What if it doesn’t work out?

Nintendo has been using its know-how from 150 years of customer service to understand how to impose conditions like contract periods and playtime restrictions to narrow it down to millions of people.

I believe the answer is that almost everyone will hit the target.

If you miss it

>>5

150 years!?

>>14

The flower card shop was started in 1889.

>>29

Since the time of being a hanafuda card shop and after becoming Yamauchi Nintendo, it’s basically a completely different company.

I wonder if it would have been better not to have a set… I’m feeling anxious about it.

It might be a good idea to be prepared, as the number of applicants may exceed expectations.

I don’t play Mario Kart, so I don’t quite understand how Mario Kart leads the way.

If I don’t get it, it means there are plenty of people who meet the conditions, and they all want it… So I’ll go to other lottery sales with a positive mindset.

(Everyone probably hasn’t bought the Mario Kart set…)

When I tried to apply, the email address of the account I created a long time ago had become unusable, and I’m stuck.

>>12

There was an announcement that those kinds of guys are making a large volume of inquiries, and we’re overwhelmed with responses.

>>28

So I contacted them just in case, but I haven’t received a reply to my email.

>>12

I saw an article saying that they are overwhelmed with this type of inquiries.

Well, if you usually log in to My Nintendo and such, you’d think you’d notice it somewhere.

>>98

I was only logged in from the Switch…

>>113

I logged in from my PC and applied for the lottery, but there was no authentication or anything.

I wonder if it changes depending on the medium used.

It seems like you have an idea of the number of people that meet the conditions, right?

I don’t have any software I want to use right away, so I won’t cry if I don’t win…

The software I want is still a bit far off, so I don’t know if it will be available later, but I’m considering doing a second reservation at the store.

Stop it, Toriko’s routine.

Shall I release the joy of hitting it while I can…?

It would be great if the lottery is not just this one time, but is held regularly with the condition of this time plus limited to those who haven’t purchased.

This kind of lottery reminds me of concert tickets, but if it’s something that needs to generate sales, it would lead to an opportunity loss, so they probably make enough for everyone to win.

Maybe

You plan to estimate the number of buyers in the first round and then offer a service to all applicants in the second round, right?

I know, I know.

I feel like I could roughly predict the number of reservations by checking the Nintendo Online account, but I wonder if that’s the case.

>>23

That said, not everyone is going to make a reservation…

>>32

I think it wouldn’t be a problem to create enough online subscribers to meet the conditions.

>>32

In other words, that means there will be a surplus!

Since Runfa has launched, I want it for that reason…!

If it weren’t for Lunfa, I could have tolerated it…!

Switch2’s concurrent users in Japan are 3.25 million. If even 10% of those who saw it decided to purchase, that would be 300,000 people.

(Well, I’m the only one who gets it right anyway.)

Thanks to the global Great Depression, the common people’s wallets have tightened.

The chances of winning may have increased.

The common people, despairing due to the global Great Depression, sought refuge in affordable entertainment.

The winning probability may have decreased.

The issue is how many Pro Controller 2s are prepared.

Once I receive the winning email, should I buy the console immediately and head to the Pro Controller 2 page?

>>30

Do you really want a back button that much?

>>162

If you can be assigned to a push-in, that’s already quite valuable.

>>168

I don’t want unnecessary stress to be put on the already fragile stick part.

>>162

If you’re used to using other controllers with back buttons, not having them can feel inconvenient, and even without considering the back buttons, there are definitely people who want to secure them quickly.

I think the way of doing Runfa is a bit cheap.

I’ll wait until it is normally on the shelves.

>>33

If I don’t even participate in the lottery, it will take two years…

Before judging how much will be sold, there is the problem of how many units can be prepared.

>>35

Speaking of which, I also had to provide my ID when I bought the PS5.

I want a GC controller more than a pro controller.

It will be a competition with resellers at the store, won’t it?

Even if I can’t get just one person, will Nameless still play with me?

The game that was released during the subtle gap between Switch and Switch 2…

Generally speaking, I don’t think there are many people who would spend 50,000 yen on a game console.

>>47

Starting a psychological battle here won’t have any ripple effects…

>>42

It’s just a little more than the DS, so it’s fine, fine.

>>42

However, when it’s said that it’s 70,000 abroad but 50,000 in Japan, it seems like a good deal.

