Ah, I see what you mean.

>>7

I use it for work too…

There must be test models for development, as expected.

If it turns out that 50 hours were not enough or that I wasn’t online, I would be surprised.

>>9

I was playing multiple consoles at the same time for a few hours, so I didn’t have enough… something like that…

>>14

When I checked the time, I could have bought 100 units.

It is possible.

I can’t play with the one at the workplace.

>>17

The knowledge used in games like Smash Bros. is probably something obtained in private.

Well, there are voice actors who receive figures of the characters they played, but there are also those who purchase them for themselves.

If this comes off, it will be interesting!

>>18

Boss: “Make sure to get the person with the account name ‘Sakurai’ elected! Got it!”

Subordinate: “(There are usually a lot of them…)””

A person like this can’t be something you get from a manufacturer, can it?

It’s too late for an April Fool’s joke.

>>22

It’s fine if it’s placed as an examination device, but I wonder if it’s okay to put company items with personal belongings…?

There was a reseller pretending to be Sakurai-san, so I removed them from the lottery! What a foolish person!

I understand that the ones I received and the ones I won myself are quite different.

If this person is in this class, they probably have not just 2 but even 3.

Stop the advanced information warfare.

What you have on hand is a development machine, not the actual device…

>>31

Is it a development machine combined with an aero bike…?

Absolutely not… Completely unrelated to Nintendo like this…

Someone who has been cycling on an air bike for over 50 hours is different.

>>33

It seems to be lacking more than a single digit.

>>33

The playtime on the exercise bike is not counted!?

Stop if you can’t tell if it’s a joke or serious.

If we understand the meaning behind Mr. Sakurai, who is involved, going out of his way to make such a post…

In short, everyone who applied for this lottery sale can buy it, right?

If Sakurai wins, “It’s unfair for the people involved.”

That’s what I’m told.

>>37

That’s too much of an overinterpretation.

I feel like we can’t secure enough numbers unless we narrow it down to these conditions.

Is it necessary to go through a lottery?

Every Nintendo employee should receive one for sure!

Masahiro Sakurai, Company Executive, Tokyo Metropolitan Area

>>48

But I received an Xbox 360 with a nameplate attached a long time ago, along with a photo…

It seems that all Nintendo employees will receive a Switch 2 as their spring bonus this year.

>>49

Isn’t the provision of actual goods prohibited now?

>>55

Well then, it comes with a coupon that reduces the price of Switch 2 by 10,000 yen.

>>49

A bonus of 50,000…

If this doesn’t work out, I think it would be more fun to make it a lifelong interesting story, so I hope it doesn’t work out.

There will be plenty of opportunities to get the main unit.

>>50

It’s still the first lottery, and retail hasn’t even started yet.

If we lived in a world where game developers received new personal gaming consoles from the company, then there wouldn’t be a need to participate in a lottery, right?

I had six Switch consoles, right? I feel like it was even more.

It’s not particularly rough even if you go see it.

It seems that they have at least two devices for everyday use, but I don’t know about more than that.

I can’t help but feel that it’s somewhat problematic if this person’s level can only be obtained through a lottery.

It might be a joke, but

Shigeru Miyamoto: “I’ve applied for the lottery reservation, I hope I can get it safely.”

Is the fact that even creators deeply involved with Nintendo’s “skrikn” class require a reservation lottery in some way a testament to fairness?

A third-party president would at least give you the main unit.

It’s a business partner.

Even if I could get it, I seem to be someone who wants to enjoy buying it through a lottery or by waiting in line.

Since I use two regularly, I received one but does that mean I need to buy the other one?

In this person’s case, it wouldn’t be strange if they were playing multiple games at the same time.

The maximum number of people that can be reserved is known by Nintendo.

It is possible to make everyone a winner.

We are already providing the Air Rider with dedicated software as a company, but…

I guess the other one for personal play and research purposes is a lottery, right?

But I think there is a possibility that everyone will win.

Nintendo is that kind of company.

>>70

We will sequentially ship to everyone who applied, though it’s not out of the question…

>>70

I didn’t win the experience event!!!

Someone who complains, “You just took away one of the lottery spots!!”

I don’t think they even own a Switch.

You’re from Nintendo, right?

>>72

That’s not it…

>>78

You are a giant in the industry.

>>72

This is Masahiro Sakurai from Sora…

>>72

Sora Co., Ltd.! This is Sora Co., Ltd.!

I believe it’s a service for all applicants called a lottery.

In this person’s case, it’s not for development or creator purposes, but something owned extremely personally.

Of course, I’ll buy it just like an ordinary person would.

Aren’t there enough versions in multiple languages available?

>>82

I wonder if global models will become excess…

The items in bundled packages, multilingual versions, and standard versions are probably the same, but I wonder how they decide the ratio for the lottery…

Actually, I’ve never been affiliated with Nintendo.

>>85

It’s HAL Laboratory, after all…

They might have a development machine, but they probably don’t have a regular console.

>>86

It might be at the company, but the personal one is not out yet, so there probably isn’t one.

The person who makes Kirby must be related to Nintendo!

>>89

Nintendo has never made Kirby!

I thought so, and when I looked it up properly, I found that only Kirby’s Dream Land was developed by Nintendo.

It seems that it was originally just a project for a different game with Kirby added on.

>>93

Many players have arms swollen because of Nintendo…

Well, if someone like you is buying it…

I hope you win.

Even if we say work, it probably isn’t limited to just development in this person’s case.

This person is at a level where they could be praised by Nintendo, if anything.

>>94

I knew it… they were connected to Nintendo and were accepting bribes!!!

Just applying as an individual shouldn’t really crowd the lottery slots! Even setting aside that common sense…

After all, it’s common these days not to apply for things like this or not to talk about it, because strange people tend to get involved.

It’s amusing that this person is so excited that they speak out on the internet.

Even if we say “work,” it’s not the kind that is counted as a business activity.

Isn’t it something like private research for work purposes…?

Wasn’t this person supposed to have multiple hard drives and arrange them in different rooms?

Can this be claimed as an expense?

>>101

It will definitely fall!

If you’re making Smash Bros, it’s like you’re always working while playing games.

It’s not that you haven’t touched it at work, but whether you can buy one for personal use is a different matter since you’re technically an outsider.

I wondered what this thread was about.

Are you still doing it…?

You should have already played with the development machine, but you can’t take it home to play with.

During the coronavirus period, I heard that expenses for remote meeting PCs for subordinates were approved if they were requested, so isn’t the main unit also an expense?

It can’t be helped… I guess I’ll make it on the Famicom.
