The launch of the Switch 2 has caused a shopping frenzy in Japan, where obtaining one legally involves entering a lottery, leading to increased resale prices. To mock the situation, users on Mercari Japan have been posting parody listings using puns around the term "Switch 2." One such listing humorously offers a cardboard dual light switch as a Nintendo Switch 2 at a price similar to actual console listings. Nintendo has taken action against scalpers through partnerships with resale platforms, attempting to manage the pricing inflation around their highly sought-after console.
Sellers have been listing dual light switches with the description Switch 2-ko, which can be translated to 'two switches' in Japanese.
Nintendo entered a partnership with Mercari Japan in an effort to combat Switch 2 scalpers, so all Switch 2 listings come with a warning that items may be sold at an inflated price.
