As of June 5, 2025, these sites will start to block all ads in the sale of the new Switch 2 console. Thus, the company wants to minimize the effect of sellers and fraudsters at the beginning of sales.
The Nintendo press release talks about “fraudulent announcements ,, but Yahoo confirmed that blocking representatives of Japan and Rakuten would be completed without exception. It is not specified for how long the ban lasts.
The launch of Switch 2 is planned on June 5 and high demand is expected in Japan. Nintendo is afraid that speculators will buy scarce devices and exhibit them with a margin. So far, measures are only related to the Japanese market. It is not known whether similar restrictions will appear on the boundaries.
The console has already started to be sent to foreign stores. Nintendo Switch 2 in Russia will be available soon.