>>58

I might buy a vase or something.

>>42

Everyone is thinking that while making a lottery reservation.

Damn it! Just because we’re family! No blood, no tears!

We’re going to die… die like this…!

It seems that mass retailers will likely have a lottery system, but Amazon will probably see the rise of fast-first bots.

I want Ring Fit Adventure 2 to be released soon.

I don’t want to keep the old Joy-Con and charging method just for the Ring-Con.

Since it’s a lottery reservation, there might be times when you don’t win.

I understand.

I also participated in the lottery, thinking that today I would finally become a witch when the PS5 came out.

I have the qualifications, so I guess I’ll just apply for the lottery.

The new Rune Factory is not exclusive to Switch2, but it’s a Switch2 Edition, so if I buy this version, I won’t be able to play it on the Switch?

>>56

There is a first edition and a second edition, and the first edition can be done with the second, but the reverse is impossible.

The first edition can be upgraded to the second edition via the upgrade pass.

>>118

If you buy the digital version on Switch and then convert it to a virtual ROM or something, and afterward buy and apply the upgrade path on Switch 2, you probably can’t return it to the Switch side, right?

I think you can buy it seriously and normally.

Whether it can be produced on the first try is another matter…

Since I usually just lounge around while playing, please make the new Joy-Con more durable.

I wonder if American money will flow over here…

If we just produce it in Vietnam and bring it back to the country, there are no customs duties! Alright!

My dad is friends with the president of Nintendo, so I can get a Switch 2.

Even if you can grasp the numbers, whether you can actually prepare them is a different issue. Unlike software, hardware has physical problems.

During the PS5 era, I heard various stories about the production environment for semiconductors and such, but is there any information regarding the number of units this time?

I only remember repeatedly applying in order for a confusing lottery for both Switch1 and PS5 and getting rejected.

Now, when I think of buying a 3DS used, it’s often a good deal because it’s even more expensive than the one in the thread.

Well, I think it’s hard to say anything definitive about the procurement of materials since it likely involves global circumstances.

You feel like you’ve won as soon as you meet the application requirements.

I learned that there are quite a few people who are not families but are using the family plan together.

>>72

Isn’t it convenient to be able to communicate alone?

>>72

Even among friends, there are ways to use a family plan to save money, and Nintendo is promoting such options.

Even if I miss out on Nintendo, there’s Joshing who will sell me a PS5…

Even though it’s shown in the history, I still haven’t received an email after several days…

I have checked the registered address and the spam folder.

I applied as a last-ditch effort.

I don’t think everyone can win.

If the winning rate is over half, those who didn’t win will shed tears of blood, right?

Speaking of the 3DS, I wish I had bought the New model since I didn’t get one…

I was also playing games online and received a birthday celebration email from Nintendo, so I thought I had easily met the conditions, but I actually wasn’t subscribed to Nintendo Online.

If there are no Chinese people, I can buy it, so I will buy it in-store.

Hehe, for now, I’ll just look around and wait until the special edition comes out around Christmas.

Since it’s 50,000, there will likely be quite a few cut-offs there.

It’s too expensive to buy for a child…

>>82

But it would be sad if they were left out in class…

iPhones and other things are more expensive…

>>82

Is there really that much difference between a 40,000 yen OLED and a 50,000 yen one?

Everyone has it, or that’s bigger.

Since it’s a special opportunity, I want to choose the better deal, but I’m so bad that I couldn’t even come in first once in the previous game…

>>83

Let’s freelance together!

If I miss, I’m planning to launch a jet stream attack on Geo Yamada Daion, but in case I win all three lotteries, will I be able to cancel?

>>85

I think it will be automatically canceled if you don’t make the payment.

In Europe, the conditions are stricter, right?

The Pro Controller can continue to use the original, and even if I can’t buy it, well…

It’s fine to dream about the limited edition Pokémon that will surely be released.

>>89

How does it feel?

>>89

What kind of approach will it be? Will there be a lottery or something like that?

Once the first payment period is over, the second lottery will be held immediately, right?

I wonder if the secondary lottery for My Nintendo will have the same conditions.

I don’t want to be thrown into the lottery environment of retail…

When I lose in the lottery, I hope the odds of winning are extremely low.

If everyone hits it and I’m the only one who doesn’t, I might end up becoming an anti.

