lol retarded pricing, like who will go buy sia. Zelda alone at least $80 liao, together $649, almost same price as the Maxsoft bundle price.

For maxsoft there's only 1 bundle which is either neon or grey console + Zelda and 1,2 switch. The rest of the bundle is not official thats why you see console only cost $569

makes you wonder what is the actual suggested retail price. and what is the price MaxSoft selling to the shops.

we all knows suggested retail price includes profits for shops.

Most probably game's title screen or option will have link to eShop download page. Just like Mario Kart 8 and Hyrule Warriors.

Uhhh idk about yall but if you dont mind about the warranty like me and someone you know happens to go to Japan then why not just just buy from there :/ As foreigner we can get it without tax so it will be 373 sgd for the console, you can even get discount if you purchase it at the right store

1) most of us don't happen to have that friend.
2) it's alot of trouble, I rather buy from sg than to trouble my friend or others to somehow get a good priced switch for me. It's not worth troubling them just to save some cost.
3) that is switch only, nv include Zelda game cost.
4) if I go Japan to buy switch, buying switch takes time. I rather go Japan and tour instead of hunting switch and waste time. Not worth it.

How does that work? Amazon will give you a code, you redeem the code on nintendo eshop?

I wouldn't recommend that given the actual implementation of region restrictions on the switch is still not clear. If you buy from Amazon, you will surely get a code for the US eshop. But what if your account is SG or Canada, can you redeem the code on your SG account? And what if the actual Botw game we get in SG is the UK version (many games apparently are cheaper in UK so local game shops tend to bring in those), will the US expansion work on the UK game? If I have SG console, using Canada account, playing UK game, and from within the game's menu it links me to eshop to purchase the expansion... which country's eshop will that be? Will they accept SG credit card?

I know I know, there is no region restriction. That's not saying a lot without going into the details. All it means is that you can buy a UK game and play on your SG console, but it doesn't tell you whether you need to use a UK account to play the UK game, for example. We don't even know whether one Switch allows multiple account, of different regions, and if so how games/DLCs can be shared among them. Expansion/DLC compatibility across regions is yet unknown. Best to hold off buying expansion until more is revealed.

The biggest assumption, which is most likely wrong, is that you can just walk into a shop in Japan and find a truck load of Switch on the shelves for you to pick up. Chances are the stock level will just be as limited (proof in that Japan Amazon already stopped accepting PO) and it can be as elusive (and prices may be jacked up). If you are going Japan on tour, are you really going to spend hours or half a day, a day going to one shop after another to hunt for it? I wouldn't subject my friends to that, they have much better ways to spend their precious time in Japan.
