Contemplating in buying switch v2, till now can’t find a retail price ps5 disc edition.

Already read the news there will be a newer switch coming out this year, still relevant to buy v2? Really interested in playing zelda botw

If you don't mind selling it back if you plan to buy the newer version then you could buy it now really while you wait. Personally I don't think there will be much stock for the Pro version when it's out as well, just like the PS5. With semiconductors shortage and Nintendo themselves saying they have a hard time keep up with demand, better just get v2 and have fun first.

I myself just rebought one yesterday, after selling my v1 6 months ago because I'm bored haha

Planning to buy animals crossing edition too, how much and where did you buy it from? Came across a shop in Shopee selling for Rm1379, no games. Claiming it is Maxsoft warranty, legit?

Bought mine used at 1.2k with AC physical game and a few accessories. Standard price AC is for around 1.4k, but which shop you planning to buy idk.

I guess the price is right then, just wondering your switch is it Maxsoft set? The seller says the power adapter is Jpn 2 pin flat type

Pulled the trigger today, bought the Grey V2 Maxsoft set, 2 pin adapter (not the flat head), Zelda botw, Ring fit game set, official switch pro controller gey color, added tempered glass and pouch. Recommend me which game should I play next, already have a gaming pc rtx3080, and ps4 pro. Something that is not available on those 2 platforms

Considering to extend the internal storage capacity, 400Gb Sandisk A1 Ultra for Rm220 is a good deal?

Or 256Gb is more than enough?

I use 128gb only since I don't buy that much digital games, and when I do I can count them. Up to you in the end, if you go digital recommended to go higher size wise. For someone who mostly goes physical, don't need a large size, mostly enough for a few games, a bunch of screenshots and many updates.

Just browse the eshop, there are plenty good games on discounts, i guess 256gb should be more than enough, a bit overkill for 400gb or 512gb

Another thing, I noticed the download speed is rather slow, connected to 5ghz wifi and my isp plan is 500mbps 😅

Buying SD Card make sure it's from official seller, a lot of cheapo sd cards are fake, and the price difference is pretty obvious.

There was further promo on Sandisk Official Store at Lazada, got the 400Gb Ultra A1 for Rm209

Anyone can recommend a good third party joycon replacement for handheld mode?

Playing it on tv i’m using Switch Pro Controller which is nice, the original joycon doesn’t feel that nice on handheld
