The amount of available games at launch is truly abysmal…basically Zelda and a bunch of (expensive) mini games -_-
Accessories price is crazy high.
No region lock, Nintendo finally realized they were THE ONLY company to still region lock their stuff.
Paid online service and instead of free games like Sony/Ms you get to rent a nes/Snes game for a month, then it becomes locked -.-
I’m keeping an eye on it because I really miss Monster Hunter and with a bit of luck they’ll release XX on the Switch. My biggest fear is that it will become a Wii U act. 2, with 3rt party software houses skipping it and very few available games.
During the year, Xenoblade 2 and Has Been Heros are also released. I am quite sure I cannot play them all in 2017!
It seems a short list of softwares but with a golden lineup.
I still can’t find any info on sales in Taiwan, and language options. If you have any info, please post! I would like to buy one on the lease day if I can buy one in Taiwan.
I forgot to post the most important one, Super Mario Odyssey. HYPE!
I guess people will sell the switch bought in Japan and brought back by plane on internet as usual but I am not that interested in buying them. I would rather choose actually go to Japan if that is the only option.
It looks like there are official dealers in Taiwan according to Nintendo Global, but, I have never seen any store, including 家樂福 and electronics centers actually selling Nintendo products. At least Nintendo did not sell WiiU and most of software in Taiwan as far as I know but I could be wrong. http://www.nintendo.tw/support/shoplist.html
i’ve also not seen it. i need to go to carrefour this week, i’ll try to remember to ask them. i think as for language you get to choose what language you set up with then thats it. no region locking with the switch.

I was thinking same as you before, but Has-Been Heroes was not multi-lan, but English only, I mean, people who do not live in the countries where English is used, they would not have access to the it. For example, Nintendo Japan does not list Has-Been Heroes as an available software.
The consoles and physical games will be region free however e-shop downloads won’t be. This isn’t an issue though because you can have up to 8 user accounts and each can have a different region so if the Japanese users want Has-Been Heroes, which looks great, they just need to make a second user with the US or Europe e-shop and download. No issues as long as they can read English.
I could not resist posting this vid of BotW. Totally beautiful. This Zelda is probably the last one for Shigeru Miyamoto since it took 5 long years to complete.
Today I called Game休閒館, one of the authorized distributor of Nintendo products, to ask if they are going to sell the Switch, and they told it was unknown yet. It seemed to me the chances Switch coming to Taiwan were slim.
