After sharing with you the comparison table with the cheapest Nintendo Switch 2 in Japan we now have more news from this country. We received them after Nintendo’s decision to suspend pre-orders of its successor in the United States. After learning everything shared in its Nintendo Direct we now have more details about Nintendo Switch 2: it’s very interesting information about the successor.

On the website we have already updated all the games announced for the console and you know there has been some controversy over the price increase of its products. It had already been announced a official camera for the GameChat feature and now we have more details about the success of the console in Japan.

You know that in Japan Nintendo will launch two versions: one identical to the international one and another more economical with a regional lock, which only allows playing Japanese titles. This version costs about $343 (49,980 yen), a significant difference. After Nintendo explained why this is the case in Japan as well as details about a government subsidy that covers the cost of the console, it seems the console is set for total success in Japan.

Japan has experienced a particularly chaotic situation regarding pre-orders. Because of this, Nintendo and several stores in Japan have implemented lottery systems to allow customers to win the opportunity to reserve the console. But now some stores have strengthened the conditions even further to control demand:

• Only allow reservations for those who belong to membership or loyalty programs.
• Some retailers require a recent minimum purchase in the store to access the reservation.
• Reservations blocked behind payment walls accessible only for certain loyal customers or those with a high purchase history.
• These restrictions aim to manage the limited number of consoles available and avoid further conflicts.
• Even with these measures, there are expectations of significant shortages after the launch.

This comes after learning the positive reactions of the Japanese people to the Mario Kart World Direct and the first promotional billboards in its country.
