Did you preordered from Impulse? Mind sharing your queue number? I ordered 15 minutes after I saw the post and was queued at 24. Apparently they started taking order 1 day before the announcement. Hopefully there's at least 24 units on day 1.

Well it is standard price across the board. If there's any difference, it will only be around RM10 but yea, usually standard price. I shop in Impulse 90% of the time and their price is always one of the lowest.

If the Switch is import and not officially launching in Asia, that would be a problem for inconsistent pricing, but since Maxsoft is distributing, I'm sure the price will be the same. And also plus the fact that they explicitly stated that their price will be very competitive so don't worry is definitely reassuring.


2 millions worldwide, as long as they don't repeat PS4 Pro, we should be fine. Also a lot of people aren't happy with the pricing/games offered, hopefully lesser people will buy in Malaysia. I'm number 24, so pray hard too.


Was initially planning on waiting Mario since I can play zelda on Wii U, but knowing we are in Malaysia where everything increases in price instead of dropping Plus the availability... better secure one unit early. Maybe if you're in other country, they have black friday and something else, the price will be lowered.

I might get it but $50 is a little steep. It looks fun mainly for party, maybe will find a used copy or something.

Honestly 1 2 switch is such a great game to just bring around. The fact that you are already bringing 2 controllers and a screen around is so easy to set up and play anytime. $20 or $30 would've bought it

Considering bomberman, online seems cool, still waiting for final price. If it's $60 I'm out.

Most of them are placeholder price, Bomberman price is still not finalized.

Honestly won't be surprised if it ends up to be $60. Considering that bestbuy, amazon all listed $60. Plus Impulse is already taking order RM249. Usually when they aren't sure about the price, they won't put it out. Freaking Street Fighter 2 cost $40.

15 minutes after their facebook post, 24. What about you?

There's not a single shop in Malaysia that knows whether they have blue/red switch (even though they will have it), so any shops they tells you can preorder selected color is bs. As for Impulse, I asked them already and they confirmed after getting the final information, they will let every early preorder customer to choose color, if there's no color to choose then the rest will be assigned accordingly unless you are willing to wait.

Damn 1k deposit!? Maxlink taking 500 and impulse only taking 50.

Well Maxsoft is distributing the Switch, prices should be more or less fixed if not only RM10 or 20 difference. But yea, GH is not really the cheapest solution compared to others. Their switch game preorder price is already more expensive.

Not sure if that is official SKU or they are doing it themselves. You mean zelda + 1,2 Switch for additional SGD139 on top of the console price?

Oh god this is a nightmare. Qisahn, one of the famous SG store also confirmed this. Since Malaysia is also distributed by Maxsoft, we will be in this mess too. Looks like I'm getting 1,2 damn switch.

Edit : YEAP, IT'S REAL, just checked with local shops. What the hell man, Nintendo of America was like, we didn't include pack in game because we want you to make the decision.

Not worth the trouble. The bundle will most likely be cheaper. Zelda is a locked in day 1 and they will probably make us pay around $30 for 1,2 switch, which is fair enough. Better than importing, wasting the $30 on shipping and no warranty.

Well, first of all, considering that there's no Nintendo of Malaysia to make a complaint, there's literally nothing we can do but NOT buy it/spend more money importing it. Also finding an import unit from US/JP is almost impossible at this point. Console market is not big enough in Asia or more specifically Malaysia for Nintendo of America to do something about it. If you are so upset about Maxsoft, vote with your money, make an online petition that will change nothing or suggest something good. To think that Malaysia wasn't even listed as one of the official launch country is enough to see how much Nintendo care about SEA. But if you plan on importing, sure, why not. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely agree with you, I've been through this EVERY single console launch because somehow they manage to screw us up, and every single discussion will involve someone saying the same thing, some rebuttal and somehow an online petition to change stuff, but the truth is, our small market don't matter to them. Look at both of the recent case of PS4 Pro and PSVR launch, both funny cases.


For what it's worth though, local shops are not announcing the bundle yet, most probably because they are trying to do something about it or appealing with Maxsoft. A lot of Malaysia stores actually got the news but haven't mention a thing about it.

Well at least the good news is there's Hong Kong and a lot other Asia countries backing us up now. And apparently shops aren't happy about this decision too, that's why a lot of the shops are still keeping quiet. I find it weird for maxsoft to confirm a bundle without pricing and hk/sg stores immediately announce it.

And on top of that, the super slow shipment will kill you.

Sony is charging Malaysia PS+ 1 year for $29. Considering Nintendo won't be having Malaysia currency, we will be paying the $30 or below for sure. Estimated price was $20~$30, so let's put it $25.

$29 vs $25

PS+ we get a minimum of 2 PS3, 2 PSV and 2~6 PS4 games for active sub lifetime. (God of war 3 remastered, tales of zestiria, until dawn, LBP3, gravity rush and old/new indies)

Nintendo online we get 1 NES/SNES rental for a month.


I don't see the friendly price tag in Malaysia.

Maxsoft doesn't even know the price yet. But judging from past launches, each shop should get maybe 50 ? Unless it's PS4 Pro, where entire Malaysia gets like 100 units.
