About the Nintendo Switch Games
Everything to know before you buy
The Nintendo Switch Games card is a voucher for one Nintendo Switch game: you buy the code on Kadokey, and the game itself is chosen when the code is redeemed. It is the easy way to give a game when you are not sure which one the player already has: they pick it themselves.
Buy your voucher online on Kadokey: choose the country and the value, pay securely, and the code is shown on screen and sent by e-mail as soon as the payment is confirmed. Forward it by e-mail or message: a simple last-minute present for a birthday or Christmas.
Which games can I choose?
The games offered include Nintendo favourites such as Animal Crossing: New Horizons, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario Odyssey, Pokémon Scarlet & Violet and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. You see the games available for your voucher when you redeem it.
Which card should I choose?
Vouchers are sold for a country: France, Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands in euros, the United Kingdom in pounds. Choose the card for the country of the Nintendo Account that will use it.
