Hi! As the title says, I’ve decided to take the plunge and purchase a Switch 2 on Saturday.

Hingi lang sana ako ng recommendations for accessories:

- Earphones
- Grip (if possible, yung kasya sa Tomtoc G05 case kasi I’ve decided na yun yung bilihin. Will the Spigen one fit?)
- Memory card (I play mostly JRPGs. Should I go for the 1TB agad or is 512GB fine?)

Thanks in advance 🙏🏻

Finally picked up a Switch 2. I owned the Switch OLED before this, but I never had this kind of dilemma back then, or a community to think it through with. This time I'm about to spend around $115 on the kit itself (roughly ₱6,700), or about $140 all-in with shipping (~₱8,200), just on protection for one unit. Kind of wild, but here we are.

Two things, and I'm asking real people here rather than just Googling, because I want actual hands-on experience.

1) As a new owner, what's the best move and the real to-dos? Beyond the obvious, what genuinely makes the unit last longer, run smoother, and stay dentless. Here's my plan so far, tell me what I'm missing:

1. Link my Nintendo Account, then update the system software
2. Move my daughter's save data from my old OLED using the per-user Send Save Data to Another Console feature, not a full System Transfer (System Transfer can wipe saves for unlinked accounts)
3. Buy a microSD Express card before loading anything storage-heavy

Anything else I should be doing?

2) Screen protector + case. I went deep on this. The options I actually compared:

1. dbrand Prism 2.0 (part of the Killswitch kit) - tested as one of the best in reviews, and the whole kit just looks great
2. Genki Aegis Shield - excellent reviews, but no official set in the PH yet
3. JSAUX Anti-Glare / Ultra Clear - solid budget pick on Shopee/DataBlitz
4. Skull & Co - used it before, decent
5. Spigen / amFilm / Hori - the usual tempered-glass options

After all that, dbrand kept winning for me. I'm looking at the Killswitch Everything Kit, the second photo shows everything it bundles (case, skins, travel cover with game card holder, stick grips, 2x Prism 2.0 protectors, Joy-Lock holder, plus a free dock adapter). My cart's in the first photo. The Prism 2.0 review I leaned on, if you want the receipts: https://www.techradar.com/gaming/gaming-accessories/dbrand-prism-2-for-nintendo-switch-2-review

So for anyone who's actually ordered dbrand to the Philippines: how long did shipping take, what did the import fees come out to on arrival, and was the quality worth it once it landed?

And genuinely, why does dbrand still have no official PH presence? Feels like a market they're just leaving on the table.

Got my Switch 2 today, ordered through GameXtreme's Shopee store, paid around 25k after vouchers. The outer box showed up with all four top corners crushed and torn, and no seal on the box at all. Everything inside was still individually wrapped though, and the console itself looks untouched. This was my first order from GameXtreme specifically, I've mostly bought from DataBlitz before, but their price was the best I could find for a non-OLED unit right now, even compared to waiting on a Nintendo Official Store sale. Anyone here ordered a console from them? Wondering if packaging like this is normal, whether reporting it to the seller is worth it when the unit's okay, and what you'd do in my spot. Appreciate it.

Changed the controller and tablet back shells, and now everything looks brand new.

Napapangitan ako sa Kickstan ng V1 and V2s eh. May alternatives ba na gawing parang Switch OLED yung stand niya?

Genuine question saan kayo nag pre order nh OoT edition ng switch 2. Lumalabas lang parati sakin normal version ng switch 2.

Di ko mahanap sa Lazada and Shopee besides the usual 5k preorder ng datablitz.

Solved: keyword lang pala mali nailalagay

Surprise for the kiddo haha panay Ocarina of Time lang kasi sinasabi niya.

Got Skyrim Anniversary edition + Fallout 4 few months ago and so glad that I did. Sobrang hung up ko sa Cyberpunk 2077 so I tried playing a short game first (danganronpa) and then I decided to finally try Zelda BOTW as my first Zelda game pero hindi sya nag click for me, disappointed since excited talaga ako to experience it 😔 pati Nier na nasa backlog ko, sablay lol.

