I wonder if it was because I was getting complacent with around 10 lottery sites.
Incompetent Nintendo
I should have destroyed 2 million people beforehand.
>>4If you think the in-store pickup will be available, it might not be too late to do it now.
What kind of fair lottery is that?
>>5I am the result of the lottery.
I didn’t think I’d win at TSUTAYA because the conditions were too lax, but since I did win, I believe the selection is indeed strict.
Lower the price by 1000 yen every time I lose the election.
>>6If you participate in up to the 54th match, it’s free!
>>6I think this is an interesting attempt.
>>6Why does a mulligan give an advantage?
We should have had 20 million units of Powers ready just in the domestic market.
If you’re aiming for in-store purchased stock that expired around three days after release, there might be a chance.
However
However…?
It’s not just because I lost, but I’ve started to find it boring.
What’s so interesting about Mario Kart now?
>>13It would be fun to hang out with friends, but the barrier of having to coordinate with each other is too high.
Every time I am faced with the reality of being rejected, my unpleasant memories from the past are stirred just a little.
Finally advancing to the fourth round…
In the fourth round, I switched to the Mario Kart version, as expected.
There are too few reports of winning the regular edition.
>>18The Mario Kart version also doesn’t hit!
What do you mean by “now”? There has never been an open-world Mario Kart until now…
Amazon is also starting to wonder what went wrong at this point…
>>20Daily conduct
Yaaah!!
Well, it’s good that I can show off to my nephew who was engrossed in watching the Mario Kart commercial, even if I hit it big…
An unpleasant old man…
Why are there people who can’t buy it through the official Nintendo application?
The appliance store has Switch 2 in stock! I’m going to buy it from a reseller!
>>26How do you come up with that kind of idea?
>>34If it’s easy for resellers to obtain, it will become easier to buy from resellers…
Many people took the template response “We are doing our best to produce for the release date!” at face value for some reason.
“Someone mentioned that everyone might win the lottery the day before the drawing!?”
There’s no way that’s true, it’s a war from the start.
>>27Well, once the first week’s sales figures come out, it’ll probably feel nine times out of ten like, “Did we make too many right from the start…?”
There are people who won’t win until the day comes when they say that all applicants will win in this lottery as the auditions progress…
The actual shipment numbers are quite a lot higher than the first generation, aren’t they?
If you can’t buy it, why not just play Night Rain?
What percentage of those who meet the application requirements did you prepare?
I fell too.
I guess they want to extend the application period to squeeze out the online membership fees.
You will automatically be registered for the next application, but can you change the applicant halfway through?
I applied for the domestic version, but please consider me for the multilingual version from next time.
>>35I can change it.
>>35You can delete the application ticket and reapply from the application page.
>>35I switched and hit it in the third round.
However, it seems that there are still people who have been applying for the multilingual version since the first time and have not yet won.
I would like to at least know the outlook for the future…
>>37If I can understand the supply forecast, I can live a bit more peacefully.
>>43In this day and age, how can I carelessly put something like that out there…?
You’re thinking like an idiot because you’ve fallen too much.
Scary
It’s frustrating that they’re running commercials for something I can’t buy!
Please stop the automatic continuing of the lottery.
Increase the chances of me hitting even a little.
If you’re not changing it on the release day, then I don’t need Mario Kart.
I didn’t expect that 2.2 million people would apply after I set such ridiculously sweet conditions, but to make excuses about it is just foolish.
>>45Despite being told that such a strict Nintendo has no intention of selling to the casual market, now that it doesn’t hit, this is what we get.
>>52I thought it was too lenient even back then, you know?
But I thought Nintendo had a grasp on the numbers and had prepared enough to meet these conditions, but when I opened the lid, this is what I found.
>>45I feel like it’s okay to think it, but just don’t say it and keep quiet.
Well, I guess it would be good if it would hit at least by the time FromSoftware’s new release comes out.
I was thinking of replaying Tears of the Kingdom on Switch 2 until the new FromSoftware game comes out, but those plans seem to be falling apart.
>>46I was planning to buy Elden while waiting for Dusk Blood and play multiplayer with the Tarnished who will likely come in for the first time on Switch 2, but…
The weather is starting to look a bit suspicious.
