anyone buy from amazon?

not sure if i made the right choice

before it is ok to buy on amazon due the expensive local set. now local set with warranty is only slightly expensive, if not same as amazon set which come with no warranty at all. doubt you have compare against local price, if not you will buy on shopee or lazada for cheaper option..

Hi guys, would like to ask a few questions regarding the switch. I’m thinking of buying the console and was doing a little research by myself.
1. It seems like the bundle usually is more expensive as compared to buying the console and games seperately?
2. Is the best deal for buying the console currently through buying it from qisahn using the shopee app for $400? Or are there bundles from other shops which are more worth it in value?
3. What are some game recommendations (aside from smo and botw)? I personally am looking at super bomberman r, mario kart 8 and deathsquared.

Thanks a lot for your time :)

1. if you buy on line on eCommerce platform, do note some games price are supported by the plaform etc like shopee and lazada help to subsidy the price to go down more . if you like to buy 1 by 1, then this will be the best option for you to choose which online shop give you a cheaper option. if you want to save the trouble, then 1 shot get the bundle as individually there isn't subsidy for bundle, the price will be higher compare to seperate buy.

2. refer to 1, your buying pattern is don't mind the trouble buying from different online shop, just the console itself qisahn or shopitee is providing the best deal now.. if you like to check all your product, then buy on shopee as at least you can do self collect if the shop have the option to let you do it.

3. bomberman have been out for a while so can find 2nd hand on the game. deathsquare is only on eshop currently. currently if you really like action game with story line, can try attack on titan 2. another muz buy is screen protector. lol never see you mention it but temper glass is seperate buy from the console so you also can choose from the cheapest online shop

I go physical with Nintendo exclusive games and digital with others. It’s up to your preference. Some would go all digital. Note that the Switch has only 32GB internal memory so you need a micro-sd card if you plan to get a lot of games. For RPG, other owners here are a fan of Xenoblade although I haven’t had time to take a look at it yet. Still enjoying Zelda BOTW too much 😄 as I myself am new to switch with just around 2 months in. You can take a look at some spoiler-free gameplay in youtube to see if BOTW fits your style.

For eshop sale, google savecoins.me

Thanks, I’ll be sure to check the website out. Any other game recommendations? Embarrassingly, I am actually pretty easily motion sick. I watched the gameplay for xenoblades and well, with the character running around like this I got a little giddy and had to drop it off my to buy list. Actually even smo was a little giddy for me. I wonder in such cases, should I even buy the console :(

I think if that’s the case switch is a better choice than say, PS4...

Thanks for your reply! I usually buy it one by one and so I think buying it online would be my style. Another thing, are there huge differences with screen protectors. The price ranges are super huge. I’ve checked out carousell and the bomberman there are all sold close to brand new prices so I guess that’s not much of a difference :3

If that’s the case, you can stick with 2D platformer games like Celeste or Kirby or those with top-down approach games like Bomberman. :) I think you’ll also get dizzy with Zelda BOTW though.

Aww, does it even makes sense for me to spend 400 on a console for like only those few games though? It's not even the hot titles too D:

Hi,

My switch account (US) currently stuck with 10cents in the wallet. I cannot change country because of this. Any idea how to remove the 10cents? Is it possible, lets say to buy 10USD item with 10cents in wallet & 9.9USD to clear it?

You can try the option to pay only exactly the amount , so u need to top up 9.90 with your credit/debit card on top of 0.10 cents to pay for the 10usd game

Dont buy bundle. Confirmed not worth. Buy the $400 switch then buy the games individually.

I always look out for offer in lazada and shoppee. Managed to get mario odyssey and mario rabbid kingdom for less than $50 each after coupon/credit card discount.

Cannot even get such price from carousell.

You’re right :s22:
Zelda on lazada seems to be quite good price atm...
Btw are there anythings I should look out for when buying a micro sd card? Like is there a specific speed I should look for?
LoL ... Ultimately you will get both in the end. See which one on offer 😂
