Last minute as gold coins will no longer be claimable after tomorrow!

Best way to browse is by selecting the Argentinian region via Dekudeals. Link here

If you have any Switch titles that have released in the past 12 months and haven't claimed the gold coins on them, now's the time to maximise their value.

Sign into your Nintendo account from a browser, change your location to Argentina, sign into the Eshop on your switch console and redeem Gold coins from your physical games by inserting, pressing '+' and following the prompts.

For example, Xenoblade Chronicles X will net you ~1150 gold coins in Argentina which equates to ~575,00 pesos. With this you could get Hollow Knight, Stardew Valley, Wizard of Legend and still have enough left over for Nexomon and some shovelware!

There are many other comparatively dirt cheap games on the Argentinian Eshop (use Dekudeals to assist you). Would normally not condone such an exploit, but with gold coins redemption ending, it will soon be unavailable anyway.

Happy hunting!

    just to clairfy you can still use your gold coins, you just cant redeem gold coins from physical switch games anymore

    • Azro on 24/03/2025 - 18:05

      From physical and digital* games

      Yes, but unless you have redeemed physical gold coins in the Argentinian Eshop by tomorrow, you're out of luck for these specific deals

        Pretty sure most banks or jewelers would be happy to exchange your physical gold coins for cash.

  • Roastlamb on 24/03/2025 - 20:44

    So we just change the country to Argentina (on pc): we don't need create an Argentine Nintendo account? Can we pay by PayPal?

      No new argentine acct required, and no, only cc.

      Cant seem to use cc, it must be local cc. It seems like op instruction is to use gold coins for payment.

    SMT V: Vengeance, Endless Ocean Luminous and Xenoblade X are 3 games that I can personally confirm (as at last week) to give well over 1,000 gold points each on the Argentina eShop.

    What you'd want to do is figure out how many gold points you have, divide that by 2, then copy and paste the link for DekuDeals below (replace the 575 as necessary), and then set the store region to Argentina:
    https://www.dekudeals.com/games?filter[price_range][min]=0.01&filter[price_range][max]=575
    This saves you time filtering out games that you can't reach with gold points.

    Personally, I redeemed:

    • Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin for 999,5 peso (now back to 1.999,00)
    • Melty Blood: Type Lumina for 399,99 peso (same price for Standard vs Deluxe Edition, btw)
    • Hollow Knight
      And still have a decent balance of gold points remaining.

    Remember that the gold points won't expire for up to a year after you redeem them, so you can gamble with a wait and see approach on whether the game will get a discount (or you forget about the whole thing) before the points expire.

    I normally buy physical but some are just too good to pass.
    Little Noah: Scion of Paradise Special Edition 659,70
    Alan Wake Remastered 399,99 (don't think there is physical copy for Switch ?)
    Hades 443
    Persona 3 Portable & Persona 4 Golden Bundle 5.899,50 (can't afford to buy physical for over $300)

    From observation, all first party Nintendo game gave over 1000 gold points as well

  • Deco on 25/03/2025 - 00:12

    When changing countries, it says I will have to forfeit my balance, any way around this? I have $45 D:

    Does this mean we also forfeit our gold coins?

    • pj1351 on 25/03/2025 - 00:20

      My preferred option is to create a new account specific for the region anyway.
      You can find the instructions to do that here.

      I've got 3 active accounts:

      • My main Australian account, which I use to play all the games regardless of the accounts.
      • Argentina account, specifically for getting some games this way.
      • US account, for a couple of games that have been Refused Classification in Australia.
      • Deco on 25/03/2025 - 00:24

        Ah thanks! Had a feeling that was the case.

        I have a JP account for games restricted to those regions but was hoping I can keep it together under one account but maybe not.

        Make sure to sign up for UK accounts as well. I created one yesterday and to my surprise, some games that were released back in 2019 was still eligible for gold coins. Most, if not all Australians release are UK issued

        • Deco on 25/03/2025 - 01:04

          Oh that's weird, I wonder why that's the case.. What games worked for your UK account?

          I just realised, you don't get much out of it do you? I imagine the value will be the same as AU store.

            @Deco: Very weird, I suspect it's to do with wrong time stamp on the cartridge. You know sometimes the game would say points are not redeemable yet, even if the game was released years ago? Most time, it's redeeming it under different country.
            What works for me yesterday was Bloodstained - Ritual of the night, Super Mario RPG. Cant remember what else works, but ended up with over £5

            • Deco on 26/03/2025 - 09:55

              @33725: Ended up with only one game working for me so now i have a UK account with 50p haha.

        • pj1351 on 25/03/2025 - 11:47

          Definitely works.

          Not for every game, but enough to be worth going through your library if you have time today.

          Worked even with some 1st party published Nintendo games (e.g. Super Mario RPG).

          EDIT:
          The prices on the UK eShop kind of sucks compared to the AU eShop, so not worth buying from there normally. But for gold points that would otherwise be lost anyway, it's better than nothing.

  • pj1351 on 25/03/2025 - 00:13

    Just want to add, the official deadline for the discontinuation for redeeming gold points here in Australia is 3:30 PM of the 25th.

    I'm not sure exactly when this takes effect with the Argentina eShop, but I think it's a global cut-off time. If you have any physical games with unclaimed points, get it done before 3:30 PM.

  • teatea on 25/03/2025 - 00:43

    Just note that some the games you probably want to purchase on the Argentina store may not be downloadable. Or at least is region locked. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but when I tried to purchase hollow night, I get "Not downloadable"

    • Faro on 25/03/2025 - 09:06

      I've not had this issue with any of the 12 of so games I've redeemed through this method
