Nintendo just confirmed that that cheaper Japanese Switch 2 will only play games in Japanese unless the game has an in-game language option.
It's definitely a very weird experiment. I guess they are thinking that they will make enough from software sales -- that people buying them will have to buy official Japan-region games and not import something cheaper, if people were doing that -- to make up for whatever losses the lower price incurs? I don't know...
In other news, when Switch 2 preorders opened yesterday, I managed to get one. It took a while of waiting but I got one.
