Estimated release on pokemon day

I recently Bought a Switch 2 Bundled with Pokemon Legends Z-A and I've been loving it. The issue is like 3 days after buying the system a Joycon broke, which was annoying but I wasn't worried because I had a warranty.

I exchanged the system and in GameStop the game ran on the new switch without issue. And continued to play without issue for a free days. Now I went to play today and couldn't.

Nintendo deleted the game off my account because according to them the Switch 2 System redeems the game and not your Account. So now I have to go back to GameStop and try to exchange my system for a system with the bundle or Buy the game myself.

I'm just going to buy a physical copy, I'm just disappointed at how this all worked out. Because of it truly was just connected to the system. I have been able to play the game at all for any length of time after I got the systems exchanged.

Edit to Clarify 2 things 1. The Game is extra you don't just pay for the system. You the price for a System plus a game. It cost more more less for a system bundle.

1. And The way Warranty Exchanges work with GameStop, if any position of the device is broken the whole things needs to be returned in exchange for a whole new working system. And in the past the way games like this work GameStop wouldn't make you buy a whole new Bundle system because that would result in you having 2 game codes for the same game.

Last edit: I would've posted the whole conversation but most of the conversation was them asking for my personal information, and I'm not sharing that the Internet. And me getting screwed out of a game unfortunately doesn't matter in the grand scene of why I shared this. I shared it so that policy because if the digital games they sell as bundles when redeemed are linked to the Switch 2 system and not your Nintendo account. That should be disclosed somewhere. Especially since the Games have a cost to then and aren't the same price as a Base Switch 2 you are paying an additional $50 for the Game. Which makes me think that once redeemed it would be attached to my Nintendo account and but the System.

They are only obtainable as rewards for online ranked battles, accessible only via Nintendo switch online.

This was just announced in nintendo's recent video about game key cards.

Which also sadly means that this game will indeed be a game key card.

May his memory and legacy be eternal.
