If I create a Gold Point Card Plus at Yodobashi Camera, will it make reservations and purchases easier?

>>2

It seems like you’re making some quick cash through resale.

Perform good deeds.

What is needed is virtue.

We don’t even know if it will turn into a contest.

Why not start a game shop?

Violence solves everything.

I don’t know what will happen, but making an effort to increase your chances of buying is not a waste.

Lottery at My Nintendo Store.

It’s the same registration method as the museum.

When it was the time of the Switch, there was a similar pattern every week for Amazon, so I bought it there.

If I can’t make a reservation, I’ll go on the release day.

I ended up being able to buy a Switch by lining up before the store opened.

This time, it seems like everything will be a lottery from the start, so there’s no need to brace ourselves too much.

Well, I think it’s good to have a Yodo card if you are in the urban area.

The rest is a story after it has been announced.

They said they would take measures against resale and prepare ample stock.

You can now stop by the store and buy things whenever you feel like it.

There are too many troubles with resellers and panic uncles with various products.

This time it seems like there are no lotteries anywhere.

There is a fairly good possibility that a credit card is required at that store.

I was able to get the Switch on the release date by reserving it at the video game section of Piago!

I don’t even know what will be launched.

It’s just a guess, but I’m preparing several selling methods, from strict to lenient.

I think I’ll observe which one is effective and does not receive complaints from customers.

It might be good to be included in the Nintendo Switch Online additional pack.

I want to see a future where everyone can buy it and resale shops are doubled!

Since it’s definitely a lottery, I wonder if the conditions for participating in that lottery can be referenced from when it was for the PS5.

At first, it may be a lottery, but when it is included in the year-end lucky bag, the chances of winning the lottery increase.

I’ll wait until the limited edition version comes out.

It’s good for those who can wait, but since our Switch 1 might break at any time, I want a Switch 2 as soon as possible.

I wish I could make a reservation using my Switch balance since I don’t have a credit card.

It seems like Mario Kart will be almost at launch based on the recent announcement.

Thank you for the various information…

I feel relieved that even if I can’t buy it at Yodo, there seems to be other options available.

>>29

It’s still too early to feel reassured just because it’s unknown…

It might be good to buy necessary items at Joshin and keep a shopping history.

Despite having purchased it three years ago, my Switch has never been used and is just continuing to charge. Please recommend some software for it.

I can’t play games for a long time, so I want something I can quickly do.

It’s good when the characters are well-defined and there is a strong storyline.

>>32

If you can’t do it for a long time, then a story-based thing is impossible.

>>32

Since you’re not interested, just sell it off and disappear.

>>32

Ace Attorney Collection or something…

>>32

What you need to do is to quit the bulletin board right now.

Well, even if I can’t buy it on the day, it’s not like I’ll die or anything…

If you apply to about three lottery sites, you might get lucky eventually.

Last time it seemed to be for Plus subscribers only, with either Plus card payment or cash reservation.

If I had to say something, the only thing I can do is to look into the possibility of an online scramble and prepare by creating various accounts and registering my credit card.

It seems that during the last reservation at the Yodobashi store, they were accepting reservations endlessly on the first day, but surely that’s not the case anymore.

Shouldn’t it be better to summarize it as “Prepare for both sides and also get ready for Yodo”?

If you were able to buy it safely, then that’s good enough.

Wasn’t there a pre-order sale at My Nintendo Store during the Switch launch?

It’s probably for resale purposes anyway.

Amazon’s invitation system has become easier to use, so it’s fine to just remember it until an invitation email arrives when you least expect it.

You should be able to know the reservation start date in advance.

You can take a day off to compete for reservations accordingly.

I think the Switch was just relaxed right after its release due to the momentum from the Wii U, so it won’t serve as a reference for the Switch 2.

I can’t foresee the heating up of resellers or Nintendo’s countermeasures at all.

If it hasn’t been used for three months, let alone three years since you bought it, just sell that hardware.