>>3How miserable.
If I win the third lottery, I won’t come on the release date, right?
>>3If this happens, there’s no way we won’t handle the exchange…
Do I have to keep signing up online until I hit it?
>>53It’s okay if it gets cut off after applying, but you have to re-enter when you win and want to buy.
I wonder what that atmosphere was like when it seemed like everyone would win in the first lottery.
It was strange, wasn’t it?
>>56When I opened the lid, there were about five times more applications for the lottery than I expected…
>>56Was there really such an atmosphere…?
>>68I found it.
Especially, the situation was terrible.
>>68Just wishful thinking.
>>68A manga artist created an image saying, “Everyone will win because Nintendo knows the number of people who meet the conditions,” and it went viral.
>>68The president confidently said that he has prepared enough.
>>176(I didn’t say that)
>>180
There’s a source too.
>>194It seems you haven’t said it.
>>194Nikkei is the source.
>>180I’m telling you to die.
Die quickly.
>>204You should stop saying “die” so casually.
>>225It’s okay to go.
>>56Those who believed it are fools, right?
If they had even a little common sense, they wouldn’t come up with the idea that everyone can win.
>>70I think most of it was said as a joke, knowing the facts.
What I really thought was, well…
It would have been nice to have Course A, which anyone can apply for, and Course B, which requires 5000 hours of online play over 5 years.
Can I upgrade the domestic version to the multilingual version by paying the difference?
Expressions of “that was unexpected” are generally a bad move, not just limited to the thread image.
I don’t think the conditions that cannot be changed at the time of the announcement are easy.
Honestly, most of the people who are screaming are just going along with the vibe, right?
Well, putting aside the fact that he lost, it can be said that missing the outlet plaza was his own mistake.
There were quite a few voices saying that the application requirements weren’t met, so I thought the hurdles might be higher than expected…
>>67Echo chamber
Why are there so many people overcoming such a high hurdle…?
I think so.
>>69It’s not high at all, I was surprised it was too loose.
So I was told to prepare around 3 million or so.
An official who can send surveys to all Nintendo accounts.
There’s no way I could misread the number of applicants so greatly…
I just dragged out the timing to apologize until the day before the lottery.
I wonder what that atmosphere was…
If you think even a little, you would think it’s strange, right?
>>75You probably weren’t thinking clearly.
“It was supposed to be a story like ‘This time, we’re going to do our best to meet the demand since the Switch originally had a supply shortage that led to rampant reselling,’ but it hasn’t really changed much.”
Even though there were 330,000 in the first week on Switch.
I stopped applying, so my chances have increased a bit.
The theory that everyone will win is based on the desire that Nintendo must be setting conditions to minimize the number of non-winners, so it’s pretty flawed.
I don’t want to switch to the multilingual version that I probably won’t use after coming this far.
There’s no way everyone would win; that’s just ridiculous, and there were probably hardly any serious people saying that…
That said, there were fewer winners than I thought…! But there were some.
I thought that with those application requirements, there would be at most a million applicants.
>>85Thinking about it, since Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has sold over 6 million copies in Japan alone, there’s a possibility that that many people might be applying.
If you win more than two, you can just pass them on to relatives, right?
I was a joke back in those days when I thought so!
Being dropped three times in a row makes me feel like I’m inferior as a person, and it’s painful.
>>87I missed 13 times, but I hit it in the very end, so it all balanced out.
>>87The ideas are so far-fetched that it’s scary.
>>94At least from Nintendo’s perspective, I am recognized as a poor customer.
>>98You should go to sleep before getting too into your game console.
>>102There’s no gaming console that gets me excited.
>>98Is it wrong to be treated like a bad customer when I’m continuing to participate in the lottery because I want Nintendo hardware?
>>117Well, I won’t say that’s the case, but there are certainly terrible customers.
>>98This is the opposite.
Good or bad, almost all of the reservations depend on luck.
There is nothing beyond the participation requirements that is being asked.
However, winning brings a great sense of peace to the heart.
I’ve been told a lot, but the amount I prepared was honestly excessively high; there was just too much demand.
