If you’ve ever wondered what the infamous “lotteries” for buying a Nintendo Switch in Japan look like, well… there you go! Unfortunately, those lotteries have been a common occurence in the past few months, as demand far outpace supply. Needless to say, they’re not going away any time soon!

Nintendo Minute

Here’s the latest episode of Nintendo Minute, which happens to be about… Splatoon 2. Bet you didn’t see that one coming!

Happy Splatoon 2 launch day Inklings! We’re wrapping up INK-credible Summer today with a video all about the clothes, shoes and hats you get in-game to not only look your best but also play your best. We also have some IRL Splatoon gear if you want to look your best outside of the game too. We hope you’re all enjoying the game and hopefully we’ll see some of you online! As always, thanks so much for watching and we’ll see you next week.
