Yup. 2110-3127. Can't seem to find much info on it tho
*
yeah the support site isn't quite helpful for that error
http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/ap..._id/22567/p/897
my guess is try to do manual setup & use google dns or opendns and see if the dns problem while trying to use your phone hotspot resolves

PSN has started to charge tax. Is there a confirmed tax heaven state?
*
charging tax for digital goods still need to follow their state law. if the state is tax-free, sony can't suddenly charge tax
anyway, US eshop always charge tax for those that set their zip code with tax-able state since dsi era iinm

you don't have to re-enter zip code every time you want to purchase stuff, except for few certain cases where they'll ask for it again. except that I can't really remember what's the trigger haha

Guys.why there are a Germany word behind ? Does it mean we are getting German Switches meant for Germany ?
*
my guess would be instead of distributing console system intended for US and repackage it with adapter that compatible with local plug like what they did with 3ds, they just distributed the system intended for EU as the plug already match and less need to repackage. this is possible because switch is region free unlike 3ds.
btw, the reason why it's German text instead of French, Spanish or Italian because Nintendo of Europe HQ is in Germany.

oh hey stringfellow haven't seen you for quite a while in this subforum lol
as for installed games, I've asked quite a few people and they said it automatically installed on their microsd. probably try use the initialize microsd option in the setting to reformat it, and restart the switch before trying it again?

just to share with the passionate NS community at LYN.

you guys might want to hold off from sticking skins on the NS

PDP said their skins won't cause those problem.. hah
https://www.facebook.com/PDPGaming/posts/10150734683424982
I guess the typical custom skin will cause problem while officially licensed won't. probably some difference in material use, considering they said they tested various materials & adhesives in that post.

Hey guys, I bought the Switch console only from the UK and it's shipping here tracked via Royal Mail. It wasn't bought from a business entity therefore shipping marked as a gift. Any idea how much the import duty or taxes will cost? Thanks! :-)
*
should be just 6% GST. can't remember if there's pos Malaysia charge clearance or not

QUOTE(stringfellow @ Mar 4 2017, 04:53 PM)
Yep, portable mode. I dont really like DQ anyway too, since its a free demo, wanna see what's the Switch is capable of.

Fast RMX really impresses me. For something this graphically intensive, and keeping a LOCKED 60fps is impressive indeed. This stage also has weather effect, but I couldn't capture a screenshot of it, it's only available in championship mode and I passed that. Rain was pouring down and splashing around, and the Switch kept up with it without missing a frame. The sense of speed is real too. Really impressive.

Imagine that rainforest drenched in rain, with thunder and lightning in background. For 20 dollars, it's a steal.

are there any problem if i gonna buy my switch from japan?

go there & physically buy it: no problem other than finding stock
import online: stricter japan post regulation about shipping li-on powered device due to note 7 incident might causing problem, worst case possible had to be returned to seller

yes, Nintendo switch is a dangerous good
edit: I forgot. need travel adapter since japan plug head is different than ours

Anyone bought switch just for playing Zelda?

I'm still hasitating sad.gif

not really. there's bunch of other games that I plan to pick that's available already like snipperclips or blaster master zero, but considering how vast the game is, I can see most of my gaming time will go there (and grindblue and shipgirl) and might last until arms or splatoon 2

well, no one is forcing you to buy it now or buy it later. it's not like the game will gone, or switch will be discontinued next month. trust your gut, think logically before deciding something that's best for you. at the end, it's your money.

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!

interesting. was expecting the dlc must match the game region like usual. probably certain game is fine some not

Just got email from Qisahn. My Nintendo Switch Carrying Case with Screen Protector (Nintendo Original) and the Zelda Guidebook Collectors Edition is shipping today biggrin.gif hopefully they both arrive tomorrow. Screen protector already using Hori, so this will be my spare, just in case...
I think DHL/FedEx has not allowed Li-Ion battery in their shipments for quite a while... Use other shipping methods e.g. japan speedpost?
*
no they can, as long as the batteries are built-in the device not separate. but now there's limit of the number, most likely implemented after that note 7 incident as I never knew this exist before this
http://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/use/restr...striction02.pdf
the limit now is 2x li-on battery, and switch has 3

QUOTE(stringfellow @ Mar 6 2017, 04:28 PM)
Was hit by that when I was trying to ship in larger capacity LiIon batteries for my custom built lightsabers. Had to convince the shipper to try. Shipped with DHL with an extra form to sign denoting battery capacity and the DHL agent inspecting it first. The cost was expensive.

It's not that it's not allowed, just that your shipper probably chose not take the expensive route. There are protocols covering shipping of dangerous goods in planes more sensitive and harmful than lithium ion batteries. I've flown corrosive, flammable compounds halfway across the world before, but they were contained within their pre-prepared containers and sealants, and the crew were trained to handle situations of spillage and such if that happen. We had to do that course every year. No pass no license.

probably. I guess amazon jp don't want to trouble themselves with extra work and just decided to refund ppl that imported from them
