Hi sifus, been researching a bit about the Switch lately and planning to get one since whole family stay at home nothing to do lol. I have some questions hope u guys can help me out smile.gif

1) Does the switch come with basic free games? Like table tennis or some simple exercising games, or do I have to buy them too?
2) Is it better for me to buy games from eshop and download them? Or better to buy the physical games themselves with the cartridge?
3) Do I still need to buy an SD card if i were to only buy physical game cartridges? Cuz if i dont download games from eshop then dont really need sd card right?
4) Are games from stores like this Animal Crossing reliable? It's so much cheaper than the physical copy, is there any downside to buying these kind of games?

thanks in advance!

1) No basic free games. Must buy, but check the free to play games, there is a lot of games to play. https://www.nintendo.com/games/game-guide/#filter/:q=&dFR[priceRange][0]=Free%20to%20start
2) This depends, if you want to resell buy physical, if not physical is good. Can save by buying physical usually, or if digital try to find reputable buyer on shopee for reload cards, could get some discounts. (Please remember to pick US region for account, since there is no malaysia region whatsoever. If you are indie game type of guy can buy from South Africa or Argentina region, some games are cheaper on other regions. Please use this website yo check prices of other regions https://eshop-prices.com/?currency=USD )
3. Switch internal memory not that big. SD card are good to have, not like it's expensive nowadays. Can buy it next time as well if budget constraints.
4. Too good to be true, it's just rental. It's against the terms of service as well to profit from buying a game from eShop. The seller can change the account password anytime he wants, or revoke you access from playing the games you "bought". Suggest by normally. Your account and even Switch console could be banned from online play if Nintendo wants. Meaning if you want to play online games next time, might need to even buy a new Switch and what not. So it's at your own risk la. I won't risk all this. Buy legit, physical or eShop. If want cheaper buy eShop reload cards from trusted Shopee seller or Lazada. Don't buy something that's too good to be true, and shady.

Thanks for the swift response, I've never own a console before, always been a PC gamer haha so not sure whether i should make the change yet. Will continue research biggrin.gif

If you want exclusive games go for it. Nintendo games aren't about graphic or anything of that sort of things. It's more about good gameplay. So yeah keep that in mind mostly. Also it's portable, that's the best selling point. Can play anywhere you want, especially out on vacation for example.
*
Been watching some ACNH gameplay, it looks pretty interesting biggrin.gif
I'm also interested in the 'exercise' aspect of it, cuz stay home whole month no exercise lol

QUOTE(jhleo1 @ Mar 26 2020, 10:51 AM)
It is not right for you to buy now since short of stock now unless you willing to pay at very high price which easily above RM1.6k for new v2 set. If buy 2nd hand set, make sure COD.
*
ya i found 1.6k on lazada, nowadays COD dangerous la stay home wait for delivery safer tongue.gif

For asian market, stock is coming from china.
And based on info from my colleague in china foxconn factory, they are ramping up production output perday. In china, output is around 10k units/day from 8 production lines.
I have been in china foxconn factory, there, the production line/workers are no jokes man. Works like fuking robot.
*
wow this is actually interesting. But it's weird why don't Malaysia sellers just take sets produced by local production factories? Would save a lot of costs, maybe production too low?

Not really. We suppose to run production until december for about 1.2mil sets (sorry my mistake perday is about 4000++ sets running 2000++ sets per 12 hour shift)
That how foxconn works actually.
They want people in western fell more premium feeling when they see 'Made in Malaysia' products rather than 'Made in China' products.
*
But now MCO production sure slow down a lot no?
Premium for western but we have to search high and low for even imported Japan sets sad.gif

On a totally unrelated note, I have a switch lite now which I have ACNH on it, been playing for almost 150 hours. Now planning to get V2 switch but cloud save dont work on AC :/
Any tips or solutions to help ease the process of migrating my items to new island?

