After failing to secure a Nintendo Nintendo Switch 2 in three consecutive lotteries, popular voice actor Yuichi Nakamura – also known as the familiar narrator for "Nintendo Direct" – became a hot topic again when the console officially launched. On June 4th, he dropped a cryptic screenshot that had fans buzzing with speculation about whether he finally got one.
Well, the wait is over! Yesterday (June 7th), Nakamura officially went live on his personal YouTube channel, declaring he had finally gotten his hands on a Nintendo Switch 2. He's officially out of the "lottery loser" club and even spilled the beans on how he snagged it.
During the stream, he spilled all the details: despite failing three consecutive Switch 2 lotteries and feeling utterly dejected, he unexpectedly received a notification from a "certain electronics retailer" confirming his order! Talk about going from hell to heaven! He thanked all his concerned fans and apologized for the social media teasing, explaining he wanted to share the big news and celebrate with everyone live.
He immediately jumped into the latest title, "Mario Kart World," during the stream, diving straight into the thrill of the new console.
As soon as the news broke, fans flooded social media with congratulations. After all, many had seen his disheartened posts about the lottery failures, so it was a pleasant surprise to see him finally get his hands on one.
Of course, some fans had mixed feelings, lamenting, "So he actually bought it..." and humorously declaring, "The Nakamura Squad can finally disband!" A truly bittersweet moment.
Nevertheless, huge congrats to Yuichi Nakamura for finally getting his coveted Switch 2! Looks like those "friends" he jokingly broke up with can finally come back into the fold, LOL.
