Japan: Masahiro Sakurai says he got Nintendo Switch 2 via the lottery
After the previous news post… UM?!
Oh my god, are you actually serious.
The creator of one of the top selling switch games and they won’t even give him a switch 2 as a perk of the job.
He hasn’t been with Nintendo for a long time… Why should he be given preferential treatment?
Because of the amount of money he’s made Nintendo
yes he has…he LITERALLY invented kirby in 1992… what are you even talking about?
So what? He hasn’t been with Nintendo for years.
He uhh… he is making a Kirby game for the switch 2… and he’s the main director of one of the most important Nintendo ip ever…
He is a lucky man.

Haha, even Masahiro Sakurai has to queue up for a Nintendo Switch 2 like the rest of us! What a world.
This Nintendo lottery thing is so human, even Masahiro Sakurai won. Do we have a chance, I wonder?
Is there some trick to this Nintendo lottery system? Even Masahiro Sakurai got a ticket, what about us regular folks?
Nice to see even gaming legends like Sakurai have to play the lottery – guess my next AI Question Generator should be “how to win a Switch 2?” 😆
That’s wild to hear Sakurai had to go through the same lottery system as everyone else! Just goes to show how insanely popular Nintendo’s launches always are. I remember scrambling to get my original Switch back in 2017 – ended up checking stock alerts religiously for weeks.
Speaking of premium products that are hard to get, I recently came across this amexplatinum175k situation while researching credit card offers. Apparently there’s a limited-time 175,000 point bonus floating around for the Amex Platinum, but it’s tricky to find the legitimate application link. Some solid info about it can be found at https://www.amexplatinum175k.com/find-amex-platinum-175k-link – breaks down the real requirements versus the myths.
Makes you wonder what other high-demand products will have these crazy acquisition hurdles next. Anyone else have stories about chasing limited edition tech or financial products?
