“Switch 2” Preventing Illegal Listings – Nintendo collaborates with three companies: Mercari, LINE, and Yahoo, to prevent illegal listings of “Switch 2.”
I was doing it during Pokémon card games too, but I wonder if it had any effect.
>>2None
The reason is that those who are buying in bulk are not using flea market sites but are instead taking them to Chinese buyback shops.
Do your best…
If possible, please try to pick up the production speed as well…
Within a reasonable range…
The government should take action.
Mercari completely ignored Sony.
I’m looking forward to it this time as well.
Why does Nintendo have to do something like this?
>>6Even Mercari probably doesn’t want to do things like this.
Impossible snail.
This one is the only one missing from Mercari!
This will only result in losses for Nintendo.
Mercari is truly like a black market since it doesn’t prohibit listings.
>>10No stock sales are not allowed! I did it!
>>10Is it really possible to prohibit the listing of specific items?
Unless it’s something like illegal drugs or currency.
>>135The mask is ready.
>>141Masks were created because the government regulated them.
In this case, I want to hear about whether it’s possible to infringe on individual ownership rights without any laws in place.
>>141I think I can handle something that is really a matter of life and death.
No matter what you do, it’s impossible with the current state of the game console.
>>141Conversely, even if everyday necessities end up in that situation, they can only be restricted for a limited time, so it’s really tough…
>>141The country said, “If you’re going out, wear a mask!” so it was able to impose a ban.
>>1It’s working, it’s working.
Huh? Didn’t you write Mercari first?
>>12I’m writing, but it’s not prohibited.
I guess it will be traded on X like drugs.
Quickly establish laws for resale as well.
There are problems with liquidity at the national level.
>>16If you do something like that, it will trouble people who are making a living through reselling.
There will be families who are left homeless.
>>57Just work normally.
>>57Work seriously.
>>57Isn’t it good to work seriously?
>>57They can die, those guys.
>>57The Logic of Parasites
>>16If you make something poorly, it could potentially interfere with the work of trading companies like btb, so it might be difficult.
In a broad sense, what I’m doing could be considered reselling, after all.
I will deny everything about you. Now’s the time, Nintendo… KITA――(ﾟ∀ﾟ)――!!
Here are some useful slang terms.
The fact that others are blocking listings means that Mercari will be flooded with resales of Switch 2 on the release day.
>>19It feels like Mercari in terms of movement…
Yahoo and Rakuten handle Switch2 as a product in their own retail operations.
It is more profitable to cooperate with Nintendo to sell genuine hardware and software.
Mercari’s job is to take fees from resale items, so they have zero intention of cooperating, but since a discussion was held, they will perform.
Is preventing fraudulent listings a form of selling without inventory?
Is there nothing that can be done after the release?
As expected of the black market that sold fish Yukichi.
It’s on a different level than others.
So then why didn’t you do it during the Switch era?
>>23Isn’t it because it hasn’t been that bad in recent years?
>>23Isn’t it the case that they made adjustments before the release of Switch 2 based on the experience with Switch 1?
Yahoo accounts can be frozen when transactions occur.
It seems that Mercari doesn’t have any specific measures in place for now.
Back when the Switch was released, it was hard to get, but there wasn’t any reselling going on…
>>26Which world are you from?
>>30Who are you from what world?
Rather, do it before being told, three companies.
How am I supposed to buy it after failing everything!?
Well, I wasn’t planning to buy from resellers in the first place…
>>32What are you getting anxious about when the release date hasn’t even arrived yet?
After the release date, production will gradually increase and store sales will also begin.
If there are still people plotting to resell despite the pressure up to this point, they must be die-hard Nintendo haters.
>>33Someone who has no interest in games at all and doesn’t care about the products, locations, or bothering others as long as they can legally make money.
>>33I think there are quite a few people who think, “To be blunt, should I make some extra money since I have some left over?”
Not everyone who wants a Switch 2 is buying it for Nintendo’s sake.
Mercari was a hotbed for the black market.
As expected, it’s Jimoty.
When do we leave?
This means it’s a one-choice option, Mercari, right?
That’s why other sites can’t compete.
Modern Looting
After it collapsed, why was that allowed? That’s how it will be evaluated.
What should an ordinary dad who secured a few cars with his reselling debut do?
