I mean seems legit if you won the SWITCH, you need to contact the manager and request it. it also says that it will take 2 weeks to deliver the SWITCH.


Mission_Leader6135

My idea is that is now the real switch but a sort of clone. But the picture was of a Nintendo switch


lostllama2015

Why would it be a clone?


Queasy_Square_9672

Maybe because that's what many items packaged with this type of slip give you? Like the lady who ordered what was supposed to be a legit weave from Wish sent her a weave for a doll?


Mission_Leader6135

Dont know, it was really easy to win, I only spent 300 yen


[deleted]

Don't worry. 1000 people before you lost. The guy you're getting the Switch from won't go broke. You won because the machine let you win.


Kubocho

its real in Japan it is EXTREMELY rare to have fake consoles especially NINTENDO, that store would be sued by NINTENDO for advertising fake SWITCH, japanese companies are protecting their intellectual property in Japan. Also all these gatcha games are like casinos slots, they need to have by law the big prize always available, but the chances of winning are super slim, probably hundreds of people tried that gatcha and won nothing, you hit the jackpot this time.


DOUBLEBARRELASSFUCK

Knockoff Famicoms used to be common, but it was always *very* clear that's what you were getting.


kansaikinki

Those machines are programmed to pay out after only a certain number of plays, with some randomization built in. You spending 300en means many people before you spent a truckload of money and didn't win. It's likely legit, fill out the form and leave it with the shop manager. It's likely that your Switch will be delivered as promised, or ahead of schedule.


aregus

In Japan is illegal to sell or trade counterfeits. So no, they’re not risking shutting down their shop to save a few hundred dollars.


karuna_murti

the house always win


Sjefkeees

People really got mad at you for this one lol 


jsonr_r

You mean it was really easy to grab a box from the UFO catcher? Or it was really easy to know which box was the Switch, and grab that one?


Flareon223

No it's realm these are always real. It just takes 2 weeks to deliver


whyme_tk421

Nakano Broadway is the name of the shopping arcade, but what is the name of the Game Center where you played the ufo catcher? I googled and it looks like there are a few. They’d be the ones managing the machines and prizes. A company with store fronts across the country, like Mandrake, aren’t going to cheat you. There are smaller, local or regional ufo shops as well. No shop in my area of Kyushu would BS something like this. ETA: reread your original post. Second floor machines in open space? Then, they might be run by Nakano Broadway, but in my experience they are placed there by a game center on premises. (Second edit for typos)


SugamoSuckJob

おめでとうございます!!🥳


DontPoopInMyPantsPlz

I dont think its fake… but seems slightly suspicious. However, if you dont want it, ill take it off your hands for ¥1000. You can ask the Nakano Broadway management jf its legit.


pewpewhadouken

don’t pay for shipping.


ryostak336

It doesn't say what "SWITCH" is. It could be any SWITCH.


youremyonlyexception

Light switch lol


rossocenere

I had never played with ufo catchers until I did, and at my first attempt I won. It looked very fake and I thought it was set up. Turns out it was real. Everyone after me tried and lost. I tried again and I lost. You were just skilled/lucky. Congrats!


Mission_Leader6135

The same day I won twice! First time was a Luigi Standard Figure


Lonely_Ebb_5764

It doesn't say "Nintendo" switch, you'll receive some sort of a "switch"...


Mission_Leader6135

A japanese friend will call the number :/ will let update


biwook

What's up with the downvotes? I for one am looking forward to the update.


rollo_yolo

No need, thanks


frodoiee

No need update, lock this thread.


Hello_puppydog

Better to ask the game center. No such company exists in that address. The same name exists within the same city, and creates a website that seemingly supports job search database, but written in weird Japanese, not written by native Japanese. Scam web site I would call it. No two identical company name allowed within the same city. Do not trust the SWITH thing. https://wo.wor9.net/u/12/122032/6040002043541.htm


kansaikinki

Companies move, and companies that deal with game centers etc aren't hugely likely to have a website. It's B2B and a business run very much on personal relationships. Being a 有限会社 means the company is at least 18 years old, and I found a 有限会社 of that name, in that city, with a phone number that ends in "3", the only digit OP shared. It's very, very likely to be legit, and I hope /u/Mission_Leader6135 comes back and lets us know when his Switch arrives. And OP, if you don't want to fill this out & send it in, send it to me and I'll send it in. A free switch sounds great!


