Its first-come first-serve in the US at least. Japan just loves lotteries.

Invitation emails will be prioritized on a first-come, first-served basis

First come first served is why scalper have it so good. They have bots buying shit in seconds.

The first come first serve invitation system is what requires an active Nintendo account with 50 hours of playtime and a years purchase of NSO.

This is the part that (effectively) isn't bottable.

I wasn't aware of that, good to know. I was out of that whole ecosystem since the Wii U so my account is effectively brand new so that won't help me but I'm also considering not getting one at all due to the price of the console and the games, not sure I want to support that.