It’s fine, if you don’t feel like winning, you won’t apply anyway.

Games are an incredibly cost-effective form of entertainment, but they tend to be undervalued.

>>97

The Switch lasted 8 years without issues, and my 3DS LL is still in active use…

>>97

If the initial investment appears low, we have to compete with smartphone installment payments…

>>97

In the past, I thought that online competitive games that could be played infinitely were the best.

I have less time and energy to play games now.

I’m grateful for games where you can finish them once you clear the story…

I included Mario Kart, but it seems like the odds are high.

Well, if I miss, I’ll participate in the lottery again.

I have the impression that the capacity is around 500,000 units at most.

I attract good luck by doing the ultimate routine as if I’ve already hit the jackpot.

I decided to get the Mario Kart since I went through the trouble, but I haven’t touched it since the Wii.

>>104

In other words, that means it’s going to be really fun!

Is it possible to make a reservation yet? It seems really annoying to get calls like that.

I think it’s pathetic for someone to think “Mario Kart seems to have high competition, so I’ll go for the regular version…”

If you’re anonymous, dare to challenge what you truly desire.

I haven’t played recently, and it was the right time to pause my membership, so I’m conflicted.

I’m sorry for the totally ridiculous phone story my acquaintance from the game store shared, but I couldn’t help but laugh.

>>114

What’s happening?

I bought it, hahaha!

I think the number of people who meet the conditions is probably around what I’m guessing.

Nintendo understands the play conditions to maintain mental peace, so the theory that everyone wins is spreading rapidly.

>>117

Well, if the pre-sale lottery announces that the official number of units available is only 10,000! With an odds of winning between 0.1% and 1%! That kind of level would just attract hate.

There should be a considerable number…

The official lottery will also be held in second and third rounds, so you can safely let it be automatically canceled.

I plan for our PS4 to keep going as a subscription playback device for about another 10 years.

Speaking of which, the 40,000 one is selling better, isn’t it?

Speaking of which, I’m charging the Joy-Con with the charging dock.

After buying the second one, I definitely want to put away the first one, so I need to buy something for charging for Ring Fit.

>>124

I see, it won’t stick to the ring con anymore.

Runfa! Play Synacture!

I have a bad feeling that the ZA first edition will definitely be shaky.

I think I want at least 2 million units in Japan to be able to buy it on the release day with some degree of peace of mind, but I really wonder if they will actually do it…

It seems that many families might purchase two units at the end of the year with a combination of Christmas and New Year’s gifts.

>>129

Isn’t that a bit expensive?

Amidst the echoing reports of winning, there might be times when I feel all wobbly…

Since it sold so well, Ring Fit 2 will probably come eventually.

But Gold and Silver worked just fine on the Game Boy…

>>132

Later, I realized that there were so many colors when I played it on the GBC.

I wonder what will happen to the peripherals for the standard Switch.

If there’s a third round, I’ll wait for the third round.

Accounts from the DS era were really lax, weren’t they? If the main unit broke, you couldn’t recover the account, so downloaded assets were gone.

After the release, it seems like the Joy-Con 1 charging system will become expensive, so I might as well prepare in advance.

I turned on the notifications for the My Nintendo app because I want to lift my spirits.

I’m going to believe in my husband and wait for him…

Can’t we regulate scalpers?

Well, it must be difficult.

>>143

It’s indistinguishable from a retail store…

There seems to be a decent number of anonymous people who got overly excited and burned out six months ago.

Is there a reservation slot for around a million copies?

I want two, but I also want to buy a spare Lite.

The precious game that used the disappeared AR camera with Joy-Con 2 was Ring Fit.

If a Ring Fit 2 specifically for Switch2 comes out, I wonder what they’ll do. Will they add some features to the Ring-Con 2?

It would be good if My Number cards became mandatory.

There are already movements like that for concert tickets and such.

I’m not sure if it’s because of Switch2, but when I called the nearby Geo, it had an automated voice guidance response.

>>151

I’m sure you’re getting an infinite number of annoying phone calls.

Is it coming out… Switch 2 Lite…

If I get eliminated, I’m thinking of finding someone who seems to have less playtime than me and getting angry alone.

Buying version 1 and the upgrade path, and transferring version 1 and 2 with a virtual game card is currently a good deal.

