- Nintendo Switch 2 does not include a guarantee card to avoid students
- It is now required that resellers in Japan have a purchase test before they can resell their Nintendo Switch 2
- Switch 2 The owners in Japan must send their receipt together with their console to request a repair
In an attempt to combat coatings in Japan, Nintendo has excluded a vital component of the Nintendo Switch 2 box, which makes it difficult to resell the console.
As reported by IGN, the owners of the latest switch model in Japan have noticed that the console does not come with a physical guarantee card, which is generally required for hardware repairs in the store.
Alternatively, now the owners now must have a receipt -shaped purchase test so that their 2 -repair switch for the official Nintendo Japan repair service, a change that has also hindered the resale of the console for coatings.
For this reason, resellers in Japanese retailers are forced to include their receipts; However, it seems that Mercari Japan is now prohibiting receipts, a market where people have been buying and reselling the console.
“I am reluctanting the Switch 2 in Mercari, but recently, more and more people list it with the receipts. He needs a receipt for the guarantee. Buyers also want that,” said Teamsubrockman (x / Twitter Translate).
“In conclusion, this is a clear violation of Mercari’s terms and conditions. It is outside the gray area. Nintendo, you have established so many traps, it is surprising.”
With the original switch, which came with a guarantee card in Japan, the owners only have to send a copy of the card to request a repair.
Now, with the new purchase test rule, Switch 2 owners in Japan must send their receipt together with their console to be repaired, according to Nintendo Japan.
According to the Nintendo Switch 2 hardware guarantee, in the EU, the Switch 2 guarantee only covers the console for 24 months after the purchase and “does not cover the product if it has been resolved or used for rent or commercial purposes.”
Similarly, the Nintendo of America Warranty version says: “The original buyer has the right to this guarantee only if the consumer can demonstrate, to the satisfaction of Nintendo, that the product was bought in the last 12 months.”
In addition, purchase voucher for repairs outside Japan is required, according to the Nintendo UK service terms, and if the owners cannot provide a receipt, “the product will be considered outside its Nintendo guarantee and a service rate will be applied to any repair work done.”
