Everyone loses their mind Nintendo's new Animal Crossing– Replace Hardware Hardware. Tom Nook-themed booth! Pastel Joy-Cons! Anything behind it! Most millions of people who already own the Switch are tempted to develop a new look, but wish they were just buying accessories separately. Well, you can-from the Japanese Nintendo Store.
Nintendo & # 39; s Japan st ore only
From February 8, you will be able to order i Nook dock (6,578 yen, or about $ 60) and / or i a different Joy-Cons (8,228 yen, or about $ 75) from the My Nintendo store. The store is all in Japanese, and only shipping to Japanese addresses.
“Chris,” you would ask me if we weren't known by first name, “I don't live in Japan. Can I buy accessories from a Nintendo store anyway? ”Yes, you can, although you will have to jump through some hooks.
There are many different services available that will buy you Japanese goods and ship them anywhere in the world. I've used a few, and my favorite is called Zenmarket. You can use a credit card or PayPal to deposit money into your account on the site, then give them the URLs of the products they want to buy, and manage the balance. (I've never used Zenmarket to buy a Nintendo store before, but I asked their help desk, which confirmed they could.)
The store will then ship the items to the last floor of Zenmarket. (The Nintendo store offers free home shipping when the item is more than 5,500 yen, and both are available. Taxes are already included in the list price.) At this point, you will choose which export service you want from the list of options. This will be the biggest extra cost you will ever get, about between $ 20 and $ 30.
Zenmarket service fee is 300 yen (about $ 2.75) per item. You only have to pay 3.5 percent when investing, so Zenmarket can get a price if you want to buy a lot of stuff from Japan, but if you just spend it occasionally at lower prices it might be the most economical way to do it.
A service like Zenmarket is a great way to do things if you don't know the Japanese lure. But even if you have the basic skills of a newman language, you may want to try the service where you place your orders. This can be to your advantage if you try to buy something you think will sell quickly. I'm not sure what the situation will be in this case Animal Crossing
Sign up for this and they will provide you with a Japanese address that you can use to purchase your own. You should create a Japanese My Nintendo account first, too, bearing in mind that American credit cards will not work in a Japanese Nintendo store, but PayPal accounts in the U.S. As soon as a portion of the money is split, just buy whatever you want, send it to Tenso using the address they give you, and they'll send it to you. They charge handling fees depending on the weight of the item.
If you I don't know Get to know the Japanese but want to try to guess it using machine translation and old genius, Tenso has no guide how to enter your Japanese address into a form.
There are many other such services, all with very different procedures, rules and finances. But as you can see, it is possible to get the things you want from Japanese markets only. Also, you can always buy a whole new Switch and sell the old one and it can end up costing just like buying these accessories, after a shipping fee! So you have to do that profit analysis yourself
