Nintendo Switch gamers in Argentina are in luck as a loophole has been discovered that allows players to redeem gold coins for free games on the eshop. This loophole is due to the plummeting exchange rate in Argentina, making games extremely cheap when converted from pesos to RMB.
This loophole specifically targets those who have purchased game cartridge versions released within the past year, such as popular titles like Kingdom Tears, Hogwarts Legacy, and Pokémon. Additionally, those who have purchased the Switch Lite Macho Man Picking Up Branches bundled with the limited edition but have not yet used it are also eligible for this deal.
By logging into the Switch Argentina eshop with an Argentinian account, players can redeem a significant amount of gold coins and purchase several game masterpieces for free. For example, a game that costs more than 300 RMB in China could be purchased for more than 67,000 pesos in Argentina, resulting in over 1,300 gold coins being given out.
While many games have quickly raised their prices in response to this loophole, some games have not had the chance to adjust their prices. For example, the game Mortal Kombat 11 can be purchased for only 449 pesos, requiring just 900 gold coins for redemption.
Players can take advantage of this loophole by following a simple tutorial on how to redeem gold coins for free games. With the opportunity to acquire popular games like Hades, Stardew Valley, Rayman Legends Definitive Edition, and more, players in Argentina are encouraged to take advantage of this deal before prices potentially rise to a “reasonable level.”
