I suppose Europe is considered to be part of the Japanese Empire..... (as almost every European Switch I've seen is XAJ) /s
Or perhaps Japan provided all of the consoles for Europe? No idea...
PS: Well, I will update my serial number as you proposed.

Dunno either..
But as I said,
1. maybe it's where the factory is located
[hmm... debunked with the "made in china". If it was assembled in another country, they are obligated to write Made in _Country_]
2. maybe in the start was not meant to be region-free.
[more probable]
3 .maybe it's for what region meant to be released
[less probable than 2.]

Oh, I see. That makes sense. I guess we need numbers that are at least accurate to the hundred thousand.
Yes!
But we still want the XAW70. Because we don't know yet if the 9 digit number is global or if it's per "factory".

I updated the OP and inserted all the serials that already included the necessary informations. When I started the thread I
used the 3DS serial thread as an example, I hand't considered that the 3DS has sold much more consoles that the switch so
less digits of the serial were needed. Oh well.

Yeah, just mine came with Neon Blue and Red instead of Pink and Green, and its EU.
Also hm i cant seem to find my serial, where is it?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Yo found it,
Nintendo Switch + Splatoon 2 Bundle
Serial: XAJ4001 (is this enough?)
Firmware it came with: 2.1 i believe but it was below 3.0 for sure
System Color: Neon Red and Blue (not the new green and pink one)
Region: EUR (Germany)
Oh and it was purchased the day after spla2ns release which is 22/7
So for anyone who wants to buy the splat bundle, i think you are safe (i hope!).


the USA version of the Splatoon 2 cartridge has fw2.30 on it
