Only on the Nintendo Switch, not accessories which they also say cannot confirm when will arrive smile.gif

Impulse only said "wait for announcement on FB". Haven't asked the boss yet though...

the free amiibo seem dun even works with switch right?
really wonder wats the point having those amiibo

more like "not yet". When animal crossing (unannounced yet) comes out, it will work. Amiibos are designed to work on a particular game, rather than a specific system.

I'm guessing those Amiibos are the leftover stock. Don't think the Animal Crossing Amiibos are popular.

Nope not rich. sad.gif  My bday is 10th March. I preordered one for myself and quietly my wife preordered one as well as a surprise birthday present. Both did full payments already. sad.gif. Now dilemma as my wife's gift is grey and my preorder is neon...........first world problem, I know.

Open both, take your neon controller and switch with your wife's bday present grey controller. Problem solved! laugh.gif

If you both are gamers, keeping both is a great option - local mutiplayer on the Switch!

But I opted for shipping, so next week anyway, more time for me to play Horizon Zero Dawn!

I asked at 5pm and was told either tomorrow or Saturday as they were waiting for the transport to confirm - but this is Impulse JB ya, not Sunway. If the stock is in at JB tomorrow, you may get yours on Saturday.

Everybody posted their Switch pictures, I also want la

Zelda Update also includes DLC. Can buy straight from main menu.

Tried my USB Type C - Anker & Huawei - both NOT working with the switch. Tried the included Pro Controller USB Type C - working with iPad/iPhone 12W Charger.

Tried using Xiaomi 20,000mah powerbank + Pro Controller USB Type C, it can charge the Switch, but it can't charge the Pro Controller... Weird...

While the console is receiving power, it will also charge the docked joy-cons, it will stop charging the joy cons when you remove the power supply.

Impulse JB and yes 3 free amiibos

Quick update, using Xiaomi Powerbank (20k mah version) and the Pro Controller's USB Type C, i can play zelda and charge the joy cons for 40mins so far and the console battery life stays at 100%. Seems like I have no issues in using the Xiaomi powerbank for extended plays outside.

Anyone having problems posting screenshots to Facebook? I keep having an error: 2801-7199. Twitter works fine though...

Info-sharing:
Impulse voucher is only valid for 3 months since date of issue.
Received 10x RM10 voucher
Each voucher can only be used per one transaction.
Stock for tampered glass reach next week.
Stock for Hori stand when reach unknown.

Hmmm. I think it's 1 voucher for each item purchased. I used 6 vouchers yesterday in 1 bill for 6 items. The Hori stand is a godsend - 3 docking angles and you can charge while playing.

Played Zelda this way while using the Pro Controller - heaven!

Whaaa? RM2399 for the console only??? No Zelda or 1-2 Switch? Ridiculous pricing mad.gif

But on the voucher mentioned limit to one transaction. Probably they written the TnC wrongly.
Btw, what screen protector you bought from Impulse?
Is it tampered glass?

Not sure, didn't even read the t&c lol!

Screen protector Hori - Pitahari (soft)

Bear in mind, the current powerbanks dilemma I brought up only applies to playing and charging at the same, if your usage pattern revolves around leaving it in sleep mode and charging it while it's idling on the Switch dashboard/"Page", your current powerbanks will charge it accordingly, because power draw at idle isn't any different than the power draw of your smartphone.  If you're gaming and wanting to charge to either maintain battery life parity, stopping it from draining, or charging it at a reasonable rate while playing, current smartphone powerbanks won't cut it.
*
Dude. I'm using Xiaomi 20k mah powerbank which outputs a maximum of 5V 2.4A per port (2 ports). I can play Zelda and the powerbank will still charge the Switch. The only caveat is I need to use the USB cable provided by the Pro Controller. I can't use any other USB cable to do this. Additionally, and weirdly, the same setup can't charge the Pro Controller...

