## Important notes

Japan's Multi-Language System supports 16 languages and all Nintendo Account regions. The United States receipt is the standard new 256GB console, but regional codes, packaging, warranty, plug details, and account conditions can differ. The Japan order requires an eligible Nintendo Account with at least 50 hours of Switch play time as of May 31, 2026, and is limited to one per account. The Japan headline keeps the tax-included online price. United States sales tax is estimated; both receipts show free shipping.

Japan tax-free eligibility, actual local sales tax, daily FX, shipping, card fees, warranty, and import charges can change the final cost.
