This is genius, I hope they have data on the empty boxes sold in their next investors meeting

Price atleast is kinda fair.. but dont like the "concept" of just selling people a empty card board box.

People really like Splatoon in Japan but many already bought a Switch, instead of buying another Switch they buy the box and the Splatoon Joycons pretending to own the Splatoon 2 bundle, 85$ vs 350$



I think what's silliest about this is there's obviously going to be demand for it.



Is it really nintendo selling it? cause that's disgusting.

People in here acting like they never in their life bought something for the sole purpose of having it sit on display.
If I didnt have to import it I would have jumped on this.



I can't understand how some people in this can whitewash this! This is a freaking rip-off from Nintendo imo!

It's still a stupid idea.

Yet. Someone buying issue #1 of Spider-Man 20 times, for the varaint covers,  is okay. Look at LGR. Who has 10+ versions of Sim City. All because of the different boxes.

It certainly is strange, but how is it a rip-off?

Selling a box for 5 dollars is a fair price in my book. I have no idea who would want to buy it . But for whatever reason that may be, they aren't being ripped off.

I seriously hope people aren't stupid enough to fall for this...



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).