So far havent read anything useful for it. Only "heard" about people saying nintendo will help transfer if your console break down only. So i think starting over its the only way sad.gif
*
Ya I only saw news that migrating data will be a feature coming by the end of the year. It's honestly stupid how cloud saves work with Nintendo, ridiculous that some games dont support it (like AC). I'm not gonna start a new island again, either just stop playing AC or dont buy new switch lol


QUOTE(syumul @ Apr 28 2020, 11:10 AM)
Yes. We cannot buy the switch we produce. Once complete packing, all will be shipped outbto their designated destination.
Even rejected set need to be repaired to reduce rejection.
Foxconn make it clear, we need to maintain rejection ratio below 1%.
If more my factory will kena red flag.
Foxconn is very strict about this matter. We can hantam play the switch in the office but cannot take it out. Hahaha
Since MCO, Malaysia factory output = zero Switch
*
No wonder western countries stock shortage seems like worse compared to us here in MY.
Is MY shortage due to Japan & China low production also then? Since China don't produce for western, SEA is the one badly hit by their low production?

I mean really depends on you. Starting a new island wouldnt be that bad since you can transfer stuff from your old island. Only pain in the ass part would be the terraforming part i guess.
*
the thought of having to spend another few days to terraform and move villagers house here and there makes me want to vomit ady doh.gif
Also, having to recollect all the fossils, fish and insects is too much work sad.gif Damn it i wish AC just enable cloud save!

Does not work for New Horizons. Nintendo developing a different solution for it for save backup and transfer in the future. Basically they don't want people duplicating items in game, but end up having duplication bug on release anyway lol

the solution is coming by 'the end of the year' whenever that is, could be 31st December 2020 for all i know sad.gif
I just want to be able to play on two consoles bye.gif

Hi sifus, I'm currently using switch lite & bought a new v2 switch. Can I use the same Nintendo switch account for the new switch? I'm currently playing animal crossing on the old switch (switch lite) and I scared if I log in on the new switch it will attempt to wipe all my game data on the old switch. And since animal crossing don't support cloud save my 200 hours game play will be gone lol
And btw I'll only be playing physical games on the new switch so I won't download anything from eShop on the new switch (for now at least). When the AC has cloud save I will move it to the new switch as well and just sell the switch lite.

Yes. You can use the same account on both switches.
Save files are all stored locally. So even if it uploads new save to the cloud, it will not affect any local saves.

The switch will not automatically update local data with cloud data.

And AC save is tied to the system save. It’s not even saved in the same folder as other games.
*
when i log into the new switch do I have to choose to setup the new switch by transferring everything from the old switch or is there an option where i can still use both switch together?

I do not transfer.
Transferring of save files will delete the saves on your previous switch. I don’t really see a point in that.

I just set up as new switch but login to my existing account.
Then head to the e-shop and redownload all my games.

Oh there's an option to set up new switch while still being able to login to online account? That's what I'm looking for rclxms.gif
The way nintendo handles cloud save is such a mess.

Keeping hearing people ask about Bigpay. Found some saying it works on Mexico eShop for example, which is one of the cheapest eShop for 3rd party titles and indie games. Sadly South African eShop Bigpay doesn't work. Can't confirm for USA or Japan.

On a personal note of mine I use CIMB credit card and works fine on US eShop as always, buying Animal Crossing 2 weeks before launch. Hatsune Miku Project Diva Megamix on the Mexican eShop for half the price compared to US pricing few days agi, and some indie games on the South African eShop. Just in case some were wondering. Debit also can.

can confirm big pay works on Japan eshop.

Anyone here who has used the Genki Covert Dock?

Just placed order with Genki SEA after I reached out to the Genki support team on whether they have shipping to Malaysia.

Estimated arrival is Aug20.

Can't wait!

The jumpgate I bought still can't be used with the Skull & Co gripcase unless I really force it.
*
Personally, waiting 2 months just for a Bluetooth adapter is not acceptable. Would rather just get the Gulikit Route+ Pro, functions the same and would fit better with a case, not to mention it's cheaper too.
As for the jumpgate, mine works perfectly with the Skull & Co gripcase no issues at all. There's so much room on the jumpgate how can it not fit? :/
