It will be about 1000 times magnification.
I want to have combat power.
So much…
GEO has relaxed conditions, but is there really that many applications?
I’m already over a billion.
Because the Ponta card is so easy to create that even a middle school student can make one, and they don’t even check purchase history, it’s possibly the most lenient among major retailers.
That’s why they flock to the easier option.
Is it only 300,000?
I thought it would be more amazing.
>>9
It’s abnormal that 300,000 units are gathered at Geo alone when the first-generation Switch had a total worldwide shipment of 2.7 million units in its first week.
There are plenty of other retailers accepting lottery applications, so I wonder how much competition there will be in total.
I wonder why Geo-chan doesn’t create their own credit card.
Despite saying to add the rental feature, you make it impossible to register for the rental feature online during the lottery period.
I was told that I have to go to the store…
>>12
I guess that’s what Geo thinks of as a wall…
If you don’t want to go to the store, you can just give up, right?
>>12
Aren’t you just going to buy it at the store anyway?
I feel like an idiot for forgetting the phone number I used when I created my ponta card and not being able to link it.
>>13
That’s really stupid.
>>13
It seems likely that if they change the Ponta card number, people might not notice and still use the old number…
Is there any insider tip like reserving at a lesser-known store for a higher winning rate, similar to McDonald’s lucky bags for GEO reservations?
I wonder if there are about 100,000 units at Geo.
Well, everyone will probably participate in all the places where they meet the limit, so there’s no chance of dispersion lowering the odds.
>>18
Even so, if you don’t intend to resell, you would decline even if you win multiple times, so it effectively spreads out.
To be precise, those with later announcement dates tend to win more easily.
If I didn’t win the lottery at Yamada Denki, my last hope was GEO, but that seems unlikely too…
Amazon is more relaxed, just a click is enough.
I ended up applying to four places.
Since everyone is probably applying for the lottery multiple times, the actual number of buyers should be much smaller, and there might be cases where people who won over there won’t buy here…
Considering that 2.2 million people have applied from the very beginning, I think it won’t be obtainable until next summer.
It seems like it might take until the year after next, even if things go smoothly.
Isn’t the serial number 300,000 only at Geo?
That’s quite insane…
>>25
The official is 2.2 million…
Those who do it must feel overwhelmed, but this must be really good for promoting the app.
Number 7 cannot be cancelled, but is it really non-cancellable if I haven’t paid?
It’s amazing that they can increase rental members these days.
It doesn’t seem like there are any people who would use it as a rental feature.
>>29
The nearby Geo stopped CD rentals, so I’ve lost the reason to use it…
You fool, if you hadn’t started this thread, I wouldn’t have applied.
I’m sorry that the official products are in short supply, but that will make everyone take it seriously.
>>31
Some might even say that there are people jumping on the bandwagon precisely because it was popular due to scarcity.
I didn’t make a reservation, but I’m thinking of buying it on the release day at the store. It seems like I really should have made a reservation…
>>36
Not for sale at the store, but…
I can only rely on the official, so I scatter away.
I wonder if there are any stores available at that time.
Cancellation part?
We inform you of the scheduled date for the domestic stock earnings announcement (Stock Information Notification Service). This is a notification from Rakuten Securities.
This email is sent to those who hold the relevant stock or have it registered as a favorite.
■ Earnings Announcement Date (2025/05/08)
5 business days prior
Nintendo (7974)
The earnings announcement date is subject to change. The earnings details can be confirmed on the timely disclosure section of the relevant individual stock screen after the earnings announcement date.
I realized that a crazy event is approaching through the notification.
I have a GEO ID, but it seems I have to go to the store and register for rentals, which is a hassle, so I haven’t applied.
>>45
You can just check with the app.
According to my application number, it looks like nearly 340,000 people have applied.
Since the new member sign-up is currently suspended during the lottery period, only existing members should be able to apply.
