    » 1. This upcoming Friday will see the release of the Nintendo Switch, the Japanese gaming titan's first console since the under-performing Wii U which was released in 2012.

The exact prices in Thai baht have yet to be announced, though the console will retail in the US at $300 (approximately 10,000 baht).
