i am thinking of buying a switch for FAMILY games with my 7 and 9 year olds.
i have a home brew Wii (gen 1) and was wondering if i can buy switch (gen 2) and install home brew.
i read need firmware 4.1.0 to exploit.

but is it worth to break warranty immediately? also how much are original games.
im looking at games like mario kart etc. im a pc gamer so no solo games for me.
is switch a good upgrade from Wii ?

Anyone bought BNIB switch OLEDs on Carousell? Looks like there are a lot of sellers recently
New model coming soon?
Shopee and Lazada also on sale.

I just got mine for $33x and if I’m able to clock my spending for the quarter, my purchased will be another 5% lower.

Did you buy from Carousell? I cant find any retailer selling at that price.

I think the new model will most likely be out 2nd half of next years base on rumors online. Unlikely will be this year since there are still games planned for switch soon to be released at the later half of this year (e.g. Hogwarts Legacy). But yes, the switch is more than 6 years old and Nintendo even acknowledged that it would be hard to keep up the momentum in sales so I guess it is high time they launch a new console

I got mine from Shopee, during Flash sale.

Thanks for the info. Will check it out!
That time Lazada also got offer but I missed it, ended never buy and missed my UOB CC min. spending and UOB One interest.
Else interest $4xx, that Switch is Free de!

For this purchase, Shopee Flash deal $373.44
-$10 seller discount
-$25 Shopee Platform discount
Total: $338.44

If I hit my UOB Quarterly spending, there will be 5% Cashback capped at $100.

So final price approx $338.44 -$16.92 =$321.51

I bought it during End Aug and few days later the final price I checked can go down another $5.

Does anyone have a good carrying case to recommend?

Want a hard case that can accommodate the docking station, power supply, pro controller, joy cons and HDMI cable.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi guys, just got my first Switch. Unfortunately the cable of the included charger for the dock is too short for where I want to put it.

I'm already using a power extension cord but I can't move it any closer to where the Switch is.

Is there any longer version that I can buy?
