In its latest offerings, Nintendo is presenting swap deals for its Switch original version for the newer version, if you bought it after July 17. However, you will still have to pay for the shipping charges while returning the older version.
The offer was first noticed and reported by Reddit user u/DarthMewtwo23. Furthermore, a Nintendo customer representative confirmed that the swap deal is live but the customer needs to pay for the shipping costs of the returning package.
Once you are eligible for the offer, you can directly contact Nintendo’s customer service department, to begin with the process. Customers will need to have everything that was included in the box: the Switch itself, along with the Joy-Cons, dock, power adapter, straps, and controller grip. The original box isn’t needed.
The refreshed Switch model isn’t the only new Switch console Nintendo’s offering this fall. The organization likewise has the $199 Switch Lite, a little, a less expensive version that removes the removable Joy-Con controllers and TV dock, which is set to be launched coming September.
However, the offer seems to be available in the US and Canada only.
