Been busy with life and my last console was PS2, so haven't touch console for almost a decade. Comparing the system now and then, such a huge difference.

Planning to buy Switch in 1-2 months time. Before that, anything i need to know?

Questions:
1) Read here that I need to get foreign country account to buy digital games. Does it mean I can open both US + Mexico and they are still tied to 1 user? Or how does it work?

2) Any guide on connecting Switch to PC monitor?

3) which latest Anker or xiaomi powerbank that is suitable to charge Switch? I heard there is specific model that is similar?

4) specific memory card recommendation?

5) worth to get gulikit king kong pro controller?

Awesome, I ditched my full fledge console for the Switch because of my schedule, I can just turn it on and play a quick round of games and move on to other things in life lol.

The accounts from any countries are fine - just depending on the preference of games that you play. For example, Japan account - you can access to Japan-exclusives, while US accounts are mainly to purchase game because you can't access the store via a Malaysian account (not available). I'm not sure if US prices are cheaper than the Europe ones, but I am using a US and JP account. You can have multiple accounts in one Switch - even when you open the store, it will ask which account you want to access the store with - same goes with the games as well. No worries.

All Switch comes with a dock - just connect it via HDMI and you're good to go (monitor has to have HDMI). I am using Xiaomi's powerbank to charge - no issues on which powerbank works or what not for me.

Memory card - I assume you will get the SDXC (>32GB) and at least a UHS-1 support with a decent write speed will do.

Hope that helps. Oh, do make sure you get the latest mid-2019 Switch (red box) - do check the past few pages on this thread.

So let's say I buy game A on US account, and game B on JP account...
When I turn on the switch console, if I login to US account, I can't play game B? Need to relogin to JP account instead?

From my experience you can still play on either account - no problems at all.

I usually purchase games using my US account and play with my MY account (main game account).

There is no region lock within the same Switch console. Both games can play in both account. Including DLC purchase with US/JP/etc, works on both account. However it means you will have two separate save game files with different progress.

What I do is, which ever account I purchase from, I always start the game in one of my main account (e.g. US), not necessary the account I purchase from.

Most obvious is the box. New switch has red box. Other than that you can check the serial number.

Today or tomorrow maybe? Nintendo is attending gamescom. there will be a press for indie showcase.. so maybe just indie games going on sale. Summer sale already over so nothing big for a bit.

Tokyo Game Show is next month, so I think there will be some nice sale when that happens.
