I’ll never understand Wish 😂 there are so many odd things about the listing and this console. If you’d like to see me talk more about this console: ua-cam.com/video/-qZHxYhFoFw/v-deo.html
Just fyi if you are looking to buy it from my site, sign up for the newsletter on my site and you’ll get a discount code to save a chunk of money. Free shipping as well
It's possible that the original owner took it out of the box and the screen was defective from the start. The unit was returned / exchanged, the screen was changed out to the current screen, and it was put up for sale on WISH. That's why all the accessories look brand new. You got lucky to get this in such good condition!!
@@6door6four96 I’ve purchased another switch from them in a past video, and it didn’t have the screen film. So I don’t think that’s the case. I also think that would be a really weird thing to do honestly lol
Original Switch had a LCD screen and it was a cool temp. The Switch Lite has an LCD screen too with a warm temp. The Switch OLED is in between the cool and warm
I have this Switch. It’s also suppose to come with a screen protector. Being a Mario themed Switch it really doesn’t seem like it unless you’re using the Joy Con accessories.
The color temperature of stock switch screens varies quite a bit and isnt a great indicator of authenticity. Also there are at least 2 different styles of ribbon cable on the digitizer and I think one has writing and the other doesn't. That being said, the film definitely makes it seem like the digitizer was replaced. They could have also installed a replacement shell judging by how clean it looks.
Replacing the entire shell might be the most plausible answer. Maybe they had a broken “normal” switch (black instead of red), and decided to fix it by swapping the shell and pairing it with this bundle. Still weird that everything felt pretty much untouched
@Jacob R it did come with the box and the case and everything. I think between all of that and the digitizer and shell, they wouldn't be making any money. I found a nicer box on ebay that comes with everything but the tablet for 200. You can check if the serial number on the switch matches the serial number in the settings menu, but idt there is one on the box. I think you can also look up the serial number to see which revision of motherboard it is.
I bought my switch brand new from an official source so I know it’s never been replaced. I just check my screen’s colour and it’s definitely very cool. Possibly even more than the one in the video.
Suspicious is kind of a reach… it just wasn’t listed/labeled accurately lol. Definitely screen replacement but everything else looks good, fantastic even.
The weird listing is what makes is suspicious to me. Tbh, I think any purchase from wish could be considering suspicious, just from the fact that you’re buying from wish.
@@jrob0021 Why wouldnt you check the processor build? Is it a v1 switch unpatched? Like 280 is a steal for how clean that is if its an unpatched erista. At least assuming the screen qualtity and touchscreen is good. Stick an rcm clip in that thing and see if it boots hekate xD
Dude, it's pretty complete to me, those manuals are worth nothing, the fact you received a basically brand new console without signs of usage is pretty much worth the money you paid. You're complaining about bits of fibers with ink on it not being in the box jeez lol
a little note, when taking the back off, only the middle screw on the rails needs to be removed, a smart move on nintendo's part as you wouldn't want the rails flopping all over the place.
You got a deal on that, Its a laminated screen upgrade. Very common in the chinese markets. I use them in all of my repairs. They have better brightness, and lack of air gap.
Haha dragons catma got me keep up the great work your confidence on camera has grown so much over the year I've been subbed the editing is on point to great work Jacob keep it up
I'm thinking perhaps the screen film was put in place to protect the screen in transit? Perhaps the seller has had problems with this in the past? Or maybe they replaced the screen for a better quality one - perhaps a bad batch of screens which were prone to fail? OR maybe the screen was broken when the seller got it? It could be none of these, however, of course!👾
so what i think happend is that someone buyed that had guaranteed on it and it fell down and the screen broke so he gave it back became a replacement as a quick solution and that one due to its good condition got just an new screen and selled it again
Yeah same i had to go in and change the ip, subnet and gateway settings to match my router just to get the switch up to 36mbps on my 100mbps connection lol. It was sub 20 without messing with stuff x.x
Apparently the screens being different colour tones is actually legitimate as nintendo switchs screen manufacturers depending on which manufacturer is cheaper. system can come with a cool tone screen, blue screen or warm yellow screen.
I must be out of touch with the switch prices , I'm over here thinking 280 is way too much. Just bought a used system for 180 on eBay, feeling like I committed the heist of the century
Looks like a product that maybe was damaged during transport and they just replaced the broken screen. Pretty good deal, this version is quite expensive nowadays...
I've been wanting a mario red switch for a long time. Since it's not OLED version though it is functionally worse now than the OLED I already have. But still I love that the console is red. I really wish the OLED white was a white console.
I have the same version of the switch. Bought it on mercari, got a discount because of scratches on the screen. Replaced for cheap, looks brand new just like yours
Looks like the film was placed on the screen for protection, doesnt mean the screen was replaced, original owner may have used a screen protector or only ever used it in docked mode like i do.
I honestly turn on dark theme on everything including my smartphone. White is ugly and just cause strain on the eyes and more battery wasted. Use dark!
I'm confused, what exactly is suspicious about unboxing a regular Nintendo Switch at what is essentially retail price? I don't understand why dude was so suspicuous. It's just a regular switch 😭😭😭
I think this seller was the type to buy the Switch during the pandemic, and probably didn't like it. Either that, or they damaged the screen (scratched, tested durability, etc.) Either that, or they just wanted to make enough money to afford the OLED by selling their old switch.
Best Buy currently has this same Mario red switch for sale geek squad refurbished for around $270. Idk if it'll be in as good condition as the one in this video though.
Yeah probably not. I personally don’t think the switch looks good enough to be worth the extra money, and red is my favorite color. I’d say just get a normal switch and get cool joy cons
Know you like to do that crack effect and I expect it all the time but for some reason this time I didn't and it scared me so bad that my soul left my body
Maybe Wish is trying to be less garbage? Iunno but I agree it's weird. That's a rad-looking Switch, though. If I was in the market for a new Switch (I recently got a Steam Deck so I'm good on consoles), I'd def shop around for one that looks like that.
The lite screen looks better than the standard switch screen. Sharper and way better colors. (I don't mean the oled switch 😅). Before the oled came out I used to play on my lite.
yeah. I got an oled a few weeks ago and my little brother has a regular switch and it looks so much better than the regular. makes sense since oled was advertised for having a great screen as one of its best features lol

