I feel like screaming.

This is the THIRD time I buy a Nintendo Switch (first time jailbroken but messed up UI. second time damaged/dirty, and now settle for secondhand original)

Except now I try to use it and I find out that when I go to eShop tab on the Home page, I get a popup saying "Nintendo eShop cannot currently be used in your country/region.". I go to first tab for Nintendo Switch Online and I get popup message "This application cannot be used with the current country/region setting of your Nintendo Account. View the official Nintendo website for more information about Nintendo Switch Online".

So I go to Settings and try to change region. Everyone on the internet told me wonderful things about how Switch is region-free and playing games is no problem. I change to Europe. Still cannot access. I change to Australia/New Zealand. Still cannot access. I change to The Americas, still cannot access.

I feel like bashing the Switch against my wall. WHY ARE THEY ENTERING OUR MARKET SELLING AN INCOMPLETE PRODUCT THEN??????

Why is Switch so popular here? The prices of physical cartridge game is RM150++. I don't believe everyone is buying at that prices, but I also don't believe everyone is buying a jailbroken system just to play.

What is the solution to this problem? I can't buy legitimate games from the legitimate estore, it's like they want me to pirate their games then. Someone please tell me if you are able to use eShop or what other solution you found??

Just change your Account region to US or whatever other region that is supported.

And just FYi, Nintendo doesn't actually bring in the Switch into our country like Sony does for PlayStation. Is third parties that bring it in.
