[Price Error, Switch] Seven Nights Ghost - 14 Gold Pts for Owners of Physical Games Released in The Last Year @ eShop Argentina

110

As per description provided by the publisher:

"Peaceful days full of curses" A heartwarming horror game about exploring in a mysterious company housing and living with a ghost for 7 days.
You will be staying in a room inhabited by a ghost, and face a number of small troubles.
The ghost will never take your life. However, she will take your donut and hide the dishes in the room.
You will have to escape from the looming ghost, sometimes be attacked, and sometimes have a heart-to-heart talk with her to get through the 7 days in peace.

A silly little indie horror game, that currently sits at 91% positive of 459 Steam user reviews.
Confirmed working (the game is currently downloading on my Switch) as at the time that I hit "Submit" on this post.

Copying and pasting my recommended process to set up an Argentina eShop account:

1) Create a new Nintendo account (if you don't already have an Argentina account).
2) Put in all the necessary details to create an account, setting your "Country/region of residence" to Argentina.
3) On your Switch, go to System Settings > User > Add User > Create New User, then you should be able to link the accounts.
4) You may have to log into the eShop at least once with the new user profile, just to make sure the new account recognises your Switch as the primary device.
5) Insert a game cart to your Switch, press the + button, scroll down to the My Nintendo Rewards Programme > Earn Gold Points, then choose the new user profile for the points to go to.
6) When you try to buy the game, it should give you the option to use Gold Points to reduce the price. In this case, 14 Gold Points brings it down to $0.00.

Some things to be aware of:

  • Gold Points can only be earned this way on physical game cards. (On digital, it's always against the account that made the purchase.)
  • Gold Points can normally only be earned within a single year after the game's release. (For physical game cards.)
  • The chances are not zero, but if you've neglected to redeem the points of games that are already over a year old, you're probably out of luck.
  • Once they've been earned, the Gold Points will expire on the last day of the month 12 months later.

Here's the page to check if you have expiring Gold Points on your account: https://my.nintendo.com/point/expiration

For context, this game is currently $12.42 on the Australian eShop, which is the same price as the all-time low for the Steam version.

At the time of this post, $6.59 Argentine Peso (requiring 14 gold points on their eShop as the substitute currency) is apparently equivalent to $0.01082 AUD.

    Doesn't people doing this force the prices up in these countries?

  • Feels like a waste of gold points

      Have a browse through the rest of the library in this region sorted by price if you feel it is.

      I got something like 599,00 worth of R$ for registering a game for gold coins (No idea how to even pronounce that or what it evaluates to in Aussie bucks honestly..) and there's a whole bunch of indies or even other stuff at 90% sales in the 200-400,00R$ range.

      I picked up a few other things too with my reminder that I've had wishlisted or looked interesting.

      Not at all. You get hundreds of points for a single game in Argentina store. This is well worth 16 points.
