Foreigner living in Japan is upset that Switch 2 has a Japanese only version that is 20k yen($133)cheaper than the multilanguage version (stopping Chinese scalpers). This isn't new, as the Japanese 3ds was also cheaper. Good way to make foreigners feel unwelcome in Japan so good job nintendo? (media.kotakuinaction2.win)

Also i saw a Japanese leftist on twitter calling Nintendo "fascist" for this because it discriminates against non Japanese speaking people in Japan lol. Seriously? i WISH nintendo was fascist, but they are very far from being fascist lmao.

Because they're an "activist" or "influencer" actively working against Japan and can do more damage from the inside?

Now my bilingual daughter cannot play on your new console.

Is Japanese not one of the two languages? If she lives in Japan with him, why isn't it?

Was going to say this, yeah, what two languages does she speak while refusing to speak the local language?

Clever way of getting around the yellow nigger problem. Maybe the West should start hiring Japanese nigger proofing consultants.

Wow, a product that stays in the country it is produced in is cheaper than a product shipped 4000 miles away by container and then truck to a foreigner. Who could have possibly foreseen this?

I wouldn't be surprised at all if a lot of JDM electronics were manufactured domestically while the same model is produced for export in cheap Chinese factories. And they were still making export models in Japan at least as late as the Gamecube.

Yes but you know what leftists are like. They think its discrimination to expect foreigners to learn the native language of the countries that they invade. Random Gaijin isn't a Japanese troll he's a legit gaijin living in Japan.

But i've also seen legit Japanese leftists that have been bitching about "nintendo is fascist for making the Japanese only switch 2 more cheaper because it discriminates against foreigners who can't speak Japanese in Japan." Why do leftists all use the same language around the world? they always call people they don't like "fascist" which is more proof that there is definately organized globalists funding and training these people to all say the same thing.

A couple years ago, you could get a good condition Japanese 3DS shipped to the US for cheap, jailbreak it and region-change it to put it in a different language.

They were so common over there. That's largely over.

You can find GameBoy and GameBoy Advanced clones that play original cartridges. No such thing for 3DS consoles yet.

A couple dual-screen handhelds released in 2025, and you can emulate what's compatible. With some input lag. And no 3D.
