O2 NINTENDO SWITCH Japanese-Language System (Japan Only)
Do you think you can buy it?
>>1
…Ah!!!
If you win by flying, you won’t gain anything by abandoning it.
First, fly on the 24th.
Yesterday was amazing, but can I participate in the lottery right away now?
With the Kinkuri method, the only result left is that you win, make the payment, and wait for it to arrive.
>>6
Isn’t that the one that leads to death multiple times the moment you try to receive or open it? Are you okay?
There was the figure of someone unnamed that I couldn’t buy…!
>>7
I want to fly two months ago.
>>10
Continue to do lateral jumps.
>>13
It would be nice to advance until I can buy it by continuing to fly ahead…
I barely met the conditions, but I’m getting on the ship too.
Aren’t you selling it at the store!?
>>9
Skipping all the reservations and betting on a single item at the store is quite a challenge…
>>14
I remember that even with expectations not that high for the Switch, there was quite a line forming before the store opened on the day.
>>9
It’s absolutely impossible without doing a lottery or anything like that.
It seems that secondary and tertiary reservations will continue for a while.
>>11
Starting from the second round, the lottery reservations at mass retailers will begin, and I have a feeling it will turn into an intense information battle.
What I always imagine is a version of myself that can be bought.
Nintendo should raise the purchase requirements to 5 years of online membership and 4000 hours of playtime.
50,000 yen is too high for an elementary school student.
Isn’t it better to prioritize this since things are looking uncertain in North America?
>>21
But they said they won’t change the release date…
>>24
If you’re going to change it, you can just say that.
>>21
It’s clearly a reverse margin, but it’s hard to believe they would further favor domestic interests.
At the time of the Wii, you could only buy it through a lottery…
>>23
I have a faint memory that while I was able to normally reserve and buy a WiiU at a store, there seemed to be a limited number of units available.
It seems that there will be more entries for just the main unit in terms of price.
It seems that there are fewer sets of Mario Kart prepared…
>>25
I think there are more applications for the Mario Kart set.
>>27
The button position is bad.
I’m definitely going to choose that Mario Kart set.
>>30
It’s bad that Mario Kart looks more interesting than the button.
I really want to do freelancing.
>>25
The first lottery has quite a gap until the release.
It seems like they are likely doing a lottery to group everything together and distribute it.
For some reason, the software that costs 8000 yen comes with it for around 4000 yen…
>>28
It’s 8980 yen, so it’s almost 9000 yen.
Buy
Eh.
ru
Sa
Since it’s a digital code anyway, just print it infinitely.
When it was the Switch, I was able to buy it by lining up at the store without a reservation.
It was cold.
Rather, two months from now is too soon, so it’s okay if time passes a little more slowly…
I’m happy if I can buy it, but even if I can’t, I can say that there aren’t any titles I want to play right now on the 2, so I was able to avoid losing 50,000 yen.
>>38
It’s just a difference between losing 50,000 now or losing 50,000 later, right?
Then it’s obvious that it’s better to buy it sooner.
You probably know the number of conditions that have been met clearly, so almost everyone should be able to buy it, right?
Not everyone will participate in the lottery, after all.
I wonder if a new Animal Crossing will come out?
>>40
It feels like new releases come out about every four years, so it seems likely to happen…
I can’t help but wish that the Mario Kart Direct would come a few days earlier.
I already chose the set, so it’s fine.
Reselling has become so common that retailers have started to adapt.
I’ll play with the older model for a while, and then I’ll buy the OLED version when it comes out.
>>44
I’ll probably say I’ll buy it when the Switch 3 comes out by then.
I want to go meet the wild moomoos.
It seems like there’s more than one lottery this time, so I might just focus on the Nintendo Store.
I applied earlier and I’m a bit scared because I didn’t receive an email.
When I try to do it one more time, it says I’ve already applied, so I think it’s probably fine.
>>47
I did it yesterday, but it took about 20 to 30 minutes to arrive.
>>49
If there is a delay, I guess it’s a little reassuring. Thank you.
I haven’t come for about 3 hours, but I hope it arrives lightly at midnight…
>>47
I didn’t get an email for a while after applying before going to bed yesterday.
I think it will arrive eventually because it was delivered this morning.
The release date coincided with my business trip.
If I lose the lottery, I’ll become an anti.
I wonder how many times they will hold the lottery before the release date.
