    Where to import Switch games these days?

    Topic title. Haven't imported anything in yonks and the Okami HD physical release and new Taiko no Tatsujin game have got me interested. I know play-Asia is usually the most expensive, and Amazon Japan seems to charge a LOT for shipping. Are there any better options I'm not aware of?

    AmiAmi, Nin Nin, in addition to those you mentioned.

      Shipping from Amazon isn’t that expensive considering they use DHL and you get your item in 3-5 days. I just pre-ordered Okami HD and shipping was £6.40. It looks expensive because you pay for all the import fees at checkout.

      I realize that a lot of people are used to free domestic shipping so £6.40 is a lot, but shipping costs from the other stores are basically the same, it just takes longer.

          According to here, English, although they don't sound too sure.

                  Aye, and Taiko no Tatsujin is getting an English patch on August 9 for those who didn’t know. Definitely getting that one as well.

                      People on Reddit who imported the game say yes

                            Curious how much okami is in uk compared to the physical version in japan costing £17.

                              Where are you shipping to? Postage to the UK is coming up for me as 1876 yen, so about £12.50, before import tax.

                              £15.99 on the Switch eShop. Which is actually pretty decent compared to the sorts of prices other Switch ports have been commanding - it's only by comparison to the physical copy it looks less so.
