    We ordered a refurbished Switch console for my daughter and it came promptly and is in great condition, so we're very impressed there! The seller originally only included a generic USB to C power cable, without a plug. The cord and our home USB compatible plugs weren't strong enough to power the console, but thankfully we had a laptop charger which worked, so my daughter could play. I contacted Backmarket who contacted the seller and we received a new OEM charger within a couple days, so in the end, all is well, although we would have much preferred to receive a functioning charging cord with the original shipment.

    Back Market was good as always. Great condition. Honestly, I’m a little surprised it was because the third party who packed up the refurbished Switch shipped it in a padded mailing envelope. No box, just bubble wrap and a bubble mailer.

    This is my 5th purchase with backmarket and I have been impressed every turn. The switch came with everything I could have needed including the wrist clips for the joycons. I waited to review until I’d had time to see the hard/software for what it truly was being refurbished. Of course the body and controllers had a few noticeable scratches on them but it was all able to be polished up a bit. All in all another great purchase. Thank you backmarket for saving the tech!

    Very happy with my purchase! I was worried because the listing didn’t mention that the dock came with it and the support team got back to me in 24 hours with a guarantee that it would be included. I love buying refurbished items!

    Everything was great, like new, expet for the joy cons which are known to age poorly. The controlls are a little soft the the right hand one is a little loose when attached to the switch. I can clean them up with some isoporpal alcahol or get factory new joy con replacements elsewhere but still disappointed that I have to do some refurbishing myself when I got excellent quality.

    Shipped fast & arrived in excellent condition! One puzzling thing: it unexpectedly came with a grip for the Joy-Con controllers, which is cool except there’s no port on it to connect the charging cable. I guess this was just a defect when it was made & it’ll still work if you want to use it as a controller grip only, but I must say I felt insane trying to figure out where & how it plugged in!) Otherwise, it was pretty easy to connect everything, set up a Switch account & I successfully downloaded Minecraft so it looks like it’s good to go. Since I got this as a Christmas gift for my young son, I didn’t think however about the fact that it wouldn’t come in a box, so I still have to think about how I can still give him that “wow” factor when he opens it, but yeah- I was already a fan of refurbished electronics and Back Market did not disappoint!

    Bought a DSi XL from Cave Gamers and it came as described! Shipping was pretty quick and it was worth the price paid, very happy about my purchase. Time to play Pokémon Platinum in its original resolution as it was meant to be!

    I'm upgrading from a switch lite to the full switch with this purchase, so far I've got zero complaints. Everything came packaged well, docking station, joycons, HDMI cord, and charging cord. The initial charging cord that was sent did not work for some reason, but the seller was very quick about sending out a replacement.

    My shopping on Back Market was good, but not perfect. I bought 2 used Nintendo Switch sets, saving 1/3 off the price of new ones. The information provided was accurate. They appeared to be in good condition, but one was missing the charger, so I had to spend an extra $20. They were both anonymous gifts to charity, so I did not test them.

Refurbished Nintendo consoles are the entertainment deal you deserve

Nintendo is one of the longest running makers of gaming consoles, with a track record of proven success.  

Why buy a refurbished Nintendo gaming system?

From the original Nintendo gaming system through the Wii and all the way up to the Nintendo Switch, they’ve been producing a gaming system that has been enjoyed for decades. 

What’s even better is the longevity and desirability of their older models. The Nintendo classic and Nintendo 64 both remain a popular retro system that users still seek out today. What’s more classic than playing the original Mario Kart?  

Nintendo, as a company, has been producing gaming systems since the early 80’s. They’ve followed market trends, they’ve consistently improved their product, and they’ve expanded their products to match current trends. They’ve also led a lot of those industry trends (cue the Wii). A refurbished Nintendo is a great deal.

Are discounted, cheap Nintendos reliable?

The short answer: absolutely. However, you’re probably looking for the longer answer!

Not only are you working with a reliable producer of games, but you also have a product that has been refurbished with Back Market, making these cheaper Nintendos a solid purchase. You might be able to find a Nintendo deal elsewhere, but only with Back Market are buyers further guaranteed reliability:

Verification:

All Back Market products are tried and tested by experts, to ensure that the consoles are functioning at 100% before they leave the factory.

Warranty:

Every device, including 30+ year old Nintendo consoles are given a 12-month warranty.

30-Day Guarantee:

In addition to the warranty, all products are given a 30-day, money back guarantee, just in case you decide this refurbished console isn’t the one you wanted.  

So again, yes, a cheap Nintendo from Back Market is a reliable purchase. 

Which used Nintendo console should I buy? 

Your options for a used Nintendo console can essentially be broken down into three groups: classic, modern, and the Wii. Whichever one you pick, you have a great Nintendo deal.

If you’re looking for a retro-gaming system, the Nintendo Classic or the N64 are going to be your best bet. The retro-graphics are a great throwback, and used games are still available for a lot of the old classics, like Mario Kart, Super Smash Brothers, Duck Hunt, etc.

If you’re looking for newer models for good variety with your games, the Nintendo Switch is an excellent device, especially for its versatility (hence, the name “Switch”). Gamers can use it on the screen with convertible controllers that can also latch onto the Switch itself to shift into handheld mode. A wide variety of gaming options are available, along with excellent graphics and multi or single player options.

Lastly, the Wii consoles (including Wii and Wii U) are a bit more limited in the options, but a great choice for motion-detected gameplay. If you’re looking for a quick bit of light entertainment, not terribly challenging but a good time, the options with the Wii are great.

Whether you’re on the lookout for a cheap Nintendo to pass the time or a refurbished, modern system to play, Back Market’s Nintendo options are reliably refurbished and ready for use.
