I did it!

Looking at the view count of the Mario Kart Direct, I have a feeling that the competition for the bundled version will be tough…

>>3

Does the competition rate change with the bundled version?

>>19

There’s no way that’s true.

When will it hit?

There will be a second lottery as well…

I’ll win.

Is it the 24th?

Please hit it before the release date!

Isn’t it the week after next? That’s too soon.

I plan to apply at the local electronics store starting from the 24th.

>>12

If you buy it at the store, as soon as you step out, everyone around you becomes an enemy, but that’s courageous.

>>27

Stop boasting about living in a dangerous area.

I’ve run out of options and I have to guess now…

When you first fail, it becomes troublesome because the options increase, making it difficult to choose whether to go for the second round or to bet on a store lottery.

>>14

I think it’s okay if I win both and end up with two.

I thought that if you’re going to recover profits with software, you probably wouldn’t want to have two devices that can move the software around.

The first results are already out?

I don’t necessarily want it on the release day, but I definitely want it, so I’m okay with getting it in the second round.

>>17

Well then, I’ll ride on that.

My smartphone that I haven’t touched loses half its battery in a day, so I’m holding off on buying a new one because of this issue.

The U.S. views are half of Japan’s, and this makes me think…

>>20

Consider the time difference!

Even though we say we will collect it softly,

Looking at just the main unit, the price setting means that the more we sell, the more we go into the red, but can we really sell a lot?

>>21

Peripheral devices will probably sell as well, so I think it can cover the losses there.

That said, it seems like the number of units sold is quite significant and it’s likely to be quite painful.

I won, ha ha ha!

Deciding whether to make a reservation at a small store or a large store is a 고민 (worry/concern).

What will you do if you win? I’ll play Air Ride and Das Brawl.

>>28

Sha… Shine Post!!

I applied for the version that doesn’t come with a bundle, so I bought it…

Are there still people who haven’t won?

If I was shown something like that and told it was a dud, then…

I am going to end up hating Nintendo.

If we don’t sell the hardware, we can’t sell the software…

This is just between us, but online+ has priority.

Imagining is always the self that was right.

>>39

I could imagine someone updating the thread with a face cursed by everything in this world, while repeatedly hitting delete on replies claiming they got lucky.

I didn’t win the experience event…

All members elected.

If you come like that, I’ll laugh.

>>41

Even if that’s the case, they wouldn’t say it openly, and they’re announcing that the secondary lottery is just around the corner! It’s clear to even a monkey that something like that can’t happen.

>>45

This one will miss.

>>45

It’s fine if you just say it. Why are you so tense?

Nintendo will tilt the company and buy up semiconductors to supply everyone.

I booked a hotel for two nights over the weekend of the release date, so I’m going to stay in and have fun.

I won’t lose when it comes to online play time!

The trial session has no conditions…

I… have been elected!

I’m currently playing roulette at Nintendo.

>>51

(Clatter clatter clatter) Yes, this person has lost.

Ah, it’s too bad that I’ve played Splatoon for about 5000 hours.

It looks like they’re having fun doing that.

Hit rate comparable to Super Robot Wars.

The announcement says that the second lottery will be after the afternoon of the 28th, so it’s unlikely that everyone will win…

Don’t get irritated just because it missed.

I’m still angry, GAIJIN, what… ?

>>56

Well, it’s your price, so it can’t be helped.

In the PC gaming community, Japanese people used to be on the angry side…

I still want a multilingual version, but it’s 70,000 yen…

>>57

Isn’t it unnecessary unless you’re bringing it outside of Japan?

Considering the application requirements and the number being offered, the official lottery seems to have the best chance.

If you miss it, hell awaits you.

I need to buy a monitor with a higher refresh rate.

Since it’s a switch, I was fine with a limit of 60 and used a cheap one.

If I win, I’ll enjoy being anonymous and Pedo Kart World…

It’s fine to just have the winners chosen based on the longest playtime.

“It’s not worth 80 dollars,” but why can’t GAIJIN choose not to buy it?

>>63

It must be sour grapes…

The software I want isn’t out yet, but for now, I’ve made a reservation.

>>64

It’s not a reservation; it’s the stage of lottery application.