It will charge, but will it charge fast enough compared to the battery drain induced by the games? I'm charging using my my Aukey 30000 mAh powerbank as well, but because it's using USB-A, that's 12W max (5V 2.4A).

user posted image

If I play mild games like PuyoPuyo, the power draw may be low and your current powerbank may be able to mitigate the power drain by compensating with its own power charging. If the game and its resultant power drain only requires 12W from the battery and your powerbank can supply the same 12W charge, your battery percentage will not budge. If the game is less demanding, your powerbank will charge even.

The newer generation USB-C powerbanks with USB-PD allows up 30W, and that is only 9W shy of the official Nintendo charger rated at 39W.

So it all depends on what you're doing with the Switch: if you're just spending time in the dashboard, that won't drain out 12W and any powerbank can charge your Switch no problems. Play simple games like PuyoPuyo, you may even get away with current phone powerbanks. But do anything more intensive than that, you need powerbanks like the RAVPower.

Your Xiaomi and my Aukey powerbanks are USB-A out only. That tops out at 12W. Sure there are QuickCharge mechanism in some powerbanks but the Switch doesn't take advantage of that, and will drop back down to taking 12W maximum from the older gen powerbanks.

When charging your Pro Controller, I'm guessing that it's picky about your 5V 2.4A charge ports. Have you tried charging using a PC USB port and does it charge? If it does, then the Pro Controller doesn't like your 5V 2.4A ports and only will take a charge from 5V 1.5A USB ports. Check your Switch official charger. See the rating? 15V 2.6A and 5V 1.5A. The first rating is for the Switch on docked mode, that takes 39w (15 x 2.6), but the second rating is for the USB ports in the dock itself, which is used to charge your accessories including the Pro Controller and the Charging Grip.
*
I did say I'm playing Zelda while charging it via my powerbank, not sleep mode / dashboard... The battery meter is going up, not just maintain or going down. Didn't do a timer to compare AC vs Powerbank though... My powerbank has quickcharge, but for input only. Output is still 2.4A 5V max. I'm playing undocked, with medium (default) brightness.

The Pro controller can charge fine from the Switch's AC adapter. Just not from my powerbank...

Is this your type of powerbank?
http://www.gearbest.com/power-banks/pp_263761.html

and you need a specific usb c cable to charge it?
interesting, wonder whats the specification then.. hmm.gif
*
Yeah, but I bought it from Xiaomi Malaysia official webpage which sold it for RM90+ iinm. GB is definitely overcharging. Xiaomi Malaysia is not selling it anymore though...

Anyway, I think stringfellow is right, do get usb powerbank that supports usb-pd, but using usb powerbank that outputs 5V 2.4A (like my xiaomi) is also an option - but you need to test it properly, especially which type C cable...

Looking at the google doc spreadsheet, the switch is only pulling 5V 1.86A at the most, so 5V 2.4A like the Xiaomi is more than enough for the switch.

kuroneko0509, maybe you should start a friendcode list for the Switch? Mine is SW-0315-7163-4531. Do add me so we can play Splatoon!

I brought a hori screen protector with anti blue light which cost me RM59. But i heard the heat of the dock will cause peels off the screen protector. I'm looking for tempered glass one, anyone know where can I find it other than playasia because the shipping fee is really expensive.

I'm using Hori, the RM69 version. No issues in peeling (yet). Just use first la bro...

Anyway, i'm using Just Dance 2017 - EUR region gamecard. I can purchase the Just Dance Unlimited 1 Year DLC using my US account and play with the EUR gamecard. Really2 superb region free policy - unlike Sony, which forces you to buy using specific region, according to your disc region. Great job Nintendo!

First time played Just Dance on Switch - last I played it was on the PS4 when it first launched (Just Dance 2014?). The PS4 version was highly inaccurate, just doing nothing also could score points sad.gif played it on the Switch with Joy-Cons with my wife - very high accuracy with the Joy-Cons - she was extremely happy with the great workout that we had playing it. Highly recommended guys!