>>38You can just sell the remaining items on Mercari.
>>38Because it’s not normal from the moment of debut, I want them to die.
Mobaoku-san! Please!
Amazon is casually listing items without inventory.
>>40I never thought it would become the worst lawless zone back in the day…
If it wasn’t out of stock, it would just be sold on Mercari if it can be sold there.
Back in the Switch era, I wouldn’t believe that threads were created with titles like “It’s amazing that just selling it directly to Chinese vendors makes a profit…”
>>44That’s a PS5, right…
Let’s make a fuss after the results come in post-release.
Mercari should collaborate with various places regardless of Nintendo.
>>47I shouldn’t have been appearing on something like Project X…
No one at that time expected that this would be the catalyst for Jimoty to rise to the number one flea market site.
Rather, the initial lot may be unstable, so buying later won’t have any downsides other than not being able to join in on the conversation.
Yahoo and Rakuten are just one of the services they do on the side, and they care about their public image.
There’s nothing else but Mercari…
Mercari is like a business that rips off resellers, so it can’t be helped.
The fact that they agreed not to allow stockless resale before the release means that once the release date has passed, they will ship out a lot.
It means creating a situation where reselling doesn’t have any value.
Jimoty is used when throwing away bulky waste.
It’s a stolen goods market.
The appearance is different.
I want to know quickly how effective the measures against resale overseas will be.
>>55Because of the weak yen, it probably won’t be profitable to resell overseas fundamentally… When the PS5 came out, the dollar-yen rate was 103 yen, you know?
>>68Isn’t it more profitable to sell to foreigners with the weak yen?
>>76Start over from compulsory education.
Even if Mercari goes under, something similar will just come out.
Let’s crush reselling itself with the law.
If we don’t align our steps with this, the company’s image will be diminished, they say.
The originally trashy image of Mercari can’t get any worse.
>>61Yahoo’s main business is advertising and they value their image, while Rakuten’s core business is e-commerce, so they cannot afford to damage their relationship with Nintendo.
Mercari also said here, “While Yahoo and Rakuten reached an agreement with Nintendo, only Mercari opposed and left.”
When news like that spreads, it definitely takes a toll.
>>73If it’s a fragile ball, wouldn’t it be more purified by now?
Speaking of which, it seems that Yahoo has also banned the resale of goods in the US starting today.

Kill the Amazon marketplace too.
>>64Amazon operates according to American laws, so unless Japan makes laws, regulation is virtually impossible.
As you know, Amazon is a damn company that is evading corporate taxes that it should originally be paying while doing business in Japan.
Amazon should be regulated too…
Mercari is just evil to the end.
But, you know, there are people who are grateful to be able to buy things cheaply on Mercari…
I wish that everyone at Mercari would die.
The release date seems like it will have intense competition among resellers.
There are too many people who treat ethics like garbage and just want to make money! There’s really nothing we can do about it anymore.
Because it will definitely be filled with troubles.
I think it’s better for the site not to deal with it.
>>72I want fees more than trust!
>>72I feel a strong belief that credibility and trust are of no use in the stolen goods market.
This way, no one will be able to get it on the release date.
Well, depending on the genre, there are really peaceful and practical aspects to black markets…
>>77That said, accounts that engage in peaceful and practical business activities usually have accounts on Yahoo Auctions as well…
Well, those crazy people who have already stockpiled inventory through reservations can just sell it through personal transactions or second-hand stores and recover their costs, so there’s no damage.
Those who buy in bulk won’t decrease unless they face severe consequences, like having their family (including pets) massacred.
>>78Scary…
>>83It turns out that those who overly criticize resellers are really abnormal people.
It’s impossible to strictly regulate resale using laws, so give up.
At most, it only binds them by the terms of use.
Isn’t resale just not allowed for unauthorized listings?
>>81You can’t stop there.
Well, it might be possible to stop within the scope of the app, but it’s a bit unreasonable.
>>81Mercari is…
Yahoo prohibits the handling of Switch2 itself.
Well, I’m looking forward to Mercari on the day.
>>82Trash is coming out one after another to be listed in code!
It’s great that we were able to crush a major marketplace like Mercari, but there are still plenty of escape routes.
Mercari only seems to listen when it comes to mask reselling.
