In August of 2019, Nintendo partnered with Lunchables to release specially-marked Lunchables boxes that would give shoppers a chance to win one of 500 Nintendo Switch Prize Packs. Now one year later, the two companies have teamed up again to give away even more Switch consoles.
From September 1 to December 31, 2020, shoppers can purchase specially-marked Lunchables boxes featuring characters from Nintendo games including Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, Super Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 2, and the Pokemon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass.
Inside each of these boxes is a code that users can redeem on the sweepstakes’ website for a chance to win one of 750 Nintendo Switch Prize Packs. These prize packs include a Nintendo Switch console and a “choice of two download codes for select digital Nintendo Switch content.”
Even if you don’t win one of these prizes, you may still receive 100 My Nintendo Platinum Points that you can add to your My Nintendo account. These points can be redeemed for a variety of Nintendo-themed items, such as printable placemats.
In a press release, Nick Chavez, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Nintendo of America, commented on this promotion:
“By continuing our partnership with LUNCHABLES, we’re hoping to bring the joy of Nintendo characters to even more families across the U.S. LUNCHABLES has always had a special approach to making lunchtime fun for kids and parents, and we’re happy they can enjoy lunch with Nintendo characters by their side.”
