The Japanese Yen has seen better days and with the current exchange rate its considerably cheaper to import a Switch than to buy one locally. Especially when accounting for sales tax

Does doing something like this (ordering from Amazon Japan while being in the States) actually work ? What about shipping though ?

Yeah, it works perfectly fine. Shipping usually takes about a week or so. It used to be a great place to buy Japanese goods, but they increased the shipping fee a whole lot in past few months.

I have no idea why this ancient device is still popular, well maybe its the titles that matter, its huge success for Nintendo, I'd save the $300 and get a steamdeck instead

The hardware, despite being an artifact, is being kept alive by fans. I hope the next switch uses Zen3 and a cut down 680M GPU.

Not to mention the Steam Deck doesn't include a dock. As a dual PC/Nintendo gamer for many years I think it's cool and a good value, but despite the similar form factor I feel like they are playing to somewhat disparate markets that don't entirely overlap. And even though the Steam Deck is neat I think I would still lean towards just building a traditional gaming PC, but that's just me.

That person just wants attention, like most internet trolls. They saw the post and their final thought was "....I want to instead talk about something else."

I truly think the best thrill some folks get are bans as it riles them up
