ Joy-Con Drift Is Not Fixed by HDMI Cables Joy-Con drift (where the stick moves on its own) is a hardware issue, typically caused by worn-out analog sticks or dust/contamination inside. Using a different HDMI cable will not fix Joy-Con drift. Solutions for drift include: Calibrating the Joy-Con (Settings > Controllers and Sensors > Calibrate Joy-Con) Cleaning the analog sticks (advanced DIY, risk of damage) Contacting Nintendo Support for repair/replacement (if under warranty or eligible for free repair) 🔍 Tips to Avoid Issues: Use a reliable HDMI cable (e.g., Amazon Basics, Belkin, or other well-reviewed HDMI 2.0 cables).

Boxbound: Android's Infinite Puzzle Game A Conceptual Game Design Proposal 🎮 Title: Boxbound 📱 Platform: Android (with cross-platform potential) 🧩 Genre: Infinite Puzzle / Endless Runner / Hyper-Casual with Depth 🎯 Tagline: One box. Infinite possibilities. 🌟 Overview Boxbound is an addictive, visually mesmerizing puzzle game designed for Android that blends the simplicity of block-based puzzles with the endless momentum of a runner. The player controls a single, colorful box that must navigate a procedurally generated maze of shifting platforms, gravity flips, and abstract obstacles—all while solving spatial puzzles in real time. Unlike traditional puzzle games, Boxbound has no end. The challenge grows infinitely—each level becomes more complex, more unpredictable, and more beautiful. 🎮 Core Gameplay Player Control: Tap to rotate the box (90° increments). Simple, intuitive, tactile input perfect for mobile. Objective: Guide the box through a never-ending sequence of platforms to reach the goal. Dynamic Environment: Platforms shift and reconfigure mid-level. Gravity reverses unexpectedly (e.g., box sticks to ceiling). Mirrors, portals, and reflective surfaces alter movement paths. Puzzle Mechanics: Boxes can stack (up to 3 layers). Color-matching triggers new pathways. Use "echo" mechanics: the box leaves a delayed copy that activates switches. 🔁 Infinite Engine Procedural Generation: Levels are generated using algorithmic design based on player skill and pattern recognition. Ensures no two runs are alike. Adaptive Difficulty: Tracks player precision, prediction accuracy, and reaction time. Gradually introduces new mechanics as the player masters old ones. No "Game Over": Instead of failing, players lose rhythm—a visual and audio cue signals when they’re falling behind. Score = Distance traveled + puzzle creativity points + combo multipliers. 🎨 Visual & Audio Design Art Style: Minimalist, futuristic geometry with surreal lighting. Boxes glow softly; trails leave luminous afterimages. Colors: Color-coded boxes unlock new abilities (e.g., red = explosive, blue = time-warp). Sound Design: Ambient synth music that pulses with the player’s rhythm. Haptic feedback on rotations and goal arrivals. 🏆 Progression & Rewards Daily Challenges: Complete a new puzzle variant (e.g., "Navigate with only 1 rotation per 5 moves"). Leaderboards: Global and friends-based. Leaderboard categories: Longest Streak, Most Creative Moves, Fastest Route. Cosmetic Upgrades: Unlock new box skins, particle effects, and trail colors. Achievements tied to creativity, not just score. 📱 Why It Works on Android Perfect for Short Sessions: 1–3 minute gameplay bursts ideal for commuters, breaks, or downtime. Offline-First Design: No internet needed—perfect for travel or low-connectivity areas. Low System Requirements: Runs smoothly on mid-to-low-end devices. Monetization (Ethical): Optional ad breaks (watch 30s for a boost). One-time purchase to remove ads and unlock premium skins. 🌍 Future Expansion Ideas Multiplayer Mode: Compete in real-time puzzle races across a shared world. VR Mode (Android VR): Step inside the box and solve puzzles from within. AI Puzzle Creator: Let players submit level designs—top ones go viral. 💬 Why Players Will Love It “I just wanted to play for 5 minutes… now it’s 3 a.m., and I’m still stuck in the infinite loop of beauty and logic.” Boxbound isn’t just a game—it’s a meditative journey through endless creativity, built for the pocket-sized genius in every Android user. 📦 Coming Soon to Google Play Download. Rotate. Escape. Repeat. ✨ Boxbound – Where every move is a masterpiece. Lectura