It was not worth buying.

I think it depends on what the list price will be.

I can’t believe it would sell that well if it were expensive.

There are rumors that it’s close to 70,000, so unless someone is a serious gamer, they probably won’t buy it at first.

In Japan, the price of the Switch is considerably cheaper than in other countries, so should we continue that?

I think it will change completely depending on whether we align with global standards.

>>50

For now, I guess we will somewhat adjust it…

If it could be done really cheaply, I think the announcement would have been made much earlier.

I don’t think it would specify a time like “Hey, the 2025 fiscal year has started.”

>>50

The weak yen is just leading to excessive and rampant reselling overseas.

>>71

Right now, transportation costs have risen significantly, so reselling to Europe and the United States isn’t easy.

I was able to reserve the Switch at the nearby Yamada Denki and pick it up on the first day.

Is there a possibility that they are targeting nearby stores?

It seems I will be forced to make a difficult decision.

I don’t feel like I can buy it because it’s such a rural area.

I wonder when it will be released.

I don’t think it will get that high because the initial shipment volume is said to be 2 to 3 times that of the Switch and PS5.

>>56

A strategy to produce in large quantities and lower costs?

I think there’s no way the difficulty won’t be different between the next-generation console after WiiU and the successor to the Switch…

If the rumor that they are prepared to invest 20 million in the first year is true, it would be somewhat reassuring.

I want the official account to send a survey email to account holders asking whether they want to buy or not, and for those who reply with a yes, I want an immediate payment and delivery process.

>>60

What are you going to do with tens of millions of people?

But if Zelda and Splatoon are coming out anyway, I’ll buy them.

When the Switch was released, the My Nintendo Store had just opened.

As a result of postponing it like that, the PS5 has become really expensive!

Since the yen has started to appreciate at this timing, I’m hoping for the 40,000 yen range.

If we’re just talking about the release date, the Switch was at a level that you could purchase it on the same day at a physical store without a reservation.

I wish I could reach that level, but it’s just a dream.

Those who couldn’t predict the high price of the PS5 Pro have no right to guess the price.

>>74

Didn’t they say it would normally exceed 100,000?

>>80

If it were on the bulletin board, it would be 80,000 yen.

>>80

They said it would be around 90,000.

Since it will end up being a lottery anyway.

Shall we go to the shrine and pray?

Well, if it’s going to get cheaper, there’s no need for a strange preamble about how different the dollar-yen exchange rate is now compared to the past.

The Switch Online additional pack is great for those who have been using it for a long time…

Even if the yen strengthens from now on, it won’t make a difference since we’ve already started making it.

It’s totally fine up to about 60,000.

Well, they’re saying things like eliminating gold points and that existing tickets can’t be used in 2…

I understand that you don’t want to carry over debt after April since the gold points will end at the end of March.

There is no note this time saying that a new service is planned when Club Nintendo ends.

Are you going to want something when you don’t know what software will come out?

>>84

By the time you want to know what software will be released, it will be gone.

>>89

>>84

I’ll buy it by the time the new Pokémon game comes out at the latest.

If I can buy it earlier, it makes me feel more at ease.

It was uncertain whether the 5 Pro would even be released in the first place.

>>86

The hacking incident had already exposed it.

The vinegared kelp will be gone, and the soft drinks are increasing in price, huh?

I think the software will mostly be similar to what’s available on the Switch.

>>90

So much?!

I think it’s common to have slight price increases.

I don’t think the hardware will increase by up to double.

>>93

I think there is a good possibility that the price of Switch Online will rise significantly.

The current monthly fee of 200 yen feels like a move that is clearly not profitable as a service.

There is a high possibility that the software price will be around 8,500 yen.

I think Katashike is going to do something for around 14,000 yen for two pieces.

Is it coming out… the cardboard one…?!

When you make a reservation at places like Bic Camera or Yodobashi, you have to buy something in advance to earn some goodwill.

