Does anyone know where to buy the original Switch 3 pin charger from Nintendo? Most stores in SG seem to be selling the 2 pin version, I know Amazon UK got 3 pin one but they not shipping out of UK.

Oh same price? U mean when it is on console mode?
Shopitree selling controller at 95$ but 7 days warranty compare to another seller @ 105$ but 3 months warranty.. wonder the 10$ is worth it and not sure why only 7 days ..

Yes, when you want to slot in your joycons into the controller’s adapter. The switch device is able to fit nicely into the dock though.

Same price for Tampines’s outlet. I saw 3 different variation for that casing too.

I just joined the Switch club yesterday.

Q1. How to register the warranty with Maxsoft?

Q2. Has anyone has bought the Joy-Con Charging Grip? I would like to get one more, but am unsure where to get it.


TIA for replies.

Any recommendations for the best places to pre-order games online which we can collect right away during release day? (Must be reliable shop without any risks of the shop cancelling/refunding pre-orders. I don't mind paying full price deposits too.)

I used to buy almost all my games from play-e but now their app not even working anymore. I want to find another source where I can pre-order games conveniently and safely.

Normally i get from shopee. Whichever shop cheaper. Or check flash deals for promo.

Not sure if can collect right away. Depends on shop.

As mentioned by rocketbunny, just use shopee or lazada. Go for the cheapest price. If u aren't that gan chiong spider to play on day 0, there are a lot of options for u. All of those sellers mentioned are reliable, at least from my own experience

Hi All
Few days become passive member. Got a lot of info from this thread.

Just order my switch yesterday(*prefer the grey,but only got neon).$388 from playtrendsg. Est to received it by Wed. Can't wait to play it.😁

Few newbie questions.
1. Is microsd essential? Is 64gb enough?
Plan to play mostly using physical. But maybe will buy or dwld some games online(eshop).

2. Is there any free download games?

3. For charging purpose, can I use any travel adapter or QC 3.0 adapter?

4. Any recommended usb-c extender or docking? Actually ok to use original dock, but too bulky if want to travel. Read a lot of feedback about 3rd party docks brick the switch.

Thank you.

1. Probably since there will be free game to download once the online service start
2. Same as 1
3. You will need a usb pd charger to charge it at normal speed
4. Not too sure about this

1. Yes, 64GB should be fine, but 128GB would be better, im thinking to change to 128GB sometime later.. Physical games use Nintendo Switch storage. Most use fairly little, but all do and some can use a lot.
2. There are some which are free
eg. Fortnite, Galak-z, Fallout shelther, Pokemon quest.
3. Need USB C PD (Power Delivery)
4. Just randomly bought a usb C to C extension, works when switch just launched, but its been a long time since i last use my switch with the tv (like twice only).. so im not sure bout this.

Pls correct me if im wrong anywhere:s34:

Too pricy relative to other brands, and it's literally just a charging grip, I don't see why I should have paid so much for it when there's no reported problem with other brands
