This is wrong. You do not need to buy a new power adapter if you buy an American Switch power adapter, both adapters (US and AUS) will output the same voltage. All of the legitimate Switch power adapters are switching from 120V-240V at 50/60Hz so as long as the plug matches, you can plug it right in.

Plug converters are $5 for a pack of 3... cheaper, more useful, and less wasteful than buying a $30 Switch power adaptor.