>>47
Just because it can’t be done online doesn’t mean it can’t be done in-store, so many new customers come in.
>>47
I’m not doing anything that stupid.
>>47
It seems like it could reopen from May 7, so it might increase even more if it can be done at the store.
If the allocation is based on past hardware sales performance, then…
Yodo and Bic are probably the top two.
Sure, many people probably registered when the Switch or PS5 came out, or transferred from card rentals that they had been using before the app.
If it’s like that at Geo, then there’s no way it would work at Amazon.
>>54
Well, yes.
I didn’t expect anything from the beginning.
It’s like saying that those who don’t have official rights and only have rights from Geo shouldn’t buy anymore.
If I could wish for something, I’d want a large selection available at the My Nintendo Store, but it’s also important to distribute incentives to retailers, so it can’t be helped.
It seems that the Pokémon Center Online prioritizes based on the amount spent, but since I’m always losing in the lotteries and haven’t spent money online regularly, I probably won’t win.
It might be best to wait and sleep until the official announcement.
>>64
It should be quite supplied by Christmas.
>>64
The problem is guys like me who have been on My Nintendo for less than a year.
>>208
I think it will probably be eased to about six months cumulatively by Christmas…
>>213
With 2.2 million people, it probably won’t be possible.
>>208
I usually don’t use online shopping at all, so I have no choice but to rely on Amazon.
Aren’t there benefits for Prime members or based on purchase amounts anyway?
It was an invitation, and there wasn’t a single word about a fair lottery.
I have never received an invitation email.
>>68
It never came after all during the PS5 era…
I wonder if each store will also do a second lottery.
I feel like I really won’t be able to buy it, and it’s painful.
>>70
I think it would be terrible if they switched to first-come, first-served sales immediately after the release, so I believe the lottery will continue for a while.
It’s just a personal hope, but
If I can buy it around the release date, I’ll get Shine Post…
Isn’t it more certain to line up before the store opens on the day rather than participating in a lottery based on luck…?
>>72
There are no sales at the store on that day.
>>72
Are there any stores that sell it on the release day?
>>77
EdiOn stated in the terms that if there are vacancies in the lottery by store, they will sell on a first-come, first-served basis.
I don’t think it will fall short of the capacity.
>>92
Is it that there are slots for each store instead of sending it to the store that the winners requested?
I chose a nearby store in the countryside where there are hardly any customers or employees in the game corner, I wonder how it will turn out.
>>72
Certainty… what exactly is certainty?
>>72
There are currently no stores selling on the day itself.
Could it be that Yodo is actually motivated…? That’s what they say.
>>80
This isn’t just selling goods!
>>72
Well, it’s definitely impossible to obtain…
>>72
If there is a store that claims to sell products at retail, how do you plan to defeat resellers who hire foreigners to line up for days beforehand?
I was number 50,000.
Even if they’re sold at Geo, isn’t it just a few hundred units at most…?
>>73
Some stores are predicting that 300 will fit in one location, but there’s no way that’s true!
>>79
300 would definitely be a hellish scene if it weren’t done by lottery…
>>87
Isn’t that Ito-Yokado?
>>91
I think it would be a nightmare if Ito-Yokado sold 300 without a lottery as well.
I went all the way over the hill to Geoh yesterday.
Selling in stores isn’t even at that level anymore!
Since everyone was doing it for some reason, I applied only for Yamada’s raffle because it met the conditions.
If I win, I’ll go get it and just brag about it.
It seems like they might do in-store sales at places like Yodobashi.
Are there any stores that make you wait in line these days?
I remember going to Yodobashi on the day of the DSLite release and lining up all night on the last train.
I wonder if people aren’t doing all-night lines anymore because of various discussions about it now.
>>94
I thought I saw an incredible millionaire on DLsite.
Geo has a 5-day reservation for in-store pickup, but if there’s no in-store sale and it gets canceled at the last minute, I wonder if it will be sent back to the warehouse.
