the reason for me to get console is to play exclusive games. dah la backlog alot still want to purchase twice
i would love to have more indie game on switch - bastion, transistor,pyre and etc. those games is great on switch

Got myself Doom to play on NSW over the weekend. The graphics is inferior to PS4 but for a portable console, I rate is very high already. My only complaint is that gameplay is somewhat difficult. I think Doom is best played using PC (Keyboard + Mouse). Playing with two joystick is very different and somewhat difficult to do a precise aim at the monsters.

guys, if buying Switch from HK got any problem using in Malaysia?

because i find the switch in HK is cheaper than MY.

if i buy switch from HK,the games selling here is playable?

Not region lock, so it's playable.
Just make sure when choosing region.. just pick US for ease of use for digital purchase.
Nintendo standard.. there is US, EU and Japan.. no asia country... they just don't support all region.

Physical games here has mostly been US version.. with some being EU.. dlc wise there is some problem if lets say you have an EU copy but want to buy the DLC.. you will need to make an EU account. It's not much of an issue tho, because you can have multiple accounts for a Switch.

so is it safe to say that buying switch from any other countries is fine? as long as your account is US?

It's safe, unless warranty problems I guess. Apart from that should not have issues.
Your Switch account can be either US, EU or Japan.

Lets sya you pick Malaysia. There is nothing on the eShop for it. Also kinda not supported in games as well. Like Mario Kart and etc.

Thanks Rei7 for the replies, guess i'm gonna get switch in HK next time

i recommend GTR shop!! the most cheapest and good sales service!!
the only thing to worry is warranty. godbless

i actually concern the heat during docking mode will kong the battery at a faster rate

this guy selling the price not bad man for all the bundles.

same only now vs later. console kantoi need to go back respective country.
and most place in JPN is still OOS. so, higher chance of empty hand come back.

EU retail copy really can’t purchase US DLC!? Lucky only my Mario+Rabbid is EU copy among all... which I didn’t plan to buy the DLC anyway

Another topic, anyone here try to purchase game in EU eShop using M’sia Credit Card before? Is it just the same process as easy like US eShop?

Comparing eShop digital game prices, looks like the majority of the cheapest games are from South African eShop store.

https://eshop-prices.com/

Doom for Switch for example, is RM200 after conversion from the S.African eShop store.

Inb4 "how to buy from South African eShop store"? That, you'll have to research yourself. These days, I only buy mini games in eShop store, and big titles I buy physical, that way I can resell them once I wanna move on to the next Switch title.

Most store should work, our credit card or debit.
Before the launch of the Switch, Nintendo allowed international credit cards.
Before only Canada e-Shop supports it, and yeah dlc sorta region lock, unless you are on the right region. Same like PS4, dlc works that way as well.

If tekken 7 is playable on switch. I would definitely grab one

Possible that it might get ported over at some point. Switch doing well to pass out for Bandai Namco. They already planning to like release 3 games for it next year

same here. eshop for indie/mini games.
big games always go for physical for resell - and switch games resell value is very high!!!
