Hi guy, I tried to join other ppl Nintedo family but it show "You cannot join this family group. Your ability to join a family group has been restricted due to frequently joining and leaving family groups.". May I know why this happened and how to lift the restrict?

my guess is that the family group you are joining has had a number of people leaving and joining till it passed a certain threshold (set by Nintendo)

perhaps get the admin of the family group to talk to Nintendo support to “reset” the status … or join another group which u made sure is new and/or made up of more fixed members

hope that works out

Understood. Thanks for reply ya

Hi guys,

I'm in consideration after trying out the Switch at Toys'R Us and wanted to know how Switch games can be purchased here in Malaysia, either in digital copy or physical only?

to purchase games digitally on Switch you need to setup a Nintendo account and use/associate that account to your console. Nintendo accounts are free to create/register.

You can associate different regions to your Nintendo account (only one region at a time). Unfortunately the MY region don’t have eShop so users here usually set their region to (for example) US

different region eShop may have different prices, discount/offers and charges in different currencies

You can get prepaid Nintendo reload credits or use credit card or like me I use TNG Visa

Physical games can get from game shop either in their shop or online store or used from other gamers

By the way, do take note Switch 2 is launching this year and the console is backwards compatible to most Switch software (official statement)

Hi newbie here. I want to buy a Nintendo switch for my 3 kids (10/7/5).

Which model should I buy? And what about the games? Do I need to buy them separately?

Tq in advance.

Wait for Switch 2. Should be launching soon.

noticed SG and MY also no ESHOP

how normally u guys get games? phsiycal card or other eshop?

New to switch and my expectation was like PS5 can buy and download easily.

Nintendo eShop To Launch In Malaysia 18 November 2025 https://www.lowyat.net/2025/369704/nintendo-eshop-malaysia/

Hi guys, planning to buy 2 units for my kids + pokemon game. Should I wait for the bundle or buying separately (console first then buy the game via eshop once launched). What is the advantage of buying the bundle?

Also, normally how to get the best deal? I want Malaysia official set. Thanks!

few days back during the 10.10 sales, the official Nintendo store on Lazada had the Switch 2 (console, no games) going as low as 1840 and the Mario Kart Bundle at 1950 iirc - hoping 11.11 will have a better discount

Thanks for sharing, any benefit in term of pricing by choosing bundle set? Or should I choose just the console?

thinking of trading-in my switch v2 for switch 2

anyone have experience with trading in with gamers hideout, impulse gaming etc

for me i'll opt the console-only cause the game in the bundle is not something i need (mario kart) - even if i were to take the bundle, and sell the game to others separately, i don't want all that hassle

tak pernah trade-in, but asked around before - to me when the give the valuation, the heart does drop a little
Also, got one more store, Heavy Arms at Subang SS15 - no harm to call up or PM their whatsapp, mana tau ada rezeki got good deal waiting for you

Thanks!

fyi to those on the hunt, the 11.11 sales is similar, i didn't really collect the coins/gem/vouchers - best i could get for console only was 1,835