GEO offered the option of online or in-store pickup, but I wonder if there was a preference for one over the other.
If I fail the second time, I’ll leave it alone for a while.
I have only received an Amazon invitation through the PS portal.
At Geos, it’s usually around 50 stores per location.
>>105
In other words, when multiplied by the number of stores, it would be more than 50,000 units.
I wonder when it will be that I can casually go to the store and buy one like the current PS5…
I’ve been doing software that I was interested in but hadn’t been able to do, and a year or two has passed in the blink of an eye.
Thanks to switch2, I have about 10 more store apps on my smartphone.
Even if it were sold in stores, wouldn’t they at least check identification?
Apart from the official ones, I tried applying to Amazon, Rakuten Books, and Edion.
Well, it’s unlikely to hit, but it’s like a festival, isn’t it?
>>116
I know it! It’s always the ones like this that hit!!
Is it the peak season for paid memberships in each company?
I should have just gone for Sofmap Premium too.
The bundle deal from Amazon reminds me of the ones from the old Dragon Quest with other games.
I wonder if it’s different from what I was told when it was made into a set.
>>118
It’s not good for matching the pictures, but it’s fine to set it up as peripheral devices.
>>118
I don’t know if it’s good or not, but one is a standard SD card for the Switch 2 that has normal demand, while the other is a bundled sale of software that seems likely to remain unsold, so there is a difference.
>>118
If I can only choose bundled options, that’s a different story.
It seems there would be no problem if it were a set where you could also choose individual items.
>>136
But after winning, I can’t just ask you to break it apart, so I’ll apply to increase my chances.
I applied on the first day, and now that I look, it’s in the 30,000s.
I wonder what percentage it would be.
For now, I applied for all the ones I could.
I feel a little uncertain if I only get the Pokémon Center since it didn’t come with Mario Kart.
>>124
Well, that’s because Pokémon and Mario are not related…
>>124
It seems like there’s a chance!
Should I have just applied at an Edion store?
I applied through the mail-order section.
For the PS5, it was somehow first-come, first-served on Amazon.
Things have changed since then.
>>128
I quickly applied for the invitation, just in case…
I feel like the place that only offers in-store pickup seems more promising.
I do feel like it might be better to wait for the limited model to come out.
I have a strong feeling that I should take action early because I don’t know when I’ll be able to buy it beyond that.
>>130
I don’t want to think about limited models or multipliers.
Since anyone can apply unconditionally, there’s no way I’ll win…
It would be good if I could buy it by the air rider.
I use Rakuten a lot, but I’ve never used Rakuten Books even once.
Damn it.
I thought it would be fine to buy it before the game I want comes out, but my desire to play Mario Kart World is bubbling up…
The new 2D Metroid game is still a long way off, so I won’t rush.
Isn’t TSUTAYA also laid-back?
I’ll just go with the official lottery until I win…
>>149
I’m also in the same situation, but I’m curious about when they’ll relax the application standards.
Last month, I bought a 300 yen sticker just for the application rights on Rakuten Books.
I just want to be able to buy it by the time the complete version of Ys 10 comes out.
>>153
If it’s Ys, you could probably play it on PS5, right?
Dusk Blood is next year, so I’ll wait slowly.
ZA will be done on the old switch.
I’m a bit torn about whether to make the application for the Nintendo Store multilingual.
It seems like there are many people thinking the same thing, so the competition might increase.
>>156
If there are plenty of people who can spend 70,000 yen without a problem, then that’s stable in its own way.
>>156
I’ve heard that the first time was about 90% accurate, so I guess a considerable number are going to be released.
People who have had dissatisfaction with the Switch’s performance, aside from the exclusive titles, want to buy it quickly, right?
I don’t know how much can be improved with the existing title, but…
>>157
The cooling system in table mode is worth buying by itself.