Why couldn’t the PS5 implement measures against reselling to this extent?
The store was so completely white that I decided to try opening it on my smartphone, and I was able to apply smoothly and was like “?????”.
There were people inquiring via DM, but even if you haven’t received an email, you don’t need to worry as long as it’s listed in your order history.
>>55
Even if I look at the My Nintendo Store
Unable to retrieve order history. Please try again after some time.
I can’t see because it says “and.”
>>55
Right now, my order history is too heavy to view.
There’s a period of time, so there’s no need to rush, but considering the risk of forgetting, I want to do it quickly…
You were filtering by PSN membership history for the PS5 too, right!? Don’t you remember?!
>>56
Did you do that domestically?
I only remember being hunted down by resellers because they didn’t even implement region locking.
It seems like I was able to apply for the lottery, but I haven’t received a confirmation email. When I tried to buy again, I got told that it’s only allowed once, so can I assume that my application was properly accepted?
In the first round, I’m protecting my heart with the convenient delusion that everyone will win.
I was planning to buy the console when the software I wanted was released.
Since I’ve met the conditions, I’ll try applying for the lottery…
Since it’s finally cheaper, should I go for the bundled version…?
It’s become something I’m looking forward to now, so it’s a clever way to draw out potential demand besides just countering reselling.
I wonder what the actual odds are.
I will hit! I should have at least that much luck!
This time, we are managing the production quantity, so there probably aren’t any stores that will have a lottery system where you can line up and buy on the day.
Since Switch2 is being made in Vietnam, that thing is becoming amazing…
>>66
A 34% increase, huh?
I hope it won’t take as long as three years to wait.
In the first place, last time it was possible to make a reservation even a week in advance…
If Mario Kart is a somewhat mediocre game, it’s still definitely fun to play…
Of course the number of applications will increase.
Anyway, getting it first is the best for the mind.
Well, it may be strange for me to say this since I already feel like I’ve bought it just by being able to participate in the lottery.
I don’t have the right to buy at My Nintendo, so I’m waiting for the general lottery.
It’s better to think that it probably won’t hit, as it protects the heart.
I believe they are keeping quite a few winning slots because they are probably aware of the total number of accounts that meet the application requirements.
It will lighten up from midnight to morning.
Isn’t it amazing to have a warehouse where you can store millions of Switch2?
While considering the winning slots, I think I’ll check everyone’s application rates and change the production ratio of the standard version and the MariCar version for the remaining two months.
Even if it says it’s bundled with Mario Kart, it’s just that the download code paper and the design of the cardboard box that contains the Switch are different.
Since I won the trial event, I hope I also get lucky with the console.
>>80
It would be tough if I could try it out but couldn’t buy it…
I hope the Nintendo Store continues this lottery sales format after June.
In that case, gamers will be able to buy it someday.
>>82
If I keep losing and continue to hear reports of others winning, I might end up getting involved with shady resellers.
Even though it’s called a lottery, I believe that almost everyone who meets the requirements will apply, so I assume they are preparing as much as they can.
How do you do the lottery again? Do you need to be subscribed to Switch Online?
>>84
Achievements of playing games for over 50 hours and being an online member for over a year at the time of application.
Always imagine yourself winning.
Is there no theory that the Japan allocation will increase because of that thing?
I’m going to take a little nap.
Let me know if I won.
>>88
“Is, is it dead…?”
The lineup for the first presentation is much weaker than last time.
Last time it was Zelda, Mario, Splatoon, and Xenoblade.
>>91
But haven’t we not shown much of this year’s lineup yet?
>>91
In other words… does that mean those will come flooding in next year…?
If I sleep until the release date, I might not be able to get it, so I’ll be sleeping until the 24th.
To be honest, I think it would be fine to wait until a game that I really want comes out.
I’m definitely interested in something like Mario Kart, but I also feel like it’s not something I need to play immediately.
>>94
I thought so too, but if buying Mario Kart means I can get the Switch 2 for about 5,000 yen cheaper…
>>94
I also feel the same way, but there’s no guarantee that I can buy it when I want, so I’m entering the lottery.
I want them to do the second and third rounds of the lottery sale…
Even if we eliminate resellers, it’s still tough because the number of people is large.
I wonder why I’m looking forward to playing Breath of the Wild again.
The price of software has returned to the days of the Super Famicom.
I felt that the PlayStation games were exceptionally cheap.