I’ve only been continuing to pray for Nintendo Online.

I’m envious of places that have Bic Camera and Yodobashi.

>>100

There were actually people who ventured into the city to buy the PS5.

Online shopping doesn’t sell more than physical stores.

>>100

We don’t have Bic Camera around here, but we do have Kojima!

>>108

We have a Kojima too, but I wonder if they will sell it at Kojima…

The fact that the main unit sold so well while the number of online members remains flat feels like a complete insight into the weaknesses of the service.

It seems that they are putting a lot of effort into the mass production system this time.

I’ll take it easy while waiting for the new Zelda game to come out.

>>102

Are you ready for the simultaneous release?

>>107

There’s no way it will come out.

>>107

I can definitely say that’s impossible…

I cut it off because there was nothing to do online.

When the new Splatoon comes out, it will be like a den of refugees who can’t buy the old version of Switch 2 again…

There is compatibility and expectations are high, but I have no idea what software will be released, so I can’t understand the situation.

>>105

Isn’t it going to be announced on April 2nd?

There are also talks that this will be the longest direct ever.

Vinegar kelp probably comes out separately as well.

>>109

In the first place, it’s a violation of the Premiums and Advertising Regulations, so it’s impossible to address it afterwards.

>>115

Even if they say they’ll respond later to the talk that another one will be released.

>>115

It’s no good if it becomes advantageous later…

>>125

“Things that become better later on are not good.”

I think it will become a situation where you have to pay 50 yen for compatibility with the DL version.

The PS5 is like that too.

>>137

There are also software upgrades that don’t cost money.

>>144

That’s about whether it could be upgraded when it was released, so I think the ones being sold now will cost around 100 yen.

The first game will definitely come out… The new titles continue to be released on the Switch.

If you’re confident that you can buy the hardware together when the game you want comes out, that’s fine, but if not, you’d want it early.

In the first place, there have been glimpses of a Breath of the Wild remaster for Zelda…

>>111

If it’s a remaster, I guess I can still be patient and wait…

>>111

If I’m going to put it out anyway, I might as well use a different old one…

>>121

The Wind Waker or Twilight Princess.

>>121

Breath of the Wild works with compatibility too.

>>128

Well, the Wii, which was compatible with GC, had a separate series called “Wii Play” that came out…

>>130

Since it’s a story of hope, it doesn’t matter what happened in the past, right?

For now, it’s only going to be possible with the software I want on the second one…

The best thing to do is to apply for the official lottery and pray.

Only if there is an official lottery.

I will embrace the shop clerk…!

>>119

At the time of the Switch, it was just a suspicion, but there was indeed a number extraction at Big.

It’s not that I don’t have friends, but I can’t be tied up all the time, and I want two devices for Pokémon.

It’s not that I don’t have friends, but…

There were cases of entire official Nintendo Switch cardboard boxes being sold off.

There were incidents of numbers being taken out, and in a sense, bringing in store staff could be the strongest countermeasure.

Instead of the main body being at a deficit, it feels like they are trying to somehow manage it through the price increase of the software after the abolition of Gold Points…?

>>131

I don’t think I’ll make a loss.

>>131

I don’t think I’ll ever do the opposite sword, even if I die.

When we suddenly cut prices by 40% without any prior sharing during the 3DS era, we were yelled at by retailers, and as a result, we ended up in the red for several years and saw cumulative sales halved compared to the DS.

>>134

I don’t think there will be arbitrage worldwide, but considering the yen’s depreciation, they might only do it in Japan.

If I don’t do it, it will reach a price where my parents won’t buy it for me.

>>135

So I think they are saying “we are taking risks to produce” first.

There is a risk of being too expensive to sell.

I think it’s crazy for a country that only meets about 20% of the demand to have a reverse spread.

I want to play the original Zelda with the prototype engine of Breath of the Wild…!

Trust in Yodobashi.

