    Generally good, but the actual device didn't match the images. I assumed photo was of actual product I'd be getting, but controllers different colours. Packaging was ok, but looked like someone had tried to interfere with it. Product all good though and working fine and all Comms from BM good and fast.

    The switch I received wasn't the same colour as in the photo and it had more scratches on the screen than I'd imagined, but it arrived a few days early and with an extra storage bag.

    The order came quickly and the product was well packaged. The price of the switch was quite expensive and the product had obvious signs of use and scratches. My husband said that the controllers felt like they had been used. But my kids are in love with their Switch. It has been played all Christmas with the family and all the parts work great!

    The switch arrived at least 4 days early and in good condition. There are a few small scratches but nothing serious. On the other hand, the left joystick detached slightly from the screen without having to press the back button, but again, nothing too serious.

    After I received the parcel with the Switch inside, I could hardly wait to connect the device to the TV. I bought 3 Switch games on the same day because I didn't know when it would be delivered and I was thrilled. As a long-established Nintendo fan more than 34 years ago, I have remained loyal to Nintendo today and will remain loyal to Nintendo into old age, no matter what Nintendo plans to do in the next 30-40 years. Apart from a few small signs of wear, there is nothing to criticise about the device. The device works, connecting it and setting it up went without a hitch, perfect! It's a shame that it didn't come with instructions and the original packaging. It also survived the transport. It also took me a while to learn how to handle and operate the device. At some point I'll buy the next and remaining games that interest me, which I've unfortunately missed from the last 7 years, before its successor is released in 2024 or 2025.

What is a Nintendo Switch?

 

The Nintendo Switch is a hybrid game console developed by Nintendo and released worldwide in most regions on March 3, 2017. The Nintendo Switch combines the functionalities of both a portable and home game console, earning its fitting name. It allows users to seamlessly "switch" between being a home console connected to a TV and transforming into a portable gaming device with detachable controllers on each side.

 

Where to buy a cheap Nintendo Switch?

 

If you're looking for cheap Nintendo Switch deals, but without the compromise on quality and performance, then Back Market has you covered. With Nintendo Switch prices up to 50% less than brand new, and a thorough screening process for refurbished sellers to partner with us, you can rest assured that your refurbished Nintendo Switch will perform just like new.

Staying true to our brand, we're also a huge advocate for environmental change. In fact, at the beginning of 2023, we hit a milestone for preventing 1 million tons of carbon emission (CO2e) from entering the atmosphere. You can help contribute to a better circular economy when you shop cheap Nintendo Switch deals on our platform.

 

Benefits of buying a refurbished Nintendo Switch at Back Market

 

Buying a refurbished Nintendo Switch is also a much friendlier environmental option. A refurbished Nintendo Switch are often second hand or used that have been restored and updated to meet the manufacturer's standards, which means you'll be helping to keep old Nintendo Switch consoles out of our landfills, which reduces electronic waste, and minimises our carbon footprint.

 

Is it better to buy a refurbished Nintendo Switch instead of a used or second hand Nintendo Switch?

 

Buying a used or second hand Nintendo Switch with no guarantees that the device has been refurbished, nor a return policy or warranty poses a huge risk. Thankfully, with Back Market, we don't just list certified refurbished sellers, but we also add in a minimum 12-month's warranty, 30-day return policy, and free delivery too - all at no extra cost! If you're looking for a cheap Nintendo Switch deal in the UK, look no further than Back Market!

 

Looking to sell your old Nintendo Switch for cash?

 

If you have an old and unused Nintendo Switch laying around, Back Market now offers the opportunity for you to trade in or sell your Nintendo Switch at a fair price. Simply complete a short assessment to define the condition, and then receive a price offer from us. If you accept the offer, simply send your console to the refurbisher, free of charge. Our experts then conduct a detailed review of your device to check it matches the information you gave us. If everything checks out, we buy the console and you receive the payment directly to your bank account.

 

Other FAQs about the Nintendo Switch

 

  • Can you download games on Nintendo Switch? Yes, simply connect to the internet and access the 'Nintendo eShop' to download games. Do note that downloaded games can only be played on the console it is downloaded on.
  • Does Nintendo Switch come with games? No, all Nintendo Switch models out of the box brand new will not have games already installed, and all refurbished Nintendo Switch models Back Market sells will ensure all previous data is erased before delivery.
  • How long does a Nintendo Switch take to charge? Approximately 3 hours to fully charge when turned off or in sleep mode. Timing will vary when in use.
  • What's the difference between Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite? The Nintendo Switch features a bigger 6.2 inch LCD screen with longer battery life (by 2 hours more), but the main feature difference is the capability to dock to a TV.
  • What's the difference between Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch OLED? As the name suggests, the Switch OLED provides superior colour accuracy, higher contrast, and in general a much improved picture performance due to the 4K resolution AMOLED display, plus a wider viewing angle.