>>98
In recent years, due to the rising prices, games have been rather too cheap.
I was able to apply normally, but I wonder if this is really working properly!
Just by doing Breath of the Wild again, it’s guaranteed that I’ll spend three-digit hours on it…
>>101
Let’s also add Elden Ring.
>>109
Is it coming out on Switch!?
I have some games that I’ve piled up because the loading was slow and it was exhausting, so I hope I can play them a bit more comfortably.
I have no choice but to buy it because I want to play Shine Post.
It might end up being just looking at the worst game cards.
Gamers tend to underestimate it, but Mario Kart is always at the top of sales on Switch.
In other words, it’s from the very beginning that you’re giving it your all.
If you’re not interested in Mario Kart, I don’t think you need to force yourself to buy it.
I’ll go ahead and just apply for the lottery aside from that.
If I hadn’t gathered beforehand information, I think I would have felt like I didn’t need to play Mario Kart, but it actually looked more fun than I thought…
You do not meet the application requirements.
If I can’t get it on the first day, I’ll probably have to keep praying for two years in the lottery this time too.
>>112
I think you can buy it from December until early January.
In the past, whether it was the year it was released or during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Switch was available for purchase during this time.
I know it’s impossible, but I want them to get rid of the loading sections in the alleys of FF7R.
The expression “to give the right to buy” is somehow interesting.
>>114
The times are different now.
It’s not a buyer’s market.
I had been ignoring Marika because it was repetitive, but this time it looks interesting.
Also, since Waluigi was lively, I’m going to buy it.
Is the new From game a launch title?
>>116
It is said to be released in 226.
>>116
Next year
That will probably be a main title for autumn or the end of the year.
The information that I can drive without racing really resonates with me.
>>118
I wanted a life where I could wander the fields and take pictures with friends while voice chatting in an open-world Mario Kart during my childhood.
It’s like getting a beer just for buying the main unit.
It’s amazing how Mario Kart is usually bought together.
I’ve noticed many people, including myself, wanting it just because it looks fun to run around in Mario Kart.
Let’s stop expecting the performance of games released on third-party PS5 and such.
I’m grateful that I can play as much as possible on a 50,000 yen handheld game console.
There’s no doubt about Mari-ka.
There will probably be updates for a long time.
For those online, it doesn’t matter, but people with less than a total of 50 hours would probably just end up wasting it if they bought the Switch 2 right now.
The race is still safe even for small children who find it difficult.
How will the in-store team implement resale measures for peripheral devices? Should we include an information flyer inside the product?
>>131
Recently, stores have been limiting popular products to people who have participated in a lottery through their own app or those who have a history of using their own credit card.
There will probably be new software released for the Christmas sales.
Isn’t it amazing?
>>133
There are probably going to be more and more third-party developers participating now that the specs are no longer a bottleneck.
There were places that had restrictions like you can’t do it unless you have a credit card, so it might be the same this time.
Pokémon ZA will also be released, so they will probably start circulating it to some extent by autumn.
>>136
If the main story had come out, it would have become even more hellish.
If I win the main unit, I might as well buy the pro controller together…
I will choose the protective film at the store on my way home from work on the release date.
I don’t know about physical stores, but in online shopping, there are various things like company credit cards and purchase history, even in retail.
I applied for the lottery, but I’m anxious because there’s nothing on the order page saying “You have already applied.”
The email has arrived.
>>140
If an email had come, it would obviously be fine! Don’t put unnecessary pressure on me!
Reiwa kids can go home, play another game, and chat casually, like having a hangout spot at home.
I’m so jealous of how easily you can gather and have fun together playing Pokémon or Splatoon.
ZA is probably the main game as a Switch title, so I wonder how it will turn out.
There will probably be a lot coming out for the year-end sales.
It’s crazy that the air rider is coming out this year.
I’m not mentally prepared.
No matter how late it is, they will likely prepare a large stock for the Christmas sales season.
>>146
I hope for enough supply by the summer bonus.
Is it okay for Japanese people to have fun while Americans are saddened by the postponement…?
>>147
I resent the president of my country.
>>147
Starting on the 9th is actually earlier than Japan.
>>147
The reservation has been postponed, but the release is not postponed.
I can optimistically think that new titles for Xenoblade and FE will probably come eventually.
If you can buy Switch 2 without any reservations, go ahead and buy it.
