No web browser.

good. focus on what the device should be doing instead of those extra goodies.
i remember PSP/PS3 browser were rubbish anyways. :s13:

Well the answer doesn't fully close the door on whether it will appear at a later stage.

Next, whether Nintendo eShop is fully supported and functioning for Switch at launch, we can confirm that it will be possible to purchase and play downloaded software at launch, but we are not sharing further details at this time. And in terms of the Internet browser, since all of our efforts have gone toward making Switch an amazing dedicated video game platform, it will not support it, at least at launch.

Is it 33329 Yen? I found one but it doesn't ship to Singapore.
Only the grey version with the Amazon special bundle. It says shipped and sold by Amazon.co.jp

I believe this includes the official Nintendo case with screen protector film

Yeah this is the one i saw. It doesn't ship to Singapore directly but I just ordered and shipped it to my Tenso address. Even with GST, it's still cheaper than SG price and there's no FORCED bundle. Hopefully there will be a cheaper deal for the next few weeks on Amazon Jp and I can cancel this order.

Damn, this release not global eligible. I will wait, anyways I got pre-order from TOG.

If amazon jp have a wave that ships globally then I cancel my TOG preorder and use the credit to hoot games.

Sorry for my late reply. Yes this is the special edition. Now currently left the gray type. They do ship to Singapore just now when I ordered but not now. I think to many people order liao. Try ordering again later. I have the same experience also when I tried the first time, Singapore address not allow so I waited than try again and it works.

okay. lets be realistic
if with GST. the console should be around 455SGD + 139SGD = 594SGD

so if we got anywhere near 600SGD, count ourselves lucky.

It will be at around 700SGD. Last time when Wii launch at US$249.99, maxsoft forced bundle and sell at 649SGD.

Good thing the Switch is not region locked, so now we can import from Japan with no worries. Rumor is saying that Singapore's pricing for Switch + Bundle is $699.

Yea 699 is really asking for PO cancel, somemore in that 699 got at least 60 is for a game nobody wants.

Currently a jap set cost around 36000yen (SGD$477) and lets say shipping cost SGD$100 and 7% GST which add up to a total of around $630+.

If the final local bundle retail price cost SGD$699 as I mention way very early ago in this forum, in actual fact there's no saving to import from Japan unless free shipping, best to ownself buy in japan get tax refund and tourist 8% rebate at Bic Camera.

Not to forget jap import set SGD$630 is without any game and no warranty
Local set SGD$699 comes with Zelda and 1,2 switch and warranty

End of the day you decide yourself
