Mobile Game TutorialGaming News'Multi-Language' Switch 2 In Japan Feels Like An Anti-Scalper Strategy
Nintendo's Switch 2 launch in Japan features a unique pricing and region-locking strategy. The standard Japanese model, retailing at ¥49,980 (approximately $339 USD), is limited to Japanese language and games only. This contrasts sharply with the multi-language version, priced at ¥69,980 (approximately $475 USD), available exclusively through My Nintendo Store in Japan. This multi-language model is the same as the international release.
Nintendo's explanation cites regional differences in decision-making. However, this move is widely interpreted as a countermeasure against scalpers who have profited from the region-free nature of the original Switch, reselling Japanese consoles internationally at inflated prices. By region-locking the cheaper model, Nintendo aims to curb this practice. The higher price point of the multi-language Switch 2 in Japan also aligns it with the PlayStation 5's pricing.
The multi-language Switch 2 in Japan is currently available only through a lottery system, with winners announced on April 24th, ahead of the June 5th release date. While this strategy may seem unusual, it ensures that the standard, region-free console will still be available internationally.

Rockstar May Have 'Upgraded' Lucia And Jason's Faces In 'GTA 6' TrailerMay 09, 2025 am 11:00 AMPlayers have an interesting point: Jason and Lucia have a different look than the original trailer in the latest trailer. They believe that the character's facial model has changed to some extent, not only with better visual effects, but also with more attractiveness. Is this statement correct? One problem is that 80% of the original GTA 6 trailer was random shots from Miami and Leonida, with relatively little attention to Lucia and Jason. Jason barely appeared in the trailer, which focused on the plot of Lucia's release from prison. While the latest trailer provides more footage about the two of them, Rockstar has also released a complete news package containing their high-definition images. I think this
