Sure thing. Here’s a re-written version of the article:

So, Nintendo’s at it again. If you’ve been living under a rock, let me catch you up — people can’t get enough of this Nintendo Switch 2 thing. Shuntaro Furukawa, the big guy over there (yep, the president), actually had to say “sorry” ’cause they can’t crank out these consoles fast enough. Makes me wonder, did they not see this coming? Anyhow, they’re trying to beef up their production mojo, or whatever they call it.
Furukawa blurted out some sort of apology speech at their annual, um, shareholder shindig — maybe trying to save face a bit? He said something like, “Hey, everyone, sorry if you can’t snag a Switch 2. We know it’s a pain.” Honestly, imagine promising your kid one and then not being able to find it anywhere. Yikes.
In Japan — which you’d think they’d have sorted by now — they started this lottery system if you wanted one. Yeah, no joke. You sign up on My Nintendo Store, and it’s like winning a golden ticket, but not as fun. I remember reading they had over 2.2 million folks hoping for their lucky day. Furukawa even went and posted on X about it — probably to calm the storm before it became a hurricane.
There’ve been four raffles now, and some poor souls are still out of luck. They’re planning a fifth round in July. I mean, the suspense is real. Meanwhile, more stores are slowly starting to sell them outright. Progress? Maybe.
And then, boom, they launch it with Mario Kart World — because clearly, they know how to hook us in. But check this: there’s a whole lineup for games coming out soon. Donkey Kong Bananza, Super Mario Party Jamboree, Kirby adventures, new Pokémon legends — all staggered over the next few months. Got me wondering if it’s intentional to drive us wild. Who knows, right?
If you’ve got cash burning a hole in your pocket, and you’re lucky, here’s the damage: £395.99 in the UK, €469.99 around Europe, and $449.99 in the US. Not pocket change, but surely cheaper than trying to snag one off some dodgy reseller.
Oh, and there’s a trailer out — ’cause what’s a big launch without one? If you haven’t seen it, maybe give it a watch. Or don’t. Just my two cents.
Anyway — wait, did I cover everything? Yeah, I think that’s the gist. Nintendo Switch 2, folks. It’s the hot thing right now.