>>157
It seems that the scenes with a drop in frame rate and loading times, which were quite soft, will likely be improved.
The place where I applied for the lottery will notify me the day before the release date, so it’s possible that only the software will arrive.
I’m so excited!
Since our Switch is an early model, I’m just happy that the screen is getting bigger.
I’m going to stick with the official set from Mario Kart.
It’s been since my DSL days that I’ve been this flustered.
I was able to easily buy switch1 on the release date, so why is this happening…
It’s a bit late to say this, but why do I have to feel so worked up just for buying hardware…?
>>165
The entertainment has already begun.
I don’t want to waste my time getting disappointed by jumping into ridiculous multipliers or by increasing my credit cards, so I’m going to stick with just Nintendo…
There are also lotteries for the SD card set, so you should apply for that too.
Honestly, I don’t feel like I’ll hit it in a relaxed situation, so Yamada is my only lifeline.
>>172
Yamada also falls into the category of being quite lenient…
For the time being, it’s limited to app members who bought and sold games over the past year by the 23rd.
I have the highest expectations for the local chain.
https://www.falcom.co.jp/ysxpn/
The complete edition is an exclusive…
Well, I think it will probably be released on PS or Steam about a year from now.
>>173
Seriously, stop with stuff like this, like Hawaii.
I’m thinking it’ll be released after the Z-A Pokémon, but by then it should be easily available…
If Nintendo is serious about mass production like that, I can wait comfortably.
>>175
I want FOXCONN or Waddle Dee to do their best.
When is the reservation for Yodobashi Camera?
I have a Gold Point Card, but…
Because it’s rural, there are no Yodo, Bic, or Nojima.
It’s too harsh to have no choice but to rely on places like Geo or Rakuten Books.
If the next Nintendo Direct starts without being able to get a Switch 2, I’ll have to watch it feeling like I’m in hell.
I absolutely want to get it by then.
It involves my quality of life.
>>180
(It seems like the narrator is also speaking with a hellish feeling…)
>>184
(They are introducing with a bright voice, but this person can’t play…)
>>192
That’s a little too interesting.
Nintendo, lend me a console!
>>184
So I will erase my memories.
>>184
Sparkle
>>180
The narrator isn’t hitting it either, so it’s fine.
The total number of lottery applications from each company seems to exceed 3 million…
I managed to get the Yodobashi credit card in time.
If it’s said to have been held since before March, it would be a dead end.
It’s unfortunate that the people who won the official lottery can’t talk about it.
>>185
I have to prepare two, so I’m good with either mood.
It seems that the MariCar w pack will only be produced until the end of the year.
Will it reach everyone who wants it within the period?
It’s not that I want it right away, but…
I had a tough time with the PS5 because of this way of thinking, so I’m going to apply…
I’m applying for a retail lottery, but there’s no email response confirming my application, so I forget where I applied for the lottery…
I was thinking of making Pont a special way, but is it okay…
>>195
If that’s the case, it would be better to aim for other more relaxed places.
The narrator is a professional, so they’ll do their job without being affected by the fact that they didn’t hit it.
If it’s Yodobashi, I can go there no matter how strict the conditions are.
Why are you silent…?
>>199
Currently considering measures due to the overwhelming number of applications from the main branch.
The part where Sakurai personally introduces the air rider has begun.
For some reason, the narration has a subtly rough voice.
Yamada had to become a registered member of the app by March in a low-key manner.
The one that links phone numbers, birth dates, and addresses.
I’m going to buy it at Joshin… I’ve spent a total of 150,000 yen…
Yamada was told to enter an 8-digit membership number, but I only have 7 digits… that happened.
The delivery person on the day must be quite anxious…
>>212
It seems like complaints about delays will be serious.
Are Yu-Gi-Oh jokes being deleted!?
It would be nice if there was some sort of preference for first-time applicants.
If that’s the case, it seems like 2.2 million could somehow be managed by the end of the year.
