Hey guys. Not sure if this has been asked before, but what USB-C cable do you guys recommend for the Switch?
Can I just grab any cable off Lazada? Or do I have to look for specific brands/characteristics?

Need to use my power bank to charge my Switch while on the go. Very hard to find usable power outlets :/

Thanks for the response, guys!

Will just grab any random cable on Lazada then.

Been spending so many hours on Zelda, need a powerbank to help keep it charged biggrin.gif

erm, you prolly want to get a proper cable if you are looking for a USB type-A to USB type-C cable
a cheap random cable without proper resistor might fry your switch if you are not careful

Pretty sure it has a demo on eShop that you can try before you buy, would show you if it's your kind of game or not.

Didn't know there was a demo. Will definitely check it out. Thanks!

QUOTE(tenakira @ Feb 7 2018, 11:16 PM)
Platformer? CELESTE is hype now

Was considering this as well. Not sure if there's anything else that I missed. Thank you!

QUOTE(MarioKart @ Feb 8 2018, 06:56 AM)
There is a demo version in Eshop. Personally, i don't like it.

For platformers, nobody beats Nintendo.

Wait for "Kirby All Star Allies" next month.

Will check it out! Thanks!

Hey bro, got any more details regarding this promotion? First time I'm hearing about it. Is it only relevant for eShop purchases?

Gold points are rewarded for every digital/physical 3DS/WiiU/Switch games purchased; which you can use it to get 3DS themes or discount for certain WiiU / 3DS titles. However, there’s no Switch specific rewards can be claimed for now.

Currently, Switch games purchased thru:
eShop - $60 x 1 gold point = 60 Gp rewarded
retail - $60 x 0.2 gold point = 12 Gp rewarded

Starting March:
eShop games get 5% discount as Gp; example:
$60 x 5% = $3.00 (300 Gp)
retail games get 1% discount as Gp; example:
$60 x 1% = $0.60 (60 Gp)

Therefore, if you hv accumulated 500 Gp; you can get a $5 Off your next purchase if u wanna used them.

the 1st half of this year seems to be a bit slow for nintendo switch (maybe nintendo want to put everyone focus on Labo) but there are quite few big games coming in the 2nd half of this (fire emblem, bayo 3, maybe even pokemon/metroid prime 4)....
*
Yea, I agree. Waiting for the new Pokemon game & also Metroid rclxms.gif
There's a lot of interesting ports coming also. Diablo, Wolfenstein, etc.
I'm also waiting for the physical releases of some good games from the eShop like SteamWorld Dig 2, Furi, & Darkest Dungeon.

I think it's gonna be a good year for the Switch.

Just realised my Bayonetta download code is region-locked to the EU region. My Nintendo account is set to the US.

Can I switch my account to the EU, download Bayonetta, & switch back to the US region?

https://www.gamespot.com/forums/system-wars...n-is--33377747/
I read that this should be fine, or am I missing something?
I'd rather not have multiple accounts on my Switch.

Just bought Dead Cells for the Switch yesterday.
Suffering from some frame rate issues, but the devs are already working on the fixes.
Really good game nonetheless!

by frame rate do you mean slowdown when in battle with lots of enemies and effects on at the same time?

I was anticipating such after the dev reported it on twitter but so far I only encountered 1 or 2 skipped frame when traversing the area (with no enemy or fighting ... just jumping). seems more like slightly cannot load the next section in time kinda effect

nothing major as far as actual  gaming experience so far
*
Yes, you are correct, I was referring to skipped frames. It happens to me during battle too bangwall.gif

hades been cheaper before? hades no physical copy right?

Hades just came out this year - so the price is still quite high. Will wait for the next round of sales.

And nope, no physical copy yet. But I think Limited Run Games will probably release something considering how well the game is doing

I see. Good to know. Is eshop will be doing regular sales from time to time?

I think it's quite similar to the usual Steam Sales - Summer, Thanksgiving/Cyber Monday, Christmas, etc.
They'll send an email if you add the games you want to your Wishlist. I've received the emails (for Bastion and Transistor) 2-3 times this year.

Hello, can you guys recommend any shop in KL to buy Switch that's not Gamer's Hideout? Thank you.

I bought my Switch and most of my games from M4G in Midvalley. Good selection of games there.

Thanks for sharing! Didn't really notice the game before, but I'm definitely going to pick it up now. Been itching for a turn-based RPG for a while now. Last one I played was Dragon Quest XI.

QUOTE(double_agent @ Feb 21 2021, 02:39 PM)
TQ for the response. Price okay there?

Yea, I think so. I've compared it to GH, and it's definitely cheaper + better selection.

Is the price more or less the same with lazada/ e shops?
yeah, apparently its done under square enix branch , and the previous game on previous platform is a hit. maybe u can try download demo 1st n see if got in e shop
*
For Lazada, I’m not sure, sorry. I don’t usually buy from them.
For e-shop, I usually buy games there during the e-shop sales - so M4G is definitely not cheaper 😂

And thanks for the tip! Downloading the demo now
