Hi all, I'm about to get my Switch soon.

Been a handheld Nintendo gamer for a long time, so I'm wondering how's the Switch now in terms of eShop access/profiles.

I'm assuming I can just use my current profile on the 3DS, which is set to Canada/Alberta for eShop reasons, can I now switch to Singapore, and still access eShop since it's region free?

If not, what if I create a fresh account and set my country to Singapore. Is it easily interchangeable like 3DS where there's no consequences, just a matter of which eShop I access to?

If you remember your nnid by right you can try logging inot nintendo.com to access otherwise you need to create a profile on switch, then login to to Nintendo. Com using your switch profile and proceed to link up your nnid to your switch account from there. You can change region on Nintendo.com to access different region eshop, no lock there.

qisahn on lazada, qoo10 or shopee. see which is cheaper then buy. will recommend to go for shopee as you can collect and check on the spot. on shopee there isn't any cheap bundle as you can buy the games invdividually from different game shop that offer the cheapest price. in the end will be cheaper then those you buy in the bundle.

Anyone bought this from Taobao? Mine is quite loose, can turn around easily on the analog sticks. Is it like that? Or the quality is bad because it is from Taobao?

If you profile is X country, I don't think it can be changed. Also, there is no eShop in Singapore. In the end, I had to create 2 accounts because the first one I chose Singapore incorrectly and as a result, unable to access the eShop.

dun expect much quality if you buy from taobao, especially hori brand. you get what you paid.

Hori is not a bad brand. Of course you can compare it with the original where you are probably paying 2x the price.

Hello ,You can change country. you need to change it on nintendo.com website,login your profile which is created from nintendo switch, then log in again on your nintendo switch once you change it on nintendo.com. there are digital downloaders depend in 1 account so they change often on nintendo .com

you cannot change to another country on nintendo .com most likely due to you still have some money left on your eshop, you cannot change region like this. you need to finish your credit.. so if you change region often, best to use the option that allow you to pay exactly the amount of the game whichout leaving any credit

Hori is the original what. Nintendo doesn't make these Mario joy-con caps, Hori does. Hori licensed from Nintendo the Mario properties and made them. Hori is a famous accessory maker, they make officially licensed products, they are not a pirate brand.

Here we are talking about some other 山寨 companies copying from Hori and making pirated versions of Hori's (not Nintendo's) products, selling them on Taobao. Unless you mean these 山寨 are not a bad brand but can't compare to the original Hori where you pay 2x the price.

On taobao, Any brand Like Hori can be pirated so if compare to amazon price on japan which likely is the full retail price. original Hori accessories itself are already price about the same as original accessories on amazon . Price on taobao is likely to be more cheaper so you can buy cheaper imitation. quality is up to you to judge.. like pple can buy fake prada bag and feel it is the same as the original.