People who say they won’t do it now at 1 don’t need it.

Well, I thought it would eventually hit, but knowing that there are two versions of Raido, I’m starting to get anxious…

I wonder why the manufacturers are so desperate to counteract reselling.

>>157

It’s because we are the ones who are said to be sitting back and relaxing…

I’ve used the Switch Lite quite a bit as a secondary device, so I’d really like to see a lighter portable version come out.

>>159

It seems like they need fans.

One Nintendo account per device.

Linked to the main unit.

I would like at least a suggestion for repair or replacement time with the main unit.

Resellers are so harmful to the industry in every direction that it’s unbearable.

I really wonder if there’s any way to deal with those guys.

Late Game Boy games can run Star Ocean even on a black and white GB.

It’s pretty crazy that the special items are prepared depending on the main body being moved.

I want the main unit of Splatoon Color, so release 4 quickly!

I’m curious about what the Steam version of Rune Factory is like.

Is there anyone who has a Switch but can’t meet these conditions?

The reason we’re implementing resale measures is that if we don’t, we’ll receive complaints from customers…

I can only hope that Nintendo itself knows the maximum number that meets the conditions and is adjusting accordingly.

>>171

By the way, if we determine the production number based on the number of accounts that meet the conditions, there’s a possibility that it could reach all the customers who are the most genuinely interested for now…

>>184

Even if the required quantity is accurately understood, production capacity…

If it misses, I won’t buy it again.

I know you’re listening, Iwata.

Make sure to hit it.

It’s something only a strong manufacturer that can make a profit without reselling can do.

>>174

Are there manufacturers that profit from reselling!?

Why are you telling Iwata?

I don’t want to answer any more inquiries about Switch 2…

Geo was quick to respond to the PS5 situation and is reliable.

As a measure against resellers

If there are multiple accounts addressed to the same address

I want it to be a win for just one unit.

Iwata is already…

Is it time for the tide?

If it’s missed, I’ll draw lots in the Mario Kart version next time.

I want to play Rune Factory, but…

Runfa might be available from midnight, but I won’t be able to get the Switch 2 at that time, so how should we handle that?

I can buy the Switch version and upgrade later, right?

>>185

I can do it, but since the details of the upgrade pass haven’t been released yet, I’ll hold off for now.

The switch’s battery doesn’t last anymore…

>>186

Last summer, ours swelled up significantly, so I hurriedly sent it for official repair to get it replaced…

If I can buy a PS5, I might as well leave this console at my parents’ house…

Those who can only survive through reselling and can’t do a proper job really show a crazy look in their eyes, disregarding everything.

The lottery at GEO is pretty tedious, like how they should have made it possible to rent with a Ponta card.

I’m not going to use rentals anymore.

>>189

I don’t know about now, but back then you couldn’t register for rentals unless you did it in-store, so it’s a great resale prevention measure.

I think they are drawing the line based on the limited production numbers.

The conditions are different between Japan and Europe.

I’m in the additional pack, you know? There’s no way I can miss out.

>>192

Want to give it a try? I’m in my second year of the extra pack too.

If someone else wins and I don’t, I’ll truly celebrate because it means it went to someone who really wanted it.

I knew it, I wish everyone but me would miss.

>>195

It would be nice if both you and I win, right?

If you keep saying such wicked things, you might end up missing out, you know?

If everyone besides me gets eliminated, we can’t play together!

It’s great that the official pro controller and charging grip come with back buttons.

Even if it says it comes with Marika, it’s just got the DL version serial included, so it’s not really different from the regular version, right?

I can’t remember what the resale was for, but I feel like there’s a video of a reseller in the sales line shouting like a monkey with angry voices and insults, though it wasn’t worth watching closely, so I don’t remember.

Does trying to take advantage of others lower one’s character?

This is likely the largest logistics project for the My Nintendo Store so far.

If you want, I can help you.

Instead, let’s just casually take the winnings…

It seems like there are many people who might not be heavy users like me, but if they meet the conditions and can buy it, they might as well go ahead and buy it…

>>204

It’s frustrating when something you want isn’t available in circulation for various reasons…

I think that surely there aren’t hundreds of thousands of people applying just within the country.

But I don’t even know how much is prepared in the first place.

Please tell me what happened during each playtime, Anonymous.
