ordered the cable few days ago, now i need the hori stand.. lol

where did u order the cable?

I was skeptical initially, but now I hope (and I am confident) that the switch will get third party support like how the 3DS did - titles which are fun and only can be found on the platform. Given that the switch is a hybrid system with adequate (very powerful for a handheld game console if the console is played portable) processing power, I can definitely see devs interested.

Probably won't get the switch locally though, unless price drops in SG. Will likely import from amazon, though I heard Japan has issues shipping it out.

seeing how everyone buys accessories from amazon jp... someone should start a mass order LOL! then while meeting up can bring switch and discuss accessories too

just make sure the cable is thick enough, specs with 3A will be gd. (Branded) quality 2A cables should be gd enough.

miniso 3A cables works well as posted by hookwai

went to miniso today but didnt see the 3A one so bought a 2.1A one..

charging well in sleep mode

Wise choice. Google engineer Benson Leung advised against getting a USB A to USB C cable that draws more than 2.1A and above. You risk destroying the device by drawing more than 2.1A from the USB A port.

Leung also noted that none of the USB Type-A ports that are being sold on Amazon and elsewhere are not rated to support 3A. And those that are claiming to be rated at 3A are not in compliance and could severely damage your device, and whatever you have it plugged into. Whether that’s a PC, a wall charger, or even a car charger.

Seriously... please don't anyhow say without any knowledge how current works. Its the load controlling the current. Even if you have a 5V/1000A adapter plug into Switch, the Switch will only draws what it required. Only voltage is different, throw in 100V onto Switch it will draw 100V.
Please this is basic science...

While this is true for the case of USB A to micro usb or other legacy connection, this is not true for the case of USB A to USB C connection. USB C is designed to provide a higher draw than the older connection. By using an USB A to USB C cable, the USB C side does not recognize the USB A as a legacy connection. It still sees the USB A end as a typical USB C end and will thus try to draw as much current as the cable is rated as.

maxsoft should wake up and stop chopping us srsly
shops seems to be using this to clear stock of their unwanted amiibos after artificially inflating the price...

buy amiibo in sg is really like buying from scalpers in the US except the one scalping is the shop...

in US, all amiibo is sold at SRP which is 12usd...then scalpers buy the wanted amiibos and sell it at their 'demand' price

in sg, shops just skip all and sell it at their 'demand' price

Qisahn bomberman R at 57.90

 

[TrueBeliever_jh]

Bomberman is quite a poor port. Should wait for the patches to come in then decide to buy or not.

Think I will jus slowly play Zelda until end of the year.

Guys, have one issue for Zelda. How to remove the fog of the map? I ventured out of Great Plateau liao, but the new areas does not reveal the map. All still blackout.

Sad thing is that Singapore and SEA market in general is too small for Nintendo to care or appoint 2nd distributor.
So we'll probably have to bear with Maxsoft.

In every region there is an orange light tower just like the one you climb in Great Plateau. You need to find those tower and climb to the top to unlock the region map.

Maxsoft will not bother one. They have been doing this since Wii time but I think they probably loose more money during Wii U era. Now Switch & Zelda amiibos so hot, they sure chop like mad. Even some accessories price also gone up.