Was that even prohibited by law in the first place?
Processing multiple hits without any blood or tears!
>>95You can transfer it to family, friends, or acquaintances at the regular price or in some other way.
>>95Well then, let’s sell it at the regular price.
>>95Isn’t it strange to buy more than the necessary number?
>>108Well, there were lottery systems after winning where cancellations weren’t allowed at places like FamilyMart, so I can’t say much stronger than that.
Mercari is expanding its business, but it’s only getting involved in things that feel like virtual operations.
The most likely idea is to register it as lip balm and include a Nintendo Switch 2 as a bonus.
I guess there will be people selling just the boxes too.
I’m looking forward to it!
Since Mercari was promoting reselling while pretending not to know after Sony approached them about “taking measures if requested” during the PS5 situation, I expect them to make some ridiculous moves this time as well.
>>100The response from SIE during the PS5 era was “protest.”
From Mercari’s perspective, we are just providing a market in accordance with the property rights guaranteed by the Constitution, aren’t we?
The context is that SIE could only remain silent after responding.
At that time, it should have been managed in a way similar to Nintendo by framing it as “negotiation.”
>>111What kind of person does the thief city think it is?
>>117It’s an ordinary company that is properly engaged in legitimate business (not regulated by law).
>>111Nintendo is essentially protesting as well.
It’s not like I gave them candy on Mercari or anything.
>>151Isn’t it completely different between sending a protest letter and being ignored, and having representatives from both companies gather for a meeting?
>>111Well, in the end, Mercari’s stance hasn’t changed at all…
In the past, I often saw people here praising Mercari as the only god and disparaging other flea market sites, but its true nature has really been revealed now.
Mercari’s commercials are vulgar and reveal a lack of taste, so I am not surprised at all.
I wish they would prohibit buying and selling at prices above the retail price on flea market sites for a few years already.
I wonder if there will be things that have Switch1 inside.
There are probably complaints about the services provided by each company while using them.
Even if you haven’t used it, the bad reputation spreading this much is overwhelmingly because of Mercari.
There will definitely be scams where products are advertised with code words or censors, but different items are actually shipped.
If you get called out for something, just respond with “Isn’t the Switch prohibited?” and the person who bought it will be getting what they deserve.
It seems that while no-stock listings are prohibited, regular reselling is still quite possible?
>>109Mercari is like that.
Two other companies are prohibited from listing.
>>112Isn’t it just the prohibition of no-stock listings before the release date on Rakuma?
>>109Mercari is like that.
>>109Only Mercari is that.
Other companies have been prohibited from listing the Switch2 for a while, which is why there is so much talk about it.
>>116I don’t know until when, but banning the listings themselves is really something…
>>121Well, if we can somehow manage the pre-stock without inventory, I’m sure things will change.
>>116Emotionally, I think other companies did well, but if I think about it logically, it’s really outrageous to prohibit it…
Since it’s the Nintendo Legal Department, I hope they let Mercari swim around deliberately and then definitely go in for the kill once there are clear disadvantages.
I didn’t know Mercari dealt with things other than gummies.
Which country is Mercari from? China?
This is just a drop in the bucket.
If you don’t legislate, nothing has meaning.
Mercari doesn’t respond or take action even when I ask for help with a return scam.
There was a case that finally started moving after being exposed on social media.
Well, since there are probably no used items for goods that haven’t even been released for sale yet.
Yahoo Auctions has a long history of taking measures, but Mercari continues to be a social evil that acts as a marketplace for stolen goods, so I have no desire to use it.
>>124I’m not saying Mercari is good, but they’re over-glorifying Yahoo.
>>126It’s not so much beautification as it feels like Mercari doesn’t even bother to pose.
>>139This time, we can no longer sell it in auction format!
Yahoo! is the only one doing it properly; the others are just saying the obvious, which is that they will crack down on the resale of out-of-stock products before they are released.
Just go ahead and make it mandatory to register My Number cards for online sales.
Manage fraud and tax evasion; just this will make a big difference.
If it is clear that reselling for the purpose of flipping is expected, it should be made illegal as a banned resale item by law.
The Japanese manufacturing industry is dying across the board, so if the government doesn’t support it now, it will end up like China did 30 years ago.
