[Switch] Robonauts Free (Was $5.99) + 9 Other Free Qubic Games Coming from December 16 @ Nintendo eShop

3660

Greetings everyone, Nintendo/Qubic are running a promotion whereby you can redeem Robonauts for free with the purchase of any Qubic game.

They currently offer a Coloring Book for free which can be used as this purchase which is awesome. So to get the free game, following the instructions below:

  1. Go to the Coloring Book page and install the free download.
  2. Go to the Robonauts page and press "Proceed to Purchase".
  3. In the checkout, the price should drop to $0.00 and you can install the full version for free.

Robonauts is now not free anymore, however is on sale for $1.49. If you have not downloaded Robonauts prior to 16/12, you will need to purchase it to be eligible for Geki Yaba Runner Anniversary Edition for free.


Qubic are also offering this for 10 titles in 10 days starting December 16 :)

Dates are Australian below, seems to maybe 12:01am to 11:59pm each day, might be AEDT:

December 16: Geki Yaba Runner Anniversary Edition
December 17: Puzzle Book
December 18: One Strike
December 19: Wreckin Ball Adventure
December 20: Koloro
December 21: #RaceDieRun
December 22: Rekt
December 23: Mana Spark
December 24: Space Pioneer


Just think of it as a chain reaction. You need to keep up and download each game for free on the day it’s available in order to make sure the next day’s game turns into a free download for you.

For example: If you want to get game (4) One Strike as a free download on December 18th, your Nintendo account library will need to have games (1) Robonauts, (2) Geki Yaba Runner and (3) Puzzle Book added to it. If you are missing ANY of those 3 previous games in your library on you won’t see One Strike as a free download on December 18th.


As always, enjoy!

    • Yeah, I got the same issue unfortunately. Started the chain on my Son's account as it is his switch (and linked to the eshop). But looks like the chain is broken now because One Strike is rated MA15+

    • Same here, I've tried changing my sons settings to allow the download and keep the chain going, but not matter what settings I change I cannot get One Strike to download.

    • Same, tried creating a second proper account and adding to the switch hoping it would recognise the other purchases on the switch to keep the chain going. No luck though, showed up as full price.

    • Me too. Damn it!

      How ironic…the game is called one strike. Also, looks like a crap game.

      • I've figured it out guys.

        Set up parent control on the switch and change the restriction to Teens and voila! You can do this directly on the switch or you can download the Nintendo parental control app on ios/android.

        • Unfortunately that didn't work for me - I already had it set to unrestricted and couldn't do it, and changing it to teen did nothing.

          Probably to do with whether it is a teen's or child's account.

          • @djkelly69: Well mine was a child's account. If you had it as unrestricted then by default it will restrict content based on the child's age.

            I changed mine on Android app if that makes any difference. Good luck.

    I know I shouldn't be complaining because it's free but god damn it, all the games so far are utter trash!

    • Even colouring book, has paid dlc to have more things to colour in and more "whiteboards" - the stock is only one whiteboard/save slot!

    Wreckin Ball Adventure is now free.

  • edit: dupe comment

  • +3

    OK, I missed out on 1-strike and Wreckin' Ball was $7.50.

    However, purchased 1-strike for $1.50 (with coins) and I'm back on the gravy traaaain… baby. Worth it just to get to Koloro.

    • I had to do the same when I missed on the puzzle book. Thanks for calling it out here who may have missed any of the titles.

    • lol same but did the coins on puzzle book. ($1.50) Took a gamble as i thought I missed out on the chain reaction, lucky it's works!!

    Looking at the promo art on their site, I think the final Mystery Game is a free preorder for their upcoming game Barbarous:
    https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/barbarous-tavern-of-em…

    Comes out Dec 25th, so pretty good timing getting it on the 24th!

    • Ah damn, I think you're right! I was hoping for Blazing Beaks.

      Edit: What game is the yellow droid in the middle from? (the one wearing the santa's hat) - oh, they are both from Space Pioneer!

      Looks like:
      Space Pioneer, Robonauts, Barbarous, Mana Spark
      Geki Yaba, Space Pioneer, Rekt

      Strange that they would use Space Pioneer in the graphic (twice!) when it's not one of the games…

  • (profanity), I got Geki for free ages ago and bought One Strike for like 40 cents a good while back too, but missed the one in the middle and now can't get the rest of these sure to be trash clutter games that…know what, I'm not actually bummed, carry on.

    To add some details for anyone who forgot like I did…

    • I got Colouring Book and Robonauts free when the deal was first posted.
    • Then forgot everything until today.
    • Wreckin Ball Adventure was full price ($7.50)
    • Bought One Strike (fortunately discounted to $1.49).
    • Wreckin Ball Adventure was still full price.
    • Bought Puzzle Book ($1.49).
    • Wreckin Ball Adventure was still full price.
    • Bought Geki Yaba Runner ($1.50).
    • Wreckin Ball Adventure, which I had open on the purchase confirmation on another tab, instantly became free on page refresh.

    So this confirms what was speculated earlier that you need to have all the prior games to get the current game for free.

    They got $4 out of me (yay discounted gift cards!) but hopefully I won't miss a day again.

    Koloro is free now

  • Thanks - i went through the same process, paid for preceeding ones.. and Koloro is stil $15.00
    One hiccup i had was One Strike - wouldnt show content or allow purchase in e-shop on the childs account (maturity rating i am guessing) - so its downloaded now in primary (my parent account - but wondering if its on a different account - it IS linked all on the same switch, and does show up as "purchased" in child account e-shop.

  • RaceDieRun is now free.

    They really do mark them free on the stroke of midnight (AEST).

    • They also stop the last one being free at the same time. I just had to buy Koloro for $1.49 because I didn't consider timezone.

      It's 12am AEDT (i.e. Sydney/Melb), not AEST (Brisbane).

      • Sorry, I should’ve said Melbourne/Sydney time instead. (Annoying I can’t edit the comment any more)

  • +2

    Got REKT

  • Almost time for the mystery game. Does anyone know where it will be announced?

  • Looking forward to the mystery game!!

  • +2

    Very clever marketing this is. All there games are now dominating the eShop charts!

  • Bloody hell. Missed one and now I'm screwed. Wish OzB had a daily notifications feature.

    • +1

      Oh poo. Should have just subscribed to this thread. That's what I did and everyday there was a kind soul that posted update when the next game was available.

      I missed out on one game early on but luckily it was only $1.50 to buy.

  • +4

    Finally got Mana Spark for FREEEE!

    • SPARK UP BAYBEEE

      • Is this the trial version? Doesnt seem to save even when you've taken a nap?

        • +1

          You're actually playing these games?

  • Mystery game is apparently going to be Space Pioneer.

  • Made it through without dropping a day! If it is Space Pioneer for the last day, it looks like a fun game - kind of a 3D version of Robonauts, perhaps?

  • Shit, i missed the 21st and 22nd Y_Y
