Just got off the phone with DHL Japan.

Don't want to get anybody's hopes up but the representative told me that she thinks the hold on all Nintendo switches will be uplifted tonight. But, a big but, she cannot promise. If the hold is uplifted and catches the late flight tonight, the package will arrive in Singapore by tomorrow.

She made it clear that there are a ton of people experiencing the same problem and that Amazon is (now) aware of the battery regulations that is triggering the hold.

Fingers crossed.

Based on my tracking from Nagoya, the hold needs to be lifted before 530pm otherwise it'll miss the flight to HK and possibly delayed 1 day.

Based on what he paid, I believe there is too.

Normal member is:

Items: ¥ 5,994
Shipping & Handling: ¥ 835
____________________
Order Total: ¥ 6,829

If there is prime discount it'll be:

Items: ¥ 4,795
Shipping & Handling: ¥ 835
____________________
Order Total: ¥ 5,630

Which is equivalent to about SGD 70.

I tried subscribing to prime but dont have discount.

Wah like that is a duel between the legendary flexible Japanese customer service vs the notoriously rigid Japanese bureaucracy liao.

Who will win?

Bomberman even at $66 is hard to stomach, considering you'll likely be buying extra Joycons as well.

Wonder how Puyo Puyo compares against Bomberman

Sent a support ticket to Amazon Japan this morning and this is the email I just received from them.

"We'd judged the item as exportable and accepted orders from overseas. However, we were unable to complete the delivery of the item, because the shipping carrier judged it to be unexportable based on their export standards.

For this reason, your ordered item had been returned to our distribution center and we requested a refund. We'll let you know by email once refund is complete."

Just a question. I brought the Switch package that comes with Zelda and 1-2 Switch.
But anyway to convert to DLC? Feel very lazy to keep swapping the cartridges. As my kids plays the1-2 Switch, but I play the Zelda only.
Any advice? Thanks

For me I prefer puyo. Maybe get puyo in April when eng out and Bomberman if I have extra money

Yeah. Was reading Bomberman reviews, it really seems like yet another Bomberman game. Granted even a rubbish Bomberman game is still great fun in multiplayer, but still. 1 2 Switch is quite bad and I don't predict it to have anywhere near the lasting appeal of a Wii Sports, was looking around for more multiplayer stuff

Nope, cannot convert. I'm almost fully digital on the Xbox and PS4 and dicking around with cartridges on the Switch is...not fun.

GG. Luckily I still have 1 set from them. Now need to figure out get 1 more set from where... maybe wait for developer unit and get all black.

Snipperclips is definitely one of the Switch's hidden gems (not like there're many of those now)
