If you've been anywhere near the Internet in the last few hours, we think you've already seen the most recent announcement. Animal Crossing-themed Switch. It's just not the most beautiful thing you have and so on did you see?
However, if you can't afford the latest model, or if you want to pretend you have it without paying for it, it looks like Nintendo has you covered. On its official Japanese site, Nintendo is contribution duplicate box without receiving within 550 yen (approx. £ 4 / $ 5). As if once we were suddenly placed inside a strange creation, each one, based in Ikea, you would have to collect the item yourself when it arrived; thanks Nintendo gives the instructions:
At first, you might find yourself wondering what on Earth has Nintendo doing such a thing, but it actually makes a lot of sense. For collectors, having pristine boxes in unlimited consoles is a must – just check eBay to see how many empty boxes are sold daily – so why not invest in that? Nintendo actually did the same thing with Spatoato 2 in 2017.
Let's face it, we'll all buy anything Nintendo-branded on it – and Nintendo knows it.
It should be noted that this boxing option has only been announced by Japan so far. Nintendo says the multiplication box will not have any warranty information or codes on it, and will not contain any of the leaflets found inside the original. Japanese fans will also be able to purchase the Joy-Con and Dock console separately, which makes a lot of sense.
What is the world we live in, eh?