Reason for disqualification

Because I’m nameless.

>>66

How is it being distinguished…

>>70

You’re probably just chatting in a multi-session or something like that, right?

>>76

Musu-

>>79

Choi Ah~

>>70

Account names and playtime unique to those who have stopped being human.

And it distinguishes based on the time of day you’re playing.

I’m so curious about how much more comfortable the loading times in Switch games have become that I can’t sleep at night.

>>67

I don’t think it really changes much, basically.

In the developer interview, they mentioned that there were improvements in stability, but it doesn’t provide any real comfort.

>>73

Yoshi’s Crafted World has changed dramatically…

The internet in America is on a completely different level compared to Japan, it’s the real deal.

The current AAA titles are probably around this price.

I am confident that I will never use the C button even if I hit it.

I can’t tell if those who are getting angry are the majority or not…

Well, no matter how far it goes, it’s just a fire on the other side of the river.

>>77

I’m worried that I’ll get a lot of hate for it.

I was thinking that they probably separated the bundled version and the standalone version in order to adjust the production numbers based on the number of participants in the lottery.

If we think that the only difference between direct sales is the download card and the package, then this is the latest we can do right now.

Isn’t the price relatively high even domestically, Mario Kart? lol

Trump should be able to raise the prices in Japan as well by imposing tariffs…

>>81

How?

Negative campaigns are being conducted everywhere in the world.

I! I have been elected!

The second application is for those who, like me, forgot to apply, not for those who failed.

In other words, if the person using it outside of Japan is Japanese, there shouldn’t be any problem.

I don’t have the same passion for importing overseas software and playing with it like I used to, so I decided to go with the domestic version.

You want to do an RTA, don’t you?

Too bad, nameless. Sometimes luck isn’t on your side! Let’s reset our mindset and apply for the second round!

(…Well, I hit it though.)

It is said that the RTA community and Pokémon community need a multilingual version.

GAIJIN is already moving with an eye on switch3…

I couldn’t get lucky with the lottery applications, but when I took turns trying, I succeeded when it was just the console, so I have to buy Mario Kart later.

>>96

It would have settled down in a few days…

Does the number of characters displayed affect the RTA?

I have no plans to buy the 3, so I have no choice but to buy the cheap Japanese-only Switch 2…

It’s not “don’t buy,” but “let me win,” and I’ve never understood that movement over there.

>>100

Complaints should be directed at exchange rates, prices, and tariffs!

Well, people who are considering RTA from the start will probably buy the multilingual version without any hesitation…

If it’s an RTA, I see what you mean… but that’s just your convenience, isn’t it?

>>102

I think it’s a healthy choice because it is truly driven by necessity.

From the perspective of a typical Japanese person, who is accustomed to the varying prices of software, a software that costs 6000 yen being priced at 7000 or 8000 yen wouldn’t elicit any strong feelings.

I only feel like it might have cost a lot for development, or maybe because it has a large capacity?

>>105

*Sometimes there are games that are around 8000 yen with sparse content…*

Leaving the Americans behind.

I don’t think I can keep up with this fight…

$80 isn’t that high of a price…!

>>107

It seems they are complaining about crossing the $70 chasm.

It seems they tried to keep any AAA title at around $70 as much as possible.

…Isn’t that something like America was dumping?

Everyone should have won, but…

>>108

Really? Can I tell everyone in the class tomorrow that everyone won?

It’s ridiculous that only America is still at 60 dollars.

I understand how foreigners feel, because if it’s not around 50,000 yen, I lose interest in buying it.

>>115

The bundled version is cheap, but the regular version being 9000 yen is quite a high hurdle.

>>115

I was prepared to spend 70,000.

That’s pretty much how UMPC is.

Everything is inflating, and the contents of the games are becoming increasingly high-cost, so there’s no way to maintain the prices!

But the monthly salary of Americans is about ten times that of Japan, right?

>>117

That’s right.

Prices are 20 times higher, though.

Marika is a title that you can play for 5 or 10 years, so a difference of 10 or 20 dollars is just a rounding error, isn’t it?

The development costs continue to rise, so it’s impossible to stick to the conventional prices.

