Please help! For the best Switch price, I'd go to the following website: http://www.11street.my Sorry that I can't give you the direct link, but just search "Nintendo Switch" and you should receive a bunch of results. You'd better hurry though because they're not selling it cheap for long(apparently there's an offer atm). The system itself is not region locked, so you don't have to worry about getting the right games and importing is a breeze(thank you based Nintendo). The only fair warning in particular, is to watch out for ridiculously marked up game prices, which are pretty common in the market right now. Just stick to the dealers you trust. Hope that helps you out. On a side note though, what games are you planning on getting? Cuz lemme tell ya, Mario Kart 8 multiplayer is addicting. |

QUOTE(PleaseEnterYourName @ Sep 22 2017, 11:48 AM) I think it depends on which franchise you like more, ultimately. Both are really good games from what I've heard, although to a lesser extent over here in Malaysia since I doubt the multiplayer mode is gonna be much active in such a far away region unless you can deal with tremendous amounts of lag playing with people across the continent. Although I heard that Pokken's campaign mode is pretty bare bones so... I guess go with Dragonball if you want your money's worth.This post has been edited by Akumajyo: Sep 22 2017, 12:05 PM |

While fighting games like the aforementioned are almost always peer-to-peer, which relies heavily on connection quality and general distance. Also, I think the matchmaking in most games is based on ping and various other networks related factors, so I don't think changing your account region means much, and even if it does, you won't be happy with the results. arm/splatoon i've not played so i don't know how. my account if playing online i'll play in us region. u guys choose which region? |

QUOTE(stringfellow @ Sep 14 2017, 12:02 PM) Project Octopath Traveler: The only way I'd be interested in this is if the storyline is as mature, complex and twisting like Final Fantasy Tactics: War of The Lions, despite me hating pixel art. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is proof that you can do complex, more intricately detailed RPG on Switch, compared to what this game does. Tested the demo in English. Pretty good VA work, and although I've set the bar pretty high with the requirement of the content/story akin to FFT, the combination of Primrose's story and the VA is enough to get me interested. Maybe still not Day 1, but I'm interested now nonetheless. Should reviews be favorable, I'm getting it. |

Dear all,
wanted to buy nintendo switch in malaysia, however I have walked in to few gaming store, but I have found out there is some differences in their prices. Some are selling for bundle with 1 game (zelda) for 2100+, some are selling console +1 game randomly for 1800+. Meanwhile, I have found some are selling for console only for 1500+ online and/or retail shop. But it's not an Asian Set. Thus, would like to seek for advice how do I differentiate whether the NS is under Asian Set instead of JP, Australia, US or EU set? And where shall I buy to get the best offer ? Thank you.

Hey guys - Nintendo switch emergency.
I recently left my charger behind while working overseas. because of that, I need to get a quick replacement. Out of the chargers on this list https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/com...1nn&sh=a42882a3 - which one is easiest to get while also capable of charging while playing - (also I don't understand according to that guide, the MacBook usb C charger is not compatible with the dock - what's the reasoning behind that?) edit: I just want to walk into a shop and buy something without fuss. edi2: keep posting wrong link as i'm a noob This post has been edited by Kidicarus: Sep 25 2017, 12:55 PM |

Hi all sifus, WTA the current price for switch (console only)~
Also I want to confirm that is the game purchase from the Nintendo store is bind to the console itself? instead of bind the purchased game to the account like play station? Coz I saw a Youtuber that he has lost his switch and he can't retrieve his save data nor re-download the purchased game the store. In the end, he had to re-purchase all the games again.
