I Bought A Refurbished Switch From Nintendo...Here's What They Sent Me

For most of this year the Nintendo Switch has been difficult to find leading to heavy markups online that has most listings passing 400 dollars online. Recently Nintendo reopened their refurbished site where they sell Switch systems for less than MSRP with the understanding that these systems are refurbished. Today I wanted to take a look at a system ordered from Nintendo to see what condition it shows up in.

The tricky tick Same. Just had my New Nintendo 2DS XL refurb come on Friday and was basically brand-new(minus the box like you said). Unfortunately Wal-Mart had just restocked the same one the day mine arrived and I realized I could’ve picked that one up or shipped it to my home for the same price and it comes with Mario Kart. I’m not going through the hassle since I system transferred already, but it just irked me a bit considering I could’ve literally had a brand-new 2DS plus a game if I waited.

“Refurbished” from a manufacturer’s POV could simply mean that it’s not a full package, off the line product. Meaning it’s not in the original box, it could have parts (joy cons, grip, dock, etc) from a different unit, etc. 1st party refurbished products are generally new and come with the same warranty as a new product. Apple does this same thing. Their “refurbished” line of products are brand new 99% of the time. 3rd party refurbishers are where you get used products that are jerry rigged to work.

[@talkingtechnically]

So true

[@bdc_ky]

Thanks for the heads up from the refurb site! Definitely recommend in the future!

[@markieman64]

I have the same generation of Switch, and I must say, I've never had an issue with the battery personally. When I've travelled with the system, which admittedly I've not done a huge amount of, I've had a battery pack with me and both working in combination have been many times more than I've needed for the amount I wanted to play in any given day of travelling. If I was so inclined, I could extend that by having multiple battery packs. I know it's great that they addressed the issue in a revision, but I'm just saying I've never had an issue personally, and so that wouldn't put me off buying a refurbished original like this in the future.

He is a scientist and a mathematician, and thus all His creations are perfect, and are given the perfect biology for the changes that occur to His will. He is a kind genius in His creation. Why do you think Catholicism has moved from a Dark Age of stagnation to a more scientific view in terms of discovery, even having astronomers in the Vatican? Science and religion are two sides of the same coin. One requires faith in the Truth, and the other provides the proof of our well placed faith. You can in fact love science and love God, it's just a matter of leaving ignorance and embracing Him and His creations in a new, knowledge-hungry point of view.

I wonder when the hardware was updated to block the exploits - if it was past the 31st week of 2017, then I wonder if this Switch is capable of it or if Nintendo can lock it out via a different method.

I got my Mario Red Joy Con Refurbished Switch from Nintendo back in 2018 and have had zero issues with it. They used to have the Splatoon Joy Con ones too, but seem to have discontinued them.

[@matthewjbauer1990]

The definition of Refurbished doesn't necessarily mean taking in a system under warranty, replace it and then repair the broken one and resell it. In my case, I had a Lenovo laptop (I know, different device, similar concept). They could not meet repair times so they sent me a new laptop AND my broken laptop back. Since I repair laptops, I tried to repair the broken laptop. I had it working but it ended up dying a few days later. Most of the time a refurbished electronic system is basically a system that failed Quality control. It goes to repair to get fixed then 2nd QC. You can't sell a repaired laptop or computer or game console as new even though it never left the factory because it failed quality control #1. Think of it also like a Core i9. If a core i9 fails QC, it becomes a i7 and if it fails QC again, it becomes an i5 and so on (with cores disabled and or removed along the way and clocks reduced as well).

I was considering getting a refurbished one direct from Nintendo but I'd prefer the newer model over the launch model. It's solid savings and everything I've heard makes it sound like Nintendo's refurbished hardware has always been practically brand new. Likely mostly comprised of stock that simply got returned or possibly damaged during shipping. It's a bit of a lottery with something like a Switch, but the 3DS line gives you quite the selection.

Hey just wanted to let you know that companies are actually required to send batteries at less than full or dead because of the issue with Galaxy Notes a few years back, that being said I've left my joycons without taking a charge for like a week and they were dead so they definitely stay on 24/7
