Hi, I wonder if the switch is region locked?
Can I buy an US game to play on my EUR system?
I want buy the US limited edition of Fire Emblem Three Houses, and not the EUR one.
Because the US edition look more beautiful, and the OST is on a CD, not a fcking usb key.

As far as games go Switch is region free, it can play a cart or digital game from ANY region.

The games themselves however may have some region locking. For example, Splatoon 2, you can only take part in Splatfests of your game's region (so if you have European copy, then you can only play in European Splatfests, even if your Nintendo Account is set to USA) and also DLC will only work for correct region (made that mistake, bought US Octo Expansion as I had some left over cash on my US account, it didn't work). Many games don't have any region locking however (ie. Breath of the Wild. You can have European version of the game and buy US Season Pass and it will work).

    Will you give me mouth to mouth oxygen if my throat closes?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Nah the air can do that
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Ask @x65943 he's trained for that stuff
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Kissing random dudes choking in celery? Really? Need to study for that?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Yes it requires a degree
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    I could also yank out the rest of my teeth but theirs professionals for that
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Just kiss me Kyle.
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    "Just kiss me Kyle." And I thought all the godreborn gay stuff was a smear campaign
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:

    Sweet found my Wii u PSU right after I ordered a new one :tpi:
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    It was waiting for you to order another one.
    Seems like, your PSU was waiting for a partner.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Keep them both
    separated or you'll have more PSUs each year.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Well one you insert one PSU into the other one you get power
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    It literally turns it on.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
