I thought the price of PS4/5 game and switch almost same right ?

Could it be PS games more suited for teenagers and switch games cater more on pre-teen?

i think nintendo a bit more expensive, they are well known for "nintendo tax" dry.gif

same game can be had on another consoles at much more cheaper price with non of the performance issues, of course other consoles have the advantage of local digital store pricing but u cant play it handheld

Saw the news of upcoming OLED model just 20 mins before 7.7 Midnight Shopee sale...

Nothing major except slightly bigger OLED screen and LAN port... won't be available until 3 months later, or maybe longer wait here... and cost extra RM200 at least...

Think think think... Finally pulled the trigger and got the current model at RM 1,283...

that is really brave of you, salute.

Got mine last week just to review this monitor. tongue.gif Was planning to get the Pro version too next year. Guess that the CPU upgraded model won't come anytime soon with this OLED model around.

Price don't drop because Nintendo themselves never sell them at huge discounts on their digital store, thus maintaining the price for physical games.

Nintendo isn't like Sony who likes to slash their game prices to 50% off or more. For Nintendo games there are Nintendo Select, where Nintendo will sell their games at huge discounts but physical only. But it won't come out until the end of the console's life cycle.

They care about the value of their games more than others earning a quick few bucks by making a flash sale.

All the above mentioned only applies to first party Nintendo, not 3rd party games. You can still find physical games for cheap sometimes but you have to hunt it la for jackpot deals. Switch is still hot selling console, and there is a lot of new users buying their console, and the value won't drop by much if you don't hunt for those cheap deals.

If you want feedbacks from your video.. I would say try to not make it like boring advertisement. Hope i'm not offending you, but I hope you can improve your video even further. I see a lot of effort is done in making the video. But the way you talk need to be more spontaneous, not like reading a book. All the best on being a youtuber, hopefully in a few years you'll be famous smile.gif

Can the official Pro Controller work on a computer or just the Switch consoles only...?

Any recommendations of controllers that can work on both Switch and computers...?

Not directly. Pro controller not universal like others. You may google way to do it.

I use 8bitdo sn30pro+. Work well thru many platforms. You can try to look at their v2.

Yes it works with PC games but you will need some sort of software to map the buttons properly. But it does work. It’s not as user friendly as XBox of course.

I don't own a Switch. Thought about buying one back in March, though.

To be honest, I didn't know there were no LAN ports on the old Switch models. lol

Anyways, found the new features to be underwhelming. Also, if you're someone who prefers playing games docked then those new improvements are kinda pointless except for the LAN port which allows for wired connection.

You need remap pro controller in pc.

Ds4 works in both pc n switch too but you need 8bitdo usb dongle for switch.
