Setup the account and clicked download/purchase on the Nintendo website. The console hasn't been powered on yet.
Are they strict about having the actual software package on the device, or is simply purchasing via the website enough?

I had to power on my sons switch and actually start the download of the colouring book before the robonauts game became free.
So I'm assuming its the same for the other games.
My plan is to power it on every second day.
Today I clicked geki yaba runner, but I wont download it until tomorrow evening, then I'll download the two games and so on.

EDIT: I think I had to plug in the joy cons the first time I turned it on. But it still packed away neatly after.

Puzzle Book (the next free game in the Qubic offer) is available now.

Balls missed Puzzle Book and One Strike is showing up as €4.99.

Same as you.

Puzzle Book was showing up as 99 cent so I bought it with my gold coins. One Strike showed up as free once I did that. Hopefully I have restored the chain of free titles.

Yeah, I was wondering if you were flying back to the US for holidays, and changed your region (But lose any credit on account I think).

One strike will be discounted tomorrow, probably for a euro.
The same way they discounted puzzle book to 1€ today.

Some good games so far

One Strike isnt great tho - will probably delete it once i have all the games

Looking forward to Rekt on the 22nd

I don't think you need to keep the games on your switch to complete the chain once you have owned them once (for free or not)
I don't want the violent ones anyway. So I'll test this idea out this evening for tomorrow's game.

I'm going to be away from the house for a few days next week, but not bringing the console with me, can I still claim the games via the website or does it have to be the console?

You can still claim them through the eshop. That worked for me anyway. Then the games were all queued up when I turned the switch on.

So I grabbed One Strike this morning to keep the chain going. However, this is rated 16. My kids are well under that. They're logins are set up as part of my family and on the Nintendo security app, I have it set so they can only play games up to age 13. I assume therefore, they won't be able to play this one? I plan to delete it when I've completed the chain anyway.

I was playing 18 rated games like NARC in the arcades at the age of 9 and I turned out OK (except for that one time on a plane with a machine gun), so I'd say games rated 16 are fine.

I think most games on Nintendo would be fairly tame unless they are 18 perhaps.

It should prevent them from being able to play it, but no harm to test it under one of their profiles, just to be sure, and for your own peace of mind!

Probably much cheaper online but anyone needing one quick it's a good price

64gb micro sd for €11.99

You could log into the switch and delete the game before it finishes downloading. The chain should still continue fine.
You just need to own the game on the store.

A free game every day for 10 days as long as you downloaded the previous free game. Miss one and the chain breaks (game isn't free).

You can catch up by buying the earlier games (which have deep discounts at the moment).