I wonder if Xenoblade Chronicles, Pokémon ZA, and Metroid Prime 4 will run at a stable 60fps on Switch 2, with shorter load times for fast travel, and higher LOD values…

>>138

Regardless of the old title, I hope the software being developed around the time they’re starting to physically create the Switch 2 is compatible.

>>138

I might play Monolith and Metopura 4.

On the contrary, it’s better not to have expectations for Pokémon.

I believe in my Nintendo.

It seems that Japan is not doing it because it looks difficult to engage in something similar right now.

I may have thought of a way to increase the number of online registrants.

If I can take a day off on the day reservations start, it should be fine.

The Switch console was at Sofmap in Omiya, but there were only about 10 people ahead of me.

Well, it might be that I wasn’t checking that hard since it was the failed Wii U from the previous generation.

>>145

Thinking normally, this element is too big.

>>157

That said, the Wii was a huge hit before the Wii U, but I didn’t have any trouble with reservations at all.

Most customers probably won’t buy if the software isn’t available.

>>161

The big hits were until 2009, and 2011, the year before the Wii U was released, was seriously lackluster for the Wii.

Looking at the financial reports from that time, the performance was declining rapidly, and the number of software releases was also decreasing.

It was said that the PS5 was being undervalued in Japan because they had to pay 100 yen only in Japan.

>>146

The PS5 took all of Japan’s stock to North America and Europe in the first one to two years…

The shipping volume is in a terrible state.

>>152

Isn’t it about software upgrades?

>>158

Isn’t this about the reason why people say Japan is being underestimated?

>>159

It’s a different story unique to Japan from what you were thinking.

Since it’s the countryside, I think it will be fine if I use my paid leave to line up from the morning.

Let me take paid leave, company…

In the first place, prices themselves are different from those in the main market of North America, so it won’t be priced according to the current rate, right?

Well, the yen is currently appreciating, so by the release date, it seems like 1 dollar will be in the lower 140 yen range.

>>151

Let’s support Trump.

>>151

If the assumed exchange rate is changed to 150 yen and then the dollar-yen goes to 140 yen, the performance will take a hit…

Nintendo can implement measures to prevent reselling even if the rates are different.

The first seems to move in a way that quickly switches to Switch 2, regardless of the third.

Isn’t it possible to prepare the software to some extent?

Demand can vary greatly depending on the price.

I think that once it exceeds 50,000, the demand will suddenly decrease.

In the first place, taking 80% overseas was the same for the Switch.

>>162

When it comes to the PS5, it’s not 80%, but about 95%.

It was bad that the shipment numbers were low despite it being the end of the year.

>>165

That’s why you get called bald for casually writing such lies.

It was said that Japan’s allocation of 16% is low, very low.

By the way, Japan’s market size accounts for 10% of the world, so it was actually favored.

>>168

They only allocated about 5,000 units a week, no matter what.

It was mostly taken to the West.

I even used air transport.

>>173

I don’t care about your opinions.

The allocation of 16% is a figure that has been announced.

>>168

Isn’t the percentage of PS5s in Japan below 10%, which is less than in the UK?

In the case of Nintendo hardware, there is about a 20-30% difference for various reasons.

It seems like the MariCar from a long time ago is selling well, so it doesn’t look like they’ll transition to 2 very soon.

You can buy it from the Nintendo Store.

Setting conditions like being a member for more than a year.

Since it’s become known that Switch PS5 and game hardware can make money, it can’t simply be compared to when the Switch was released.

Well, there’s also the option of just playing the PS4 version without upgrading, so saying “it costs money for compatibility” is an exaggeration.

In the end, this is it.

I’ve used the PS5 upgrade quite a bit, so I want it to be done here as well.

In fact, there was region locking up until the Wii U, so it’s no wonder that reselling didn’t grow.

When the switch was released, the supply was really tight from around the end of Golden Week until Splatoon 2 came out.

I think that taking risks in production means preparing a certain amount of stock to buy some time until increased production can be completed, even if sales exceed expectations.