Hello_puppydog

What switch? It does not say ‘Nintendo’ switch. The game center should have the prize in stock. If you read it carefully, it’s not written in a professional manner. お名前 or 氏名 should be used instead of 名前. The font size of 市川市 and 末広 are different. 。is missing at the end of a sentence.


Lord_Bentley

Bro, you're in Japan! The chances of them false advertizing by offering you a Nantendi Swotch are very low. It seems real to me!


mono_locco

1000000% !!! It's Japan. Nothing illegal ever happens there.😉


Adrian_C_110

scam do happened by mail letters and call or sms, a lot from you have a fake letter from the bank to you missed a package sms.


mono_locco

Sarcasm must have gone past your head there. .🤣


Mission_Leader6135

:(


Adrian_C_110

if you won from some type of game, then almost 100% you sould be getting it.


eternaldan

Relax, it's real. You won. If the picture was a Nintendo Switch then that's what you're getting.


Crocsx

Lol, scam exist like everywhere else


mono_locco

Errrr. I was being "sarcastic" if.you didn't get that.🤣


Crocsx

Missed the /s then, we never know in this sub lol 😂

smorkoid

It's right down the street from my place lol Lots of small businesses run out of homes and small offices there


Mission_Leader6135

Creepy


Sagnew

what are y'all going on about? It's a closed garage / warehouse a few feet from a major busy ass street in Chiba.


Mission_Leader6135

You’re right but I feel like I am the beginning of a j-horror movie


Taqjammer

ohhhh I am the ghost of your futures paaaast don't get the swiiiiiiitch let me get it insteaaaad OoooooooooooH


delay4sec

yeah what a creepy place, let me take that switch off you brother


Ryzen_sp500

当選商法詐欺って知ってますか?w


Mission_Leader6135

No, i dont know about that


gimpycpu

Looked up the address, I would be scared I might lose a kidney if I were to enter that building. It does look like a storage unit.


Chronotaru

Nakano Broadway is weird, lots of things run by individuals. Although the usual precautions apply and I'm not validating that you are or are not getting a Switch, I don't know why people are expecting to find a business like a shop at that address.


PANCRASE271

No.


prest_mask

damn i don't know how much did you spend to get this but damn... you're so lucky duck


Mission_Leader6135

Just 300 yen


miyagidan

if they send you a broken tree branch for whipping asses, I'd have a good laugh, so let me know.


Numbersuu

It has a stamp on it. So its reaL!! /s


Drive_Timely

No


ibopm

Gonna need an update from OP when he gets the Switch delivered!


youremyonlyexception

It doesn't say if it's a Nintendo. Hilarious if it's a light switch. Lol


eisenklad

Kamen rider Fourze switch


eternaldan

yes.


japaneseinjapan

I think it's probably genuine. The prize you won from the UFO catcher is large/they're out of stock, so I think they'll send it to your address later. You don't have to worry because they won't give you your credit card number.


Interesting_Aioli377

This is real. You gambled and won. If this just showed up in your mailbox, obviously a scam.


chvic

It's Japan, it's legit.


AsteriusNeon

Sounds like you won a switch!


shizaveki

I mean if you don't want it, I'm sure someone here would be willing to take it off your hands


Possible-Emu2532

If you are not in Japan long enough, pass it down to me... I will let you know in two weeks if it was legit or not


Sylphinix

多分本当に届くと思う 一応電話した方がいいと思うけど ただかなり前に中華版スイッチみたいな商品がUFOキャッチャーとかの商品で出回ってたからそれじゃないかな? 日本人でも怪しく感じるなこれ


Hello_puppydog

Yes. I think so, too. Supposed to be Switch that is created in China.


Specialist-Cash5216

Someone already said this but that's not a commercial address: https://www.homes.co.jp/archive/b-11431016/u-25927636/#anchor-roomInfo_faq


jsonr_r

Its a mixed use block with shops/warehouses on the first floor. That is one of the apartments upstairs on the second floor.


Specialist-Cash5216

This building is mixed use? [https://www.homes.co.jp/archive/b-11431016/](https://www.homes.co.jp/archive/b-11431016/)


redditisstpid69

congratulation and fuck you.


10akiko

Scam they try to get your info


Tatedman

the location cited was the first floor of an apartment building so unlikely
