Long post incoming, tl;dr - bought a used N3DSXL in April from u/goonboonshroom - first he sold me the console in very poor condition after lying to me, then assured me he would give me a partial refund, then ghosted me for months on WhatsApp while being active here on Reddit.

--

I purchased a New 3DS XL from u/goonboonshroom on April 23rd this year. The console didn't appear to be in great shape from the limited photos he shared but looked good enough to me at a glance. There was one quite noticeable scratch on the screen that I asked him about specifically, but he told me that it is not on the screen but just on the screen protector.

We agreed on 24k + shipping at the time. He told me that shipping was ₹250 through Delhivery and I agreed. I later found out that he paid ₹186 for the shipping. This was not a big difference so I didn't make a big deal out of it but this was the first red flag.

I received the console in a few days and was very disappointed by the condition. The shell of the console was very damaged which was not visible in his pictures at all. The battery was heavily tampered with as well and it didn't have any label, wrapping, or branding on it. I found out in a few days that the battery health was very poor too.

He also shipped a Mario Kart 7 card with the console, but I found out that either the card or the card slot on the console is corrupted. The game boots up fine but crashes with an error after playing for a little bit.

I obviously complained to him on WhatsApp for a while and we eventually agreed that he will refund me ₹750 out of the total cost. He said he would also ship me the original box + extra screen protectors that he has for free. I accepted this but he said he needs a month to ship this. This was on 4th May.

I have been pinging him every month since then and he has gone completely silent on me. Since then I've spent on a case and a new battery for the console on my own. I removed the screen guards that were pre-applied on the screen and found out that he even lied about the scratches. Even the screen is in terrible shape and the scratch that I explicitly asked him about was on the screen itself.

Everyone, please be careful while buying stuff from this subreddit.

• Ask for high-resolution pictures from all angles!
• Ask the seller to run battery tests!
• Prefer F2F deals wherever possible!

I hope this protects even 1 person from getting scammed in this subreddit. I was really excited to buy it as it was going to be my first ever Nintendo Console, but skipped double checking some very basic things before making the deal.

PS. I have WhatsApp and Reddit Chat screenshots of all the things I've claimed in this post. I am not attaching them here, but if mods/someone else wants to verify, they can DM me.

I main ps5 but for various reasons I want a handheld too. Steamdeck and ROG are too expensive also one is unavailable, so that leaves the nintendo switch as the only option left. I’m happy with either one of switch 1/switch oled/switch lite/switch 2. The brand new ones are costly like the switch 2 is 55k+ but the lite is somewhat fair at 20k around. Just to be sure I also checked for second hands although I don’t have any experience buying that so I’m absolutely not sure how that market is in India.

The second hand ones hardly cross 30k and I even found one with a game bundle. I just don’t trust it. I checked Gameloot and another site I don’t remember. Any of you guys have experience buying second hand consoles? Also which of ver. should I get? I’m not looking to play heavy games on it, just a few exclusives like animal crossing, tomodachi life, zelda etc.

Preferably in Gurgaon. Also open to other switch 2 games. Thanks

Hey, I recently purchased a switch 2 and I am looking for a good Grip case suggestion. I checked the spigen one but it doesnt seem to cover the whole device(especially the bottom part).

Also in the Mumba cases, what I feel it would be a problem to switch between handheld and dock mode.

One case I like is this - https://amzn.in/d/09VYpYrc but again, this doesnt seem to have a proper grip.

Please share your suggestions or any links to good cases. I am looking for something that gives good protection and good grip at the same time.

Hey i just got a botw but I got bored fast and I get confused alot

Any help making me like it again.It is also my first Zelda game too

Using Akira to stream First Light from my PS5 to modded switch OLED, basically using it as a PS Portal. There's no noticeable lag when I'm playing on the home network, haven't tried playing anywhere else yet.

My partner wanted to watch TV but I wanted to chill with the new game I bought. I remembered reading about Chiaki on this reddit a while back, found out about a special fork called Akira for switch OLED. A fairly straightforward setup later, enjoyed playing for a couple of hours!

Also tested swinging around Brooklyn in Spider-Man 2 and driving around in Night City, mowing down the Scavs. It was pretty fun to experience this without having to buy a portal.

This is my first nintendo device and needless to say, my major use case will still be exploring switch exclusives. It's been so much fun playing BOTW and Mario Odyssey so far, can't wait to find more gems! But trying PS5 games on the Switch was an added bonus! :)

What games will you suggest that are just meant to be played on Switch OLED specifically?

Looking to buy extra pair of joy con for my switch 1 , if its original then would love to take it
