@Tay32111 Since you have legitimate physical games there should be zero chance of you getting banned.
Transferring is mostly a convenent way to move your save files — most people do it but it's up to you. I own physical and digital so I did the transfer process as an easy way to move my save files and digital games; it worked really well and was simple.
Eh, its tough to say, because there are several different types of hardware failure. Broadly speaking, you have "early life" failures ( manufacturing defects ) and "late life" failures ( that require wear, tear, use and abuse ). Buying new means you won't run into the latter ( because there is no wear yet ), but makes it more likely you'll run into the former ( because no one else had a chance to find its a lemon ). You pretty much have to pick your poison, and its impossible to tell which is a bigger problem until enough data is in that its probably not a problem anymore.
My own instinct? For something like the Switch, you probably want to lean in favor of new ( actually new or at least as newly used as possible ). Yeah, this means you have more chance of hitting a manufacturing defect than if you bought ones with years of use. . . but battery wear is a guaranteed factor for any handheld device like this. You probably shouldn't sacrifice several years of battery life just to avoid the relatively tiny chance of a lemon.
And re: "banned for bad games"- honestly, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Yes, it is a thing that can happen. . . but there's no evidence of large scale "returning/reselling of ripped games" actually being a thing. Hell, the only verifiable case of someone's console being banned for such, is also a verifiable case of Nintendo reversing the ban once they presented evidence of having been the victim.
If you want to give yourself assurance, just save the receipts when you buy a used game. But 99+% chances it will never come up.
@FishyS so I was watching a YouTube video and someone had received a Switch 2 console that the WiFi isnt working.
He tried trouble shooting the console on camera, even taking the back cover off to repositioning the wifi cables but nothing had fixed it.
But looking at the comments section of the YouTube video, a lot of people are saying they're having the same issue.
Do you know if its possible that I could have been a issue where particular consoles that having wifi issues where from the first batch of Switch 2 consoles?
I just wanted to make sure Because I don't want to get one that doesn't have a working Wifi.
@Tay32111 What do you mean by wifi cables? If the console is using wifi, it doesn't need cables for the Internet.
I know some people had an issue with Ethernet cables in the dock. I don't think it's common but it is an acknowledged problem that Nintendo has a help page for:
@Tay32111 I would personally guess that opening up the device is more likely to cause problems than fix them. Regardless, I haven't really heard of Switch 2 wifi issues being a real concern aside from complaints that the connection is sometimes a bit slow. But if you look hard enough over millions of any type of internet connected device, I'm sure you can find some with issues.
