Whoa, okay, so here’s the deal. Nintendo’s big boss, Shuntaro Furukawa, got up and apologized because folks can’t get their hands on the new Switch 2. Imagine that – wanting a thing and it just, like, not existing for you? Annoying. They’re working on it, though. Apparently, the demand is wild, like everyone and their grandma wants one.
At this meeting (wish I was there, honestly), Furukawa was like, “Hey, sorry our shiny new toy is hard to find.” I mean, even shareholders are grumbling cause, well, no Switch 2 for them and their buddies yet. Super awkward, right?
Over in Japan, they tried this lottery system on the My Nintendo Store. Picture this: you sign up just hoping luck’s on your side. Over 2.2 million folks applied, and surprise, surprise, most didn’t win. Furukawa even put a message up on that social platform, X – kind of gutsy if you ask me – saying, “Sorry, maybe next time you’ll get lucky.”
They’ve done four drawings already but, oh boy, still can’t keep up. Crazy, isn’t it? Supposedly, though, stores are finally getting some on the shelves without all the hoopla.
Meanwhile, Nintendo’s pumping out games like Donkey Kong Bananza and whatever. Sounds like Christmas morning, but it’s July. The prices? Yeah, a bit steep – just shy of a small gold nugget in the US at $449.99. But hey, it’s global, so wherever you are, if you’ve got the cash and find one, maybe snag it? Good luck, soldier.
