In the wake of the Japanese My Nintendo Store’s massively oversubscribed first lottery for the Switch 2 that received a staggering 2.2 million applicants, all of Japan’s major electronics retailers have been holding their own pre-order lotteries for the popular next-gen console.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is generating enormous preorder interest in Japan, where the initial batch has sold out.

The launch of Nintendo Switch 2 preorders turned into digital chaos overnight. Preorders for the new gaming system officially opened at midnight ET across several major retailers, leaving buyers frustrated as websites crashed and inventory vanished within minutes.
