Have you tried your luck in the Nintendo Switch 2 purchase lottery yet? With pre-orders now open, gamers worldwide are diving headfirst into the lottery frenzy. Even veteran gaming community Bahamut's online store has already run two rounds of lotteries.
Naturally, lottery results always bring a mix of joy and disappointment. One Japanese gamer, Boston (@BostonGame777), took to his X account to share his recent experience.
"I told my son there was a chance we wouldn't get a Switch 2, and he looked really sad.
'But the big brother who always narrates the Nintendo Direct broadcasts didn't win the purchase lottery either,' I told my son. He then replied, 'Oh... well, if that's the case... then it can't be helped...' and reluctantly accepted it.
It's a shame, but my son seemed relieved. Thank you, Yuichi Nakamura!"
That's right, the legendary voice actor Yuichi Nakamura not only narrates the Nintendo Direct broadcasts but is also widely recognized by both the industry and fans as a hardcore gamer.
The fact that Nakamura-san missed out on the purchase lottery has even become a scorching hot topic among Japanese netizens...
Nakamura himself was absolutely devastated about missing out on the purchase lottery. He didn't just post multiple times; he even declared he'd "break up" with any friends who *did* win. While mostly in jest, of course, any industry insider who dared to tell Nakamura they'd won was met with a shocked "Eh?!" from him, followed by a screenshot of them being blocked. LOL.
And this utterly crushed Nakamura-san unintentionally became a beacon of solace (??) for a child's broken heart. Many netizens responded with comments like, "He's practically a savior!" and "We should build a shrine for Nakamura-san!"
It seems Nakamura-san's personal pain of not winning truly became a source of comfort for countless netizens...
All jokes aside, no matter what, it's definitely more fun to actually win the purchase lottery, right?