Upgrade and play the stacked Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom…
Z-A’s sales mainly come from the Switch, right?
But I think the 10th generation will come out next year.
My nephew is set to debut on the Switch 2 and I’m so jealous it’s making me cry.
>>150
Rent me some software, old man.
I want the lottery results to be announced quickly; please reassure me.
I definitely want to get it by the time Air Rider comes out.
If I can’t get it and see the nameless ones having fun in Mario Kart, I feel like I could grind my teeth.
Switch2 has a price point that feels aimed at the parent generation with its software lineup.
I’ll enjoy it on behalf of the Americans!
The announcement of the winners and losers will be on the afternoon of the 24th, and reservations for physical stores will start on the 24th.
Physical stores are going to become battlegrounds…!
>>161
It means you should go in the morning!
>>161
It’s mostly a lottery online, right?
The main unit and the dock have gotten somewhat larger, so the box is likely bigger too.
>>163
There are quite a few videos of the experience event, but it feels like they have become smaller and more square-shaped.
I don’t want to jump through time without being able to make a reservation.
That aside, I want to play Mario Kart soon.
The Mario Kart set is such a great deal that I absolutely want it.
The survival mode seems like it will be quite challenging.
>>166
I loved aimlessly wandering around in City Trial, so I’m grateful for free run and photo mode…
It’s just that in America, the reservation was postponed; if things go poorly, the price might be close to 100,000 yen because of that thing.
I already feel like I’ve bought it, hoping for a new Monolith or FE game to be announced in the direct after the release.
I wonder if the new 3D Mario game is a bullet for Christmas.
It’s not just about racing, but being able to free run the field.
I’m excited remembering the amazing Choro-Q Wonderfour!
There aren’t many software options yet, so I’ll apply for the lottery without rushing.
I’m already seeking a direct response…
Is there June?
>>172
If it’s a Mario Kart Direct, then it’s number 17.
>>175
The devilish act of flashing before the official reservation lottery announcement.
>>175
It seems that the live commentary thread will be split into sections for winners and losers.
>>187
The results will be announced on the 24th.
>>187
It’s not confirmed yet!
You won’t regret buying the new Mario Kart just for being a new release.
You came in strong from the start.
>>176
First of all, it’s a super slowly selling software that’s been put into the “buy for now” category…
I want to buy it as soon as possible because I don’t know when the effects from NVIDIA’s production line might reach us.
The happiest moment was when I was longing for something unattainable, but I never expected that a sequel to Air Ride would actually become a reality…
Is the new Mario Kart being released for the first time in 14 years?
>>180
If you do not consider what was added to 8 as a new work, then that will happen.
Isn’t it a bit low on capacity for a game that’s almost like an open world?
>>182
It’s Nintendo’s specialty, the mysterious compression.
Basically, the audio files are the ones suffering.
>>190
That’s where music apps come into play.
I’m getting tired of looking forward to the Switch.
It will definitely miss and completely turn around all the expectations so far.
To be honest, I want to make sure I can play Mario Kart anytime.
I was thinking that I would prefer the DL version, and then they announced that the bundled version would also be the DL version.
Are you a master of consideration or what…?
I think they’ll definitely pass it on to retail in some way.
It’s okay to release about 5 million units domestically from the start.
>>191
No, I’ll have them stream it four times that amount.
I wonder when they started mass production.
I understand that Nintendo really wants to sell to everyone here, so I think there’s a pretty high chance of success.
If we had 5 million units, this lottery would essentially become made-to-order production.
Is Mario Kart really that interesting?
>>198
It’s not that interesting to do it alone.
I wonder how many people actually meet the application eligibility requirements.
I wonder how much stock Nintendo Direct Sales has; are they preparing about 100,000 units just for the sets and domestic versions?
>>200
At the moment, a mere 100,000 could easily turn into a 30-fold increase.
I think there are quite a few people who will log in online for the lottery after a long time.
That alone seems like it will amount to a considerable sum.
The strategy to combat resale while also making customers feel chosen to increase their willingness to buy is too clever.
If the conditions are met, you should be able to buy a significant portion.
Unless the data manipulation starts.
You can’t really buy such a new model, can you?
A lottery where everyone wins would be fine too… No, do it!
Well, I thought it would likely hit, but it would really suck if it doesn’t, so I just assumed it wouldn’t and looked up retail reservations.
Well, in Mario Kart, the characters hardly talk anyway.
