Wed Sep 20 02:55:13 +0000 2017Replying to @Story8ZP
Nintendo Taiwan did not give us any information yet, but it shouldn't be too far.
Wed Sep 20 02:55:50 +0000 2017For some reasons, Breath of the Wild is not listed as one of the games planned for launch. What do you think might be the reason?
Wed Sep 20 03:20:58 +0000 2017Nintendo Switch will sell at a price of 9,780 NTD (w/ tax) in Taiwan.
(Approx. $324 USD)
Wed Sep 20 03:23:27 +0000 2017...and Taiwan's not alone.
Nintendo Switch will release in Korea also on Dec, 1st, at a price of 360,000 won(Approx $319 USD)
Wed Sep 20 03:26:29 +0000 2017Also, same as Taiwan, the Korean Switch:
-Has no Korean system language

Since neither Taiwan nor Korea Nintendo Accounts have access to Nintendo Switch Network on Dec 1st, I guess HK would have to wait ,too. :(