Why are you so off even though you understand?
Congratulations to the winners!
I want it by the time I become an air rider.
I bought Tears of the Kingdom on release day, but I hadn’t started it until now, so I’m looking forward to playing it for the first time on the Switch 2.
Well, I haven’t been able to purchase the essential hardware.
>>95It’s the same as me.
…I’m sorry.
That aside, there is a limit to transport capacity, so there is nothing that can be done beyond a certain extent.
>>96Then I’ll take it a week after the release.
>>99I wonder if the people who won in the third drawing will receive it like that?
>>96Everyone knows that, really, aren’t you stupid?
Whose excuse was Ijuin’s hit report from last night directed towards?
I don’t want it anymore.
>>100I didn’t want it from the beginning, but I got it.
I’ll win because there’s the winning announcement tomorrow.
The flow of sour Switch 2 software.
>>104It’s bitter, isn’t it?
It has probably exceeded one million in initial shipments, so considering the history of games up to now, it is definitely an unprecedented amount.
It seems that the Air Rider will be released within the year, so it’s probably impossible.
Even if everyone can be selected, it is physically impossible to deliver to everyone on the release date.
In the end, a competition over the delivery date was necessary.
What we’re actually doing now is that.
With 2.2 million applications, the winning rate is around 10% to 20%, which isn’t that different from the 330,000 units of the last Switch.
>>110Is it stupid to compare only direct sales with the total shipment volume in the country?
In the first place, early adopters should be favored like heavy users.
In Europe, they are doing invitation-only sales, so why isn’t Japan following that?
Why didn’t the people who got rejected apply to Amazon…?
>>112Aren’t you worried about whether it will really reach you even if it hits?
>>116It’s much better than not hitting at all.
>>112The Switch 2 only has just over 60,000.
>>112Why do you think I haven’t applied?
>>112Why do you think I haven’t done it?
I want the new Switch 2 quickly because the one I have now is making weird sounds, but I can’t seem to win it at all…
The one-year online subscription is just cutting off users who prefer to play offline games.
Not strict at all.
Those who are going to join for a few years are going to buy 2 anyway, so get it ready.
It seems that there are few without Mario Kart.
It looks like that everywhere.
>>118Bic Camera announced the winners’ numbers for the secondary round.
The store I applied to had about four times as many winners for the bundled edition as for the individual item.
>>118On the contrary, I wonder why there are so few without Mario Kart.
>>143Considering the existence of the domestic version, I feel that they want to sell a lot of units to develop the market.
>>143Marika sold this much at launch! Because I want to.
>>172You probably don’t need to do that for it to be bought…
It’s useless to worry about what people who didn’t win will say in advance.
>>121At least if the president hadn’t expressed their feelings, I wouldn’t have criticized it.
While I’m continually missing out, I can’t help but feel down thinking about all the people who are hitting the jackpot.
The current situation where multiple applications across different places are taken for granted, not just for Switch2, needs to be addressed somehow.
I guess I have no choice, I’ll buy it for 100,000.
>>124Wasn’t it the case that platforms like Mercari and Yahoo Auction prohibited the listing of Switch 2?
>>134It’s just not good to sell something that’s out of stock.
>>134There are lots of listings from resale shops on Yahoo Shopping…
I thought, “Hey, they should crack down on that.”
>>134The Mercari thing is mostly pointless, but it does have the effect of filtering out stupid people who can’t read this kind of text.
Since they said they would prepare enough quantity to meet the demand for the initial shipment, I just assumed they would have around a million ready.
Instead of being rejected, make it a win for the next round of production.
Cherish the users who have applied from the very beginning.
Since I can’t get it on the release day, I’ve started thinking that it’s fine as long as I can buy it by the end of the year when Mario Kart version ends.
I can’t play Rune Factory because I can’t buy a Switch.
I feel like I’ve lost if I buy the Switch version.
>>139In any case, you’re losing, aren’t you?
It’s top-notch in terms of promoting and making it unclear when you don’t open emails to find out if you’ve lost, even though you can’t buy it.
As expected of a Kyoto company.
I really want them to sell it through an official auction format.
