Hi guys, just got my Switch on Monday and playing Zelda BOTW, I played in handheld for 2 nights and last night I decided to play on tv, after playing for 2 nights the battery level is at 13% so I dock it to charge first before I turn it on to play, after charged for more than an hour I turn it on together my tv screen also on and showing the battery level now is 79% then I start playing BOTW, after played for 15 minutes I go back to home screen to check the battery level and it is now at 81%, so I continued to play and believe that the battery is still charging normally but then after 2 hours I go back to home screen to check and the battery level now only 85%, so is this normal? Is this mean the Switch charging became slow when playing in docked mode?

Sounds normal to me.

Is a relief to see your answer, I'm totally new with this thing, btw I prefer to play PS4 more.

Any idea when the upgraded switch making its way here? Am thinking if I should just get one now or wait for the improved version..

It's going to be released mid August in US. So maybe late August or later in September. Not that long of a wait. I would wait.

Ah cool. Looking forward to it xD

It's normal cause u cant expect the input of charging can exceed the processing of playing

sleep mode/ shut down mode charging = 100%

Giving that play game = 80% of processing
Charging speed probably = 20% speed

Just got my first Switch and Fire Emblem 3 House today, loving every moment so far! Although the console can get a bit warm at times but that's to be expected I guess.

Anyone here know any good repair shops for the nintendo switch joycons in Klang valley area? Got 2 pairs of joycon and both left analogs got drift ;((((

Is it even worth to pay to fix the joycons?

Thanks for your info, love the freedom of this thing, the more I play it the more I like it.

Old box above, and new box below with the improved battery life for OG switch.

urgh, why can't they release it without the dock....

Now Nintendo has unofficially announce free repair for drifted joycon but not sure malaysia :\
Cannot confirm

Enjoy to the max!!
It's been 1 year anniversary for my switch and not sure how many hours invested into it

Xenoblade 2 more than 120 hours +
Zelda 30 or 40 hours
Smash Bro 40 hours +
Octopath 20 hours +

Switch LITE

They want people to play how they want it to be tho. So they made it like that. There is Lite version now anyway.

anyone shares NSO family pack here?

any downsides if i share with strangers?

Anyone having problem purchasing game vouchers from US eshop? I am having a problem since yesterday night. Before that it was fine.

Update:
Ok, its was their site technical issue due to large influx of demand. The promo is ending soon thats why a lot of people doing last minutes purchases.
Managed to buy a pair of voucher and redeemed for Fire Emblem Three Houses and Astral Chain.

They taking pre-orders on Impulse



Looks like it's gonna be more expensive for now. Out around Mid August

The hell. Nintendo itself does not increase price and has announced price remain the same. Come to Malaysia, RM 150 different. Stupid Maxsoft

Don't complain too much. I bought my Switch on launch day at RM2000.. forced bundled with Zelda and 2 amiibo.. even worse. So it's cheaper when you compare to back then

I agree with you. Now they are just profiteering instead of being honest.

It's not fair to compare like this. Everybody knows that during the launch the price is always higher for all electronics alike. That's a choice all consumer like you who bought during launch made.. After for so long the price naturally depreciates. It's like telling people, guys I bought it at 2K a year ago so now you guys are paying RM150 extra, so don't need to complain. Does that even make sense?

So yes, we can complain about it because if Nintendo doesn't change the price, they shouldn't either. That's just plain shitty.