In Japan, graphics cards are ridiculously expensive compared to America, and the Switch 2 is cheap.

The cost-effectiveness of switch2 has reached an absurd level.

I think Japan was favored because the Switch penetration rate is below 10% in Europe and the U.S., while it’s just under 30% in Japan.

It stands out too much.

If I win, I’ll be able to spend the next two months in the best mood.

I subscribed to the personal plan after a long time.

I would be in trouble if you don’t win.

>>128

Unlike the ones I continued with, I’ve paid a 300 yen application fee, so I expect to be prioritized…

Are Westerners not switching that much?

If you include a pro controller and a steering wheel attachment in the Mario Kart set, it would cost around 70,000 yen.

Give me a Switch 2.

I am a subscriber of the additional plan.

A product that generates about 20,000 yen in profit just by buying it.

I’m not taking action because I would be happy if foreigners went crazy over prices and it led to Switch2 doing sushi kelp, but I’m watching with excitement while getting angry.

>>134

Honestly, rather than that direction

I don’t like the idea of being used as a driving force for hacks…

A time when how much virtue you have accumulated is put to the test…

>>135

Yesterday, I handed a shopping basket to an old man with a cane at the supermarket.

Virtue Points!

I didn’t have the right to apply, so I’ll patiently wait in line at the electronics retail store…

What if I miss? I’ll apply for the second time.

>>138

I had a similar exchange with a cobra.

If you keep applying until you win, you will win.

When I first heard it, I thought 50,000 isn’t exactly cheap.

As I hear various stories from both inside and outside, I’m starting to feel that it’s quite cheap.

If I win, I’ll play Inazuma Eleven and FL…

Mario Kart is definitely fun, but it’s not a title that you would die if you can’t buy it on the release day.

That said, I will definitely get it on the release day…

Well, if it’s sold out, I’ll just reserve it at Yodobashi.

The Pro Controller 1 can be used normally, that’s nice… I don’t do voice chat and often turn off vibrations, so I’m fine with the 1. It really seems like it will be inexpensive.

>>146

It seems like the only thing I might struggle with if I don’t have the Pro Controller 2 is the back buttons.

It seems that the My Nintendo with conditions has the highest winning rate…

When is the announcement of the winners?

24

I can’t sleep thinking that it’s already next week.

I wonder if it will hit!?

I wonder if I’ll hit it in Mario Kart!?

>>152

Let’s play together in June for sure!

In less than a week, the Switch 2 will be mine…

The Pro Controller 1 can’t turn on the main power, which is a bit inconvenient.

Huh? I won, though.

I was surprised that there are quite a few people who are fine without waking up the controller from sleep mode.

Announcement of results on the afternoon of the 24th → I didn’t win, so when I went to the store, the reservations were already closed.

That’s tough.

I’ve been a loyal customer buying on release day from GC all along.

Please, let it be right.

Did the one who got kicked out normally kick around Jizo statues too?

I can’t forget that response.

>>160

At least the people here have the vice of frequently hanging around the bulletin board.

Since I’ll just place it on the desk anyway.

Even if you can’t start it with the controller

I’m not that troubled.

The loading in Breath of the Wild has become incredibly fast.

It’s really high-tech.

>>163

Fast storage is definitely justice, whether it’s on a game console or a PC.

I can’t turn on the power with the pro controller… that’s a bit annoying.

Keeping Nintendo Today as a widget makes it easy to access, so I tend to check it often.

I wonder how many years it will take for everyone who wants this to get it.

>>166

It’s not that the performance has a bad yield, so I think it will become casually available after about a year.

>>169

During the COVID-19 pandemic, global logistics were severely disrupted, which was tough.

I believe that things are much better now, even if there are still periods when things are hard to obtain compared to that time.

I’ve been online constantly, so I’m sure it will hit!

That’s the kind of feeling I have, so if I miss it, I might cry.

I’m enjoying a Switch 2 vibe with my Steam Deck.

It’s smaller than this, but isn’t it still too big!?

Production is probably not keeping up with demand.

The production costs have increased compared to the past, but I don’t know about the production itself.

I plan to only use Japanese, but is there a possibility of using other languages in some cases like RTA?

>>174

You can change the in-game language, right?
