It ain't easy to lock down a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Switch 2 pre-order, even if you're closely tied with Nintendo. Folks like Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Direct narrator Yuichi Nakamura have to jump in the pre-order lottery for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Switch 2 just like ev🌞erybody 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 Jꦡapan means that his struggles to secure the new console feel downright tragic.

that he'd be cutting ties with anybody who successfully secured a spot in the Switch 2 pre-order lottery, as noted by . When Sakurai announced that he'd grabbed a pre-order, Nakamura responded questioningly, prompting the Smash Bros. director (via Google Translate) "We need to quickly shine the light that wil⛎l erase his memories...!"

That is, of course, a refere😼nce to Men in Black's Neuralyzer – or "flashy thing," as you may recall Will Smith's Agent J callin🌊g it – a small gadget that erases memories with a bright light. Convenient both for explaining away alien encounters and preserving friendships that might otherwise be jeopardized by video game console jealousy.

Nakamura then posted a of a standard Nintendo Swꩵitch with a "2" scrawled on the back in yellow marker. Clearly, Sakurai was going to have to make good on the Neuralization promise. And so he did, meeting up with Nakamura to Neuralyze him with what looks like a karaoke microphone. I guess that counts as a happ🍸y ending to this goofy little saga.

Joy and despair as game devs fight for a Switch 2 of their own, with Smash Bros' Masahiro Sakurai lucking into one while Balatro's LocalThunk still hunting.
