These lines? They’re probably the closest Japan comes to Black Friday outside of a Dragon Quest release (you know, minus the yearly trampling deaths). And it gets worse; most of the stores they’re waiting in line at have less than 50 units, regardless of whether they’re a Splatoon 2 bundle unit or not. I’m pretty sure at least one circle of Hell involves waiting in line to get nothing.
