Yup, fuck that. The conversion from 49,980 Yen would be ~$480 CAD. Absolutely not paying an additional $150 because some neighbouring country is run by morons. - ThreadSky

Wait you might be onto something here. I’m going to Japan later this year. Is it worth it just to buy straight there even after currency conversion fees?

It would be, but they’ve purposely region locked it to Japanese Nintendo Accounts and Japanese language. They sell a global version there without that but it wouldn’t be worth the price after conversion.

Ah thanks for the info. Either way, I was planning on on trading in my old switch towards it so I guess I couldn’t do that in Japan

Oh dude I’m sorry this is fuckin insane

Honestly my Switch 1 was mostly just a Mario Odyssey and Animal Crossing machine. Had other stuff but nothing hooked me like those did. I would have tried other things but they never dropped their game prices, which are now raised. I really just cannot justify this thing at all.

Yeah it's gonna be interesting to see what the price is gonna be here in Europe. Switch was mostly a Pokemon + RPGs machine for me, but it's gonna be expensive.