Even if it’s a little more expensive, it will be easier for people who want to buy it quickly.
I could endure it because the launch isn’t really to my taste.
If it were Zelda, she would have been spitting blood.
Well, maybe it’s good that I was able to avoid the initial lot?
I’m starting to understand the feelings of the reverse anti…
The time from the announcement to the release was definitely too short… Well, I was happy when the information came out back then though.
>>151There is a limit to how much inventory one can accumulate, after all.
Stop running the Switch 2 commercials like it’s a hype.
In today’s world, it’s like AC running a commercial saying “Let’s eat more rice!” or McDonald’s airing a commercial for a Chiikawa Happy Set.
>>152It was also featured in the station pillar display advertisements.
If I report someone who has multiple Switch2 wins to Nintendo, will anything happen?
>>154Why don’t you give it a try?
I couldn’t help but laugh at the idiot who officially said, “Most people haven’t been able to buy it, so please delay the release of all the software!!!!11”
It seems like you think you haven’t been found out, huh?
It was better to make the conditions stricter and gradually expand.
>>160If that’s the case, isn’t an electronics retail store that type?
>>160I couldn’t help but be surprised that more people gathered than expected, so many will be disqualified! It’s simply astonishing.
It’s not like once you set the conditions, you can never change them again.
There are too many people who have fallen into darkness.
>>162After the first round, the shipping numbers will drop sharply, and it’s clear that the competition will increase even more from now on; the future looks very bleak.
It seems like it’s mostly self-produced.
Nintendo’s direct sales can control the lottery eligibility conditions (number of people).
→ (If you want to) you can narrow it down to the same number of people as the preparation count.
→! Then it might be that all applicants will win this time!!
An utterly optimistic theory.
Well, the launch isn’t anything significant, so I guess it’s already priced in…
Seeing rude people makes me feel delighted.
>>167It’s because my heart is dirty that I can feel joyful.
>>170You’re going out of your way to come to the rejection thread and say that… that’s pretty wicked.
>>178Is this the losers’ thread?
>>183Well, the text of the thread is like this.
>>185I thought it was an anti-Nintendo thread.
>>190“I can’t be an ally until I can buy it, at least.”
If I can buy it, I’ll change my attitude.
The theory that people who couldn’t buy it on the release day have a 0% chance of buying it at the secret exhibition.
Amazon shipping instructions completed.
I guess you’re going to work hard.
I think that the longer the time that passes since the release date, the less interest there will be in Mario Kart.
>>173How long do you think 8 and 7 have continued to sell?
>>173That wasn’t the case with BotW.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has consistently ranked in weekly sales charts since its release.
Most people probably think that is not the case.
If it doesn’t hit, it can become this ugly, huh?
So that’s why it didn’t hit, right?
I sold this much! …Nothing.
Everyone will buy it together anyway, Mario Kart…
>>181Um… I won’t buy it, though…
Please lose interest.
That’s enough, I don’t need Switch2 anymore.
When I looked closely at the face, it’s ugly, haha.
Stop automatic updates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Only hit those who are motivated.
>>188I seriously don’t understand why they don’t reset it once.
I don’t plan to buy from direct sales because I hit it at another store.
I hope you can shake off at least one person from the group that thinks canceling is a hassle or seems to have forgotten about it.
>>193I don’t really understand how to cancel in the first place.
Well, I probably won’t buy it even if I win, so it shouldn’t have any effect.
>>193It’s better to make a decision to avoid the site crashing due to concentrated access during reapplication, right?
The impact of the displayed sales numbers showing 30,000 for the Mario Kart version and 600 for the regular version was quite significant!
I haven’t prepared the regular edition at all.
>We sold this much!? Nothing at all.Are we all going to buy Mario Kart together anyway?It’s strange, honestly, for people to buy the Switch and Switch 2 but not buy Mario Kart.
Oh! It’s an awkward thread!
So sad—so fun~
Most of the people in this thread are pretending to have lost even though they have actually won, just like me.
This is true.
>>195Don’t let your heart be devastated.
>>201It might actually be the good users who enjoy going with the flow.
>>195If that were the case, how great it would have been.
