1-2 Switch at JPY 4720 = ~USD41, ~SGD59

way too overpriced (not to mention however much Maxsoft is going to mark it up when forcing you to buy)

and bundle 139SGD means 80SGD for BotW?

that is the part I dun like about collecting hard copies. it's useless to me. the cartridge is so small, the case is a waste of space

does looked uncomfortable when switching (snaps fingers) between face buttons to right stick

see the link, a lot of info

Does look uncomfortable. So far all the controllers (PS and Xbox) and also Vita has the analog sticks and face buttons placed angled, making them more ergonomic. Only the PSP has left analog stick directly below the d-pad. It wasn't too bad on the PSP cos games usually don't need you to switch between d-pad and left stick frequently. Also note that the PSP's stick is very low, almost the height level as the d-pad buttons.

Face buttons and right stick is different though, you have to move your right thumb between the two all the time (except maybe racing game where you rarely have to move the camera). And the joy-con sticks are taller (like PS/Xbox controllers), so there is a depth motion too, not just vertical movement. You may end up holding the Switch at an angle instead of holding it tightly, or may end up with repetitive stress injury.

When each joy-con is used separately they look uncomfortable too, cos the buttons and stick are flushed to one side (left or right when held horizontally). Maybe it's not a big deal given how very tiny the joy-cons are.

Yes, looking at the rumors, seems like it's a great dea. Plan a year end holiday, go Japan and get 1 set back. By then will have more games and maybe console price has dipped a little. Just not sure of the tax though. Probably overall still cheaper than here haha.

Without the force bundle crap definitely cheaper than here , lol .

The bundle game sucks . Not the zelda the other one .

Can't believe maxsoft is forcing buyers to buy bundle in preorders .

I am guessing they foresee switch sales gonna drop like crazy might as well earn 1x time big one through pre-order from hard-core Nintendo fans.

Things are looking bad for local switch sales.

Multiple developers say they have no idea how Nintendo got the Switch to be so cheap. Talking about higher quality specs than we think, or the stuff packed into the Joycons? It's interesting. Can't wait until people take it apart and see whats inside.

Starts at around 5 mins in.

My only hope is Zelda is BIG enough of a game for me to tide over months on a moderate basis.
