It ain't easy to lock down a Switch 2 pre-order, even if you're closely tied with Nintendo. Folks like Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai and Nintendo Direct narrator Yuichi Nakamura have to jump in the pre-order lottery for Nintendo Switch 2 just like everybody else, and as their numbers come up so has some friendly beef that can only be settled by an IRL meetup to recreate the most iconic image of the 1997 cinematic classic Men in Black.
It's probably selling Nakamura a bit short to simply call him the "Nintendo Direct narrator," as he's a prolific voice actor who's appeared in everything from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure to Final Fantasy, but the fact that he's the de facto voice of Nintendo marketing in Japan means that his struggles to secure the new console feel downright tragic.
