That means tax free with another 5% discount showing any Visa card huh?

Suppose the Pokémon game in japan is no English huh haha.

I thought Pokemon game in Japan support English...When you launched the game for the first time, it lets you select the language you want to use...It is highly unlikely that they created a Japanese only pokemon game and for the rest of the world uses another one game...

Hi, so what’s the general consensus on getting the switch overseas? Is it worth the hassle to get one overseas from Japan / US for the slightly cheaper price or is it better to get one locally? Also I missed the 11.11 deals so anyone know whether Nintendo switch have any Black Friday deals? And if I miss the BF deals do you think Christmas will have any other attractive deals? Thanks, it’s my first time using this forum

I would recommend just to get local set from shopee or lazada. There are many sales in this period of the year (9.9, 10.10, 11.11, black Friday, Christmas sales etc.) in those platforms mentioned. Also, flash sales occur quite frequently for switch in shopee so look out for those too.

I heard that you can pick your language once you boot it up so I can just pick English haha

Hi guys, so I have just gotten my switch yesterday and started to fiddle around with it. For my switch itself, the region i chose 'The Americas' , my questions here are that :
1) when setting up my nintendo account , do i set my region as United States as well in order to use the eshop ?
2) what would be a good country/region & time zone to stick to , if i just wish to stick with 1 only ?

Alright, thanks! I’ll probably keep a look out on these platforms. I guess a cheaper price overseas isn’t really worth all the hassle :-/ I’m really regretting missing out on the 11.11 deals... hopefully there are equally good deals for Black Friday since I’m intending to get it before December.

Haha don’t need to know modding, it’s one of the starting up options iirc

The above post is a good example of the blind leading the blind...How is changing language which is an option on the Nintendo Switch suddenly requires modding? So if you buy local set and set the language to Japanese, it will require modding and void warranty? So Nintendo left the language option for people to void warranty?

Have to consider the adaptor (cause voltage different I think) + no warranty. So if suay and got a spoilt Nintendo switch cannot easily repair or exchange... but it’s cheaper if you buy from Japan though

Adapter should be because different country uses different wall socket...Some people would buy the UK adapter because they prefer 3-pin over the 2-pin plug that is sold in Singapore...

People have the misconception that buying a Switch overseas equals to no warranty...It is not true at all...You can still claim warranty at the country you purchased the Switch from...If you go to Japan quite frequently, Nintendo Japan will not stop you from going to Nintendo Japan for a faulty Switch...Same applies to the Nintendo Switch that is bought in any other country...