But Nintendo is not a member of the Keidanren…
Just looking at flea market sites doesn’t lead to any real measures; it feels more like a pose that suggests they are taking measures.
This is incredible, Nintendo! I’ve been saying that all along, and now I’m teasing a thread with screenshots from Mercari and Rakuma on the release day.
Like the Reiko figure episode of Kochikame.
There might be someone who sells it with a description like a spy’s code.
In the end, if there are no buyers for resale rather than resellers who are difficult to regulate by law, everything would have thumbnails.
You should do so since you can defend yourself.
>>140It’s the resellers who hoard unnecessary items first.
In the end, it’s because of those guys that it doesn’t reach everyone.
>>154If there are no people trying to buy at resale prices, there will be no resellers.
>>154Since it is currently difficult to regulate that, there’s no choice but to cut off the demand.
>>177Acquiring what you want without sparing any expense is evil; that’s what capitalism is all about, isn’t it?
>>140I’m sorry, but when I miss out on prize figures or limited reservation figures, I immediately check Mercari…
Oh, so Amazon won’t cooperate.
As expected, there are times when it is slandered as an evil corporation in various parts of the world.
>>143Amazon itself is doing things like a reseller.
>>153It’s like, are you serious with those overpriced listings of Daiso products on the marketplace…?
It seems difficult to improve the law, but the ticket has been adjusted.
I can’t help but feel that if we raise our voices, we might eventually see some action.
>>144Wasn’t it the case that the tickets were intervened because of something like the Expo or the World Cup?
Although it is no longer necessary to list products that are physically in hand after release, it is still for the purpose of buying and selling.
There’s no way to regulate that.
In the end, have there ever been any instances where we’ve actually managed to stop resellers as we’ve been urging all along?
I thought it was impressive that Yahoo responded to that, especially since there probably aren’t any significant benefits to cooperating.
>>152It’s a good opportunity to promote that we are clean.
Mercari has a track record of ignoring counterfeit brands for several years until administrative guidance was given.
Isn’t Yahoo, or SoftBank, a major business partner of Nintendo?
In this instance, only Yahoo is unusual, while the others are as usual.
I thought that the main reselling of Switch would be on Amazon and by Chinese resellers, but I guess it might be tough for Chinese resellers with the Japanese version.
>>159To be honest, I feel like a motivated Chinese person could probably overcome the language barrier.
>>168“Hacking software is a piece of cake, isn’t it…”
>>159They’re going to modify it illegally anyway.
>>171If other language data is actually included in the Japanese version, it might be possible, but I wonder…
>>183Those guys can’t even use 2-byte characters, so it’s just a normal thing for them to randomly include languages instead of translating… it’s an unpleasant kind of ease, though…
>>183Language data is unnecessary, and it’s like the old region lock where the store can only open supported languages. To be honest, if someone is going to do something illegal like modding, they probably won’t use the store, so it really has no meaning.
W-What… what should I do with these 6 secured Switch 2 units…!
>>161Return it.
>>161Take that!
>>161Wouldn’t it be good to just cancel it?
You haven’t made the payment yet, have you? Credit card.
>>161Wait until the release date to go to Mercari.
Or a large-scale reseller like Rudea will buy it.
>>161After it arrives at your home, you can resell it on Mercari for any amount you like.
Recently, resellers flock to everything, so the country needs to take some action.
Lotteries and prizes are definitely cheaper on Mercari for me.
>>174Random is tough impala.
Unlike Sony, it’s God.
>>176I’m scared that there are a lot of idiots who seriously say this.
Honestly, I think it’s quite impressive that this hasn’t caused an uproar; the people have been tamed too much by Nintendo.
In short, it’s saying don’t buy from anyone other than us and the partners we supply to, which is pretty arrogant.
Those who missed out on your lottery sales have no choice but to buy from Mercari or similar platforms.
It’s amazing that Nintendo is able to crush reselling, but to what extent is that actually true?
Read the policies of Mercari and Rakuma carefully.
>>182Perhaps this type of layer is so shallow that it is thought to be difficult to read that far.
Honestly, I think there are people here who have secured multiple ones and are using the surplus for some extra pocket money.
>>184It is wrong to win multiple times in a place where only one is good.
It’s not just exchanged through a mysterious code.
If you win the two buttons worth 60,000 yen, the Switch 2 will arrive.
