The atmosphere turned festive, filled with the joy of winners and the disappointment of those who missed out. In this article, we’ve rounded up posts from voice actors caught up in the highs and lows of the Nintendo Switch 2 lottery!

@tokishunichi Sorry, I can't buy a Switch2. I'm playing Mario Cart 8 right now. I want to drive courses where you can cut freely through all kinds of courses. The truth is, I yearn for the Switch2, but, but... for now, I am going to feign blissful ignorance a little longer. Because the course I drive today will surely help me in a time attack someday.
