Nintendo will announce the winners tomorrow, April 24, and anybody not chosen can be entered right into a second drawing. Nevertheless, that also gained't present sufficient spots for each entrant. "In response to this demand, we’re at the moment engaged on additional strengthening our manufacturing system," the corporate wrote on X in a post translated from Japanese. "We plan to proceed producing and transport a substantial variety of Nintendo Change 2 items sooner or later. We apologize for the delay in our means to satisfy your expectations." The corporate additional notes that different retailers ought to start pre-orders on the twenty fourth.
