I own ps4 , ps3 , 3ds , psvita and pc ...

Not a fan of zelda sry . Willing to wait for more games and better cheaper switch lol .

Good Decision. I don't Recommend getting it now anyway if you don't play zelda game now. Come december there might be mario bundle which may be cheaper.

Heard alot of problems with some users ... maybe they gonna redesign the switch especially the dock that scratches the screen .

Guess I gonna wait for the switch slim or v2 or something.

Gonna thank those beta users for the reviews :D .Good luck for pre-order users.

Basically near to zero problem here as far as i know. V2 might be next 2 year or something :s13:

IGN rated Vita higher than 3DS when it was launched FYI. So you base your purchase off a review? Never bother to list the positive ones? If you want to share information, why so one-sided?

What happened to the Vita in the end? I own a PS Vita btw but many claimed it was a failure. Good hardware and specifications doesn't make a console successful. Switch got some problems but which console launch doesn't have problems? Dreamcast and N64 all launched with great specs for their generation but lagged behind. Game Gear was far more powerful than Game Boy and look what happened?

actually most people who bought switch is also nintendo fan boy ..haha..i am one of it...

bought switch not due to the hardware is great..but..the ideas and design they throw into making this switch..has been following nintendo since gameboy era...quite regret that i didnt keep my 1st gen gameboy as i sold it to my fren to fund my gameboy light..
for me i bought Switch because it provides new way of gaming and not jus hardware refreshes.

anyways talk about it after the first year and see how the third party support goes.

for the moment. jus enjoy Zelda :D

Haha... local set price so high...

Now that the Switch is region-free (at least easy to change) let's see how Maxsoft suffer.

if I didn't managed to get the cheap amazon.jp set, seriously I will not be even looking much less buying a local set. waaay too expensive.

Some console shops say they bringing in Disgaea 5 and say it is in English. Anyone knows if it's the Japanese version with English option or is there an Asian edition with English cover? I know some Vita games have English version where US don't have.

Lowest cheapest bundle is 639... Zelda MSRP is $89 (US60) and 1-2 Switch MSRP is $79 (US50).

If u take the 2 bundled game cost into consideration..our local Switch actually cost only:

$639 - 89 - 79 = $471.

$471 for a local set is super cheap liao

But you can get prime discount for those 2 games then becomes about SGD$125...

With Japan Switch would be SGD$525... so extra $110 for Maxsoft support

The best local bundle was from Qoo10. $590 after $100 discount. I paid $585 after using qpoints discount. So $585 - $89 - $79 = $417. Not too bad for a local set with warranty.

Look like Bomberman R not just online lag.

The control is not very good (Input lag and not fluid) according to alot of reviews.
Kind of killer as this game require precise control because is so fast pace.

I guess konami didn't port well. And kind of expensive.
that one i think Konami is testing water.

the controller problem might be due to frame rate issue.

i agree, some of the game prices is obscene.

In that case, we can also get local Switch bundled with 2 games at $565 with qoo10 $100 coupon, 10 dollar qpoint, 15 dollar off for purchasing 500 dollar gift card.

690 - 100 - 10 - 15 = $565.

Factoring external discount isnt really fair to our local distributor. We should really compare MSRP. :)