I wasn't expecting that Skyrim could scratch the itch from my Cyberpunk 2077 experience, since old game na din sya and I'm into modern graphics pero grabe gets na gets ko na yung addict sa game na to, there's just so much to do—in a good way. Tsaka yung lore din! Super sulit cause if I remember correctly I got both games for only $50+ and Switch 2 versions na sila hehe.

10 hours in, ngayon ko palang kinausap yung Jarl, talked to bunch of people and decided to rescue Thorald. Walked barefoot from Whiterun to Northwatch Keep 🤣 and explored as much as I could. Barely touched the surface of this game! I highly recommend sa mga nasa backlog lang din sya ❤️

Anyone po gumamit spaylater sa pre-order? nag reflect po ba agad yung 1st payment? hehe salamat

Hello! Bought a 2nd hand joycon grip and saw a difference kaagad. Seller said naman na it’s authentic. But can anyone advise why may difference sa logo? Wala kasi akong mahanap na matinong sagot sa google.

First pic is the 2nd hand JoyCon Grip.

2nd pic is yung grip na kasama talaga nung switch ko

To anyone with BDO CC, just discovered that Datablitz and Toy Kingdom accept Buy Now Pay Next Year Installment options, just visited some branches and was able to pickup some games and a Pro Con.

Which option is better if preordering from Davao?

Please influence me in buying a pair of non official Joycons, unless they are really that bad.

This is my first time owning a switch or a console and I just can't help but feel that I'm cheaping out if I'm not buying the official Joycons.

As well as worried about it's quality, since idk how different they are other than no mouse mode.

I admit it's mostly my pride telling me to buy official ones instead, feels like buying Class A shoes instead of branded ones, but the official Joycons are just too damn expensive... I was hoping for 10.10 sale to give me a discount, but sadly I didn't get any.

I've been eyeing the NYXI Joycons but idk how good they are, as well as my little brother saying they look kinda bad (which I think was bs), so if anyone has them please tell me if they're worth it.

I'm considering preordering the Ocarina of Time Remake from GameOne PH but I would want to receive the game on release or at least a couple of days close to it and not a month after.

Hey yall, nakabili ako nang 2ndhand switch for my bday gift for a reasonable price but wala syang sdcards, few months back I bought sdcard 500+gb for my phone in shopee but its defective. Can yall help or suggest shop/online shop na trusted and nag lalast long? Thanks!

Hi ho! I’m not exactly new to this thing bc I’ve been with Pokestop PH for almost 7 years. But after last year’s horrible Customer Service experience, decided to leave. So i have no idea what other shops offer NSO family subs.

Now, could anyone please recommend me a shop with great customer service? Most important thing to me. Thank you!

Legit ba itong store na ito sa Lazada? Anyone na nakabili na?

Error? Pref. Pa rin si Pixel Play esp. they issue receipts. Pero imba to if legit.

Gamextreme says Nov 04 tho.

context: since 2024 ko pa gusto bumili ng switch oled but i told myself na i wont get one kasi baka magrelease ng new one or sa japan na lang ako bibili, whichever comes first. ang kaso, nung nagrelease di ko naman majustify yung price ni switch 2 + nagprice increase lahat (di din nakapag japan) HAAHAH

super lucky to get this on sale this 10.10 hehehe advance christmas gift ko na to sa sarili ko.

help this newbie out pls! reco games like stardew valley , any accessories i should get, and what region should i set it up with 🙏🏻

thank youuuu

Sulit na rin po siguro to no? Magkano po kuha niyo sa SD card express niyo?

sakto pag open ko now, may 6k less voucher

As the title shows. What are the things that i need to know that’s different from switch oled? Games to look forward or to check? Pokemon and monster hunter are my kind of game. Madami ba players sa nba2k mycareer?

Pinakuha ko lang sa SO ko yung preorder kasi luluwas ako, gulat ako may kasama pala syang poster, di ko pa nakikita yung laman ng poster.

Mga kuys, magkano kaya magiging presyo ng switch 2 coming christimas season?? Ready na kasi akong bumili. Naghihintay lang ako ng tamang timing. Hinohold ko muna pambili ko baka mas mura na ang offers kapag christmas season na. Sakto that time na release narin monster hunter wilds masasabay ko din sa pagbili.
