I believe the preorders are way more than 10.

If people can afford expensive iphones, this is nothing.

just a figure of speech. of cos its more than 10.. but at the same time they could have gotten a whole lot more if they werent that greedy. Oh well, what do i know.. hahah

They already got 5.4 million units sold and counting.

At least we get official support and eshop this time.

yeah thats overseas. u were asking why there isnt any hype in malaysia...

Market too small but it is a good start.

im just gonna wait until malaysian eshop is up and see between this or steam/windows handheld

one thing for switch 2 console to be more expensive, but even for games to be higher priced, ie mario kart world 80USD~RM340 while in MY is RM398 is just BS. while steam games are actually cheaper compared to buying them overseas.

Picked it up last week.
Loaded up pokemon arceus.
Played for 10 minutes.
Put it down and have not touched it since lol.

At this point it will just be a other display item on my table

my switch 1 was mainly for mario kart and fifa... i like odyssey as well but really struggling to find time to play it.
i just feel like i need to perfect every stage and its taking too much time lol

That is a very naive take on product from 2 completely different category.
Ppl see iphones as a symbol of status. Carrying expensive, highest Iphone models that could cost up to 5 digits as bragging rights.

Even years later , some of these phones can still retain their price tag.


But the same cannot be said for Nintendo switch ( or switch 2 ) , they are seen as kid toys . ( No offense to gamers but you know how the MY public see videogames in general ).

Second hand / Used Switch doesn't really sell for much . Not to mention the price isn't just high , it is extra ordinarily high .
Not exactly hard to choose when I can literally pick up 3 games + the console with the MSRP from Mario Kart bundle.

On top of that , Mario Kart World has already dropped to 150-160 on shopee .


One more thing , Switch 2 literally has no games if you are not obsessed with Mario Kart , Cyberpunk ? Released years ago. SF6 ? Played and "beaten" on both PC and PS5. Switch games upgrade ? Cool but You can already play both of these Zelda games on Ryujinx years ago with High res texture and HDR Mods . So yea , Switch 2's launch so far is quite a disappointing experience.


I was atleast expecting a new xenoblade game , a new zelda game and a pokemon game . Unfortunately theres 0 news on the former 2 and the next pokemon game doesnt release until the end of the year.

I see where you are coming from but let's just enjoy it as it is.

Anyways tomorrow is the official release date!

never understood why hype is important to begin with when it comes to one’s enjoyment of playing games - unless the joy of talking about it is more significant

But I digress… to answer the 2nd question I was busy clearing my Switch 1 backlog of games (and occasionally playing permanent features like Splatoon 3) plus two NS2 games - Bravely Default and Kunitsu-gami

So the Malaysia e-store also launched today?

Anyone got the NS2 already?

No excited mode , lol ...

Got mine at 12:04 just now

I only got time to pickup tmr.

it is still unclear whether there will be only 1 eShop for all the SEA regions or one for each country but either way the SG or MY region still don’t have access to eShop when tested on the console

hi all, i had my switch 2 (sg version) for a week

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.

physical and other countries' eshop

iinm they planning to open local eshop, but no date yet

for digital, be ready for the "nintendo tax" even if there's local eshop because buying on other platforms are normally cheaper even in other countries
