VSTECS Phils Inc has announced that they have been appointed as the official distributor of the Nintendo Switch in the Philippines.
The announcement was made over on the company’s official Facebook page, saying that this appointment is to enhance the Nintendo Switch’s market visibility and accessibility; on top of leveraging the expansive retail channel network of VSTECS, encompassing consumer and electronic stores, IT retails, gaming and multimedia outlets, as well as Nintendo Official Stores at local online shops.
“Our distributor appointment from Nintendo is a significant step towards making Nintendo Switch a household name in the Philippines. Our extensive channel network and market reach amplify our ability to deliver the gaming products to a broader audience”, says Jimmy Go, president and CEO, VSTECS Phils.
Additionally, on top of being the official distributor, VSTECS Phils will also be the designated service center for Nintendo Switch in the Philippines, meaning that consumers can rely on the company and its affiliate service centers nationwide for both customer support and maintenance services.
With this announcement along with the recent news of Malaysia getting their own official Nintendo Switch distributor, its less of a farfetched dream to see much more accessible the device would be in the Southeast Asian region.
