All you need to know before you buy a second hand Nintendo Switch

It’s no secret that gaming can add up to be quite a costly hobby over time. Not only are you required to invest in all the blockbuster video games you’re interested in playing, but the actual console itself is a fairly largely barrier to entry. Pre-owned consoles are a good remedy to this problem, especially with regards to picking up a Nintendo Switch. For this reason and more, a refurbished Nintendo Switch makes a lot of sense. If you're after a Nintendo Switch bundle, however, you may be best checking our full comparison.

Buying a second hand Nintendo Switch is a less costly route to portable and home console gaming

The beauty of the Nintendo Switch is that it’s the perfect console for people who are always on the move. This is because that, unlike a traditional box console, the unit itself can be used independently as a handheld gaming device as well as placed in a dock wired up to your TV. This suddenly opens up a whole world of triple-A quality video games that are no longer limited to just your large screen, but can also be taken with you during a commute or holiday.

Play exclusive first-party games like Mario, Zelda and Pokemon on a second hand Nintendo Switch

All of Nintendo’s consoles have been defined by their selection of exclusive first-party titles and the same is no different for the Nintendo Switch. Players have been treated to such memorable experiences as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Super Mario Odyssey, Yoshi’s Crafted World and more. Such family-friendly, bright and colourful experiences aren’t available on PS5 or Xbox Series X – instead representing that old-school Nintendo magic and mark of quality.

Second hand Nintendo Switch consoles come with two Nintendo Switch controllers

Controllers, let alone consoles, are often an expensive addition to anyone’s gaming set-up. Nintendo recognised this when developing the Switch, and so made it easier than ever for players to jump into games co-op simply by having each of the console’s two controllers detachable. Called 'Joy-Con', they can be tilted on the side and work well enough independently that games like Mario Kart 8: Deluxe are blast when played split-screen.

Currently there are three second-hand Nintendo Switch models available to buy

With the release of the Nintendo Switch OLED model, there are multiple options when it comes to buying your refurbished Nintendo Switch. The Nintendo Switch Lite is entirely portable with no dock that you'd see with the base Nintendo Switch or the OLED model, so is perfect for people who do not wish to play on a TV.

The second hand Nintendo Switch refurbishment process explained

A refurbished Nintendo Switch refers to a console that has likely been used and sold back to the retailer by a customer. This doesn’t necessarily make them lesser-than a new Nintendo Switch, though, all thanks to retailers performing their own bespoke safety checks and refurbishment processes before relisting it for sale. This refurbishment process if relatively easier with Switch thanks to the console itself being a single handheld unit.

As mentioned, it’s always recommended that you look for the grade your refurbished Nintendo Switch has been given when picking one up. All would have had their ports checked, software updates and screen cleaned after being traded in, but this doesn’t discount the likelihood that a “Fair” refurbished Nintendo Switch could show some cosmetic damage. The general rule for any console refurb – not just for Nintendo Switch – is that the bigger the discount, the more worse for wear it might be.

Where are the best places to purchase a second hand Nintendo Switch?

If you’ve determined that a refurbished Nintendo Switch is your best route onto the platform there’s a fair few online retailers you can investigate. Most of which you’ll recognise, but what’s really worth paying attention to is how the refurbished Nintendo Switches they sell are graded. We at GamingDeals.com make it easier for potential purchasers to find what they need by pulling in a great deal of Nintendo Switch consoles, all of which will be rated between a scale of “Fair” to “Very Good”.

Second hand Nintendo Switch consoles from GAME

As the UK’s biggest physical games retailer, GAME offers an exhaustive selection of refurbished Nintendo Switch consoles alongside its sealed units. This makes it easy for players to go to the store and check out a model at a price best for them, but then we at GamingDeals.com can save you trouble by making you aware of what’s available where, and at what quality grade. The good news is that every refurbished Nintendo Switch comes with a 12-month warranty from the date of sale.

Second hand Nintendo Switch consoles from Amazon

Amazon makes it incredibly easy for you to find a refurbished Nintendo Switch, as all of the preowned hardware it sells is listed under what’s known as “Amazon Renewed.” Any Nintendo Switch purchased through this arm of Amazon comes with the console, the dock for said console, all the relevant cables and a 12-month guarantee as standard. Take note of whether your refurbished Nintendo Switch will be coming from Amazon direct or an approved third-party seller.

Second hand Nintendo Switch consoles from eBay

eBay is likely many people’s first go-to retailer when the idea of pre-owned goods and getting a good deal comes to mind. Its selection of refurbished Nintendo Switches is so vast, however, that it can sometimes feel like you can’t see the consoles for the gamepads. Luckily, various recognisable high-street retailers like Argos, Tesco and Asda each have their own eBay shopfront, meaning that you’re guaranteed a working refurbished Nintendo Switch and a 12-month warranty.

Don't rule out buying a brand new Nintendo Switch

The Nintendo Switch is now getting pretty deep into its lifespan, but its got a while to go yet. Because of this, picking one up at a cheap second hand price is still somewhat rare. The amount of money you save between a refurbished Nintendo Switch and a new Nintendo Switch console isn't actually that much, so check out the best deals on a new Nintendo Switch console before you make your decision.
