Nintendo fights Switch 2 scalpers in Japan with new restrictions – only fans with over 50 hours on premium Switch 1 games can buy multi-language consoles
Nintendo is implementing new restrictions in Japan to combat scalpers of its consoles, particularly the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.

These measures aim to ensure consoles reach genuine fans rather than resellers, especially as the Switch 2 is set to increase in price by $50 later this year.