Pass I got my own a real one

the switch costs about $280 here, but the mario one is about $400-500
that crack effect actually got a reaction out of me, wasn't expecting it after that long drawn out peeling!
yeah same i was looking for people saying that
He has done it before lol so I know better now
lol I let it play out as loooooooooong as possible for maximum impact ❤
Made me jump lol

I'd never buy anything from wish it's usually a scam lol
Yeah but not everything on wish is legit products. Majority are scam
3:31 this actually gave me a tiny jolt of heart attack for a millisecond
bruh me too
Samee
Fr 😂
same 😨
see a doctor 😉
When he pulled off the screen protector and made the screen breaking effect I actually jumped.
good 😈
Same
I have that same switch Mario brand new I got from a retail store and everything looks on point! Minus the wrap on the screen. Nice find!
I just can’t understand why they would have replaced this screen 😂 everything else was perfect
@@jrob0021 cracked? there's many reasons why you'd replace a screen lol
@@jrob0021likely just sticky plastic they put on any device screen they sell probably not replaced
@@6door6four96 I’ve purchased another switch from them in a past video, and it didn’t have the screen film. So I don’t think that’s the case. I also think that would be a really weird thing to do honestly lol
I bought a refurbished switch for 280 from wish about 4 years ago and it still works perfectly fine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Original Switch had a LCD screen and it was a cool temp. The Switch Lite has an LCD screen too with a warm temp. The Switch OLED is in between the cool and warm
That fake screen crack totally startled me.
For $280 I’d take it. Buy some white joy cons and have a fire Mario switch
Looks like a dead pixel right out of the box.
Buying off wish is like playing catch with a loaded grenade lol

New shell new screen? Not bad tbh. As long as a decent technician refurbished it.
I bought my switch brand new from an official source so I know it’s never been replaced. I just check my screen’s colour and it’s definitely very cool. Possibly even more than the one in the video.
Those joycons look just like mario
I regret not buying this at the store when they come out nice find looks great
Man is lucky with this. All I got was bs with Wish

i got a nintendo switch for 200 bucks not used
bc some dude won a competition and did not want it and sold it totally new for 200 buckaroos
Would've been perfect if Nintendo made the actual Switch blue. Blue Switch in red dock, red Joycons in blue comfort grip.
White does absolutely not look better on camera

When the cheap Chinese screen is better than the og 💀
@@geraldfrancisco4846 he never said it was cheap 😮
I guess the seller just couldn't find the right words for the switch.
4:11 15 seconds of slience for the Switch text with the Wish logo font.
I love how he put the word “suspicious” in the title like it’s 2020
You mean the title lol
You mean the title lol
You mean the title lol
You mean the title lol
You mean the title lol
This man single-handedly saved wish from bankruptcy
For faster downloads! Change MTU from 1400 to 1500 in the internet settings.
I have the very same Model, got mine Brand New on Amazon.
I thought you actually broke it when the cracked glass effect happened 😂
Switch light and regular and olded screens all look different when it comes to color
Wish itself is suspicious.
He didn't buy a Switch he bought a Swotch
Haha dragons catma got me keep up the great work your confidence on camera has grown so much over the year I've been subbed the editing is on point to great work Jacob keep it up
I don't know how that screen breaking effect still got me when I knew a Switch screen isn't glass and wouldn't crack that way.
Great job with the reviewing! Keep it up. I wish I had just one switch.
If I didn't know this was a Mario switch my first thought would of been Spider-man and not Mario.
I'm thinking perhaps the screen film was put in place to protect the screen in transit? Perhaps the seller has had problems with this in the past?

The download speed on my switches tops out at like 20-30 Mbps, so I'm not surprised that the connection speeds are slow
Yeah same i had to go in and change the ip, subnet and gateway settings to match my router just to get the switch up to 36mbps on my 100mbps connection lol. It was sub 20 without messing with stuff x.x
The crack effect got me for a second there. Well played Jacob
That red switch looks nice
3:32 that crack legitimately gave me a heart palpitation
I'm sorry, I guess I'm not aware of my power as a video editor sometimes.... 😔
It was a joke btw, sorry if I made you worry :(
Bro when the crack effect came on I had an actual freak out moment
Well maybe they wanted the screen for another switch that was broken that probably fetched a higher price who knows with these places
That nintendo switch is good looking!!
3:32 My heart dropped
Apparently the screens being different colour tones is actually legitimate as nintendo switchs screen manufacturers depending on which manufacturer is cheaper. system can come with a cool tone screen, blue screen or warm yellow screen.
Bro got the TinKendo Light switch bro 💀
That crack was the 1st to audibly make me gasp and jump!
Red overload but a black kickstand is funny to me
3:31 really scared me. I could've expected it but I didn't 😅
3:31 I got so scared I thought you actually broke the screen🤯
I must be out of touch with the switch prices , I'm over here thinking 280 is way too much. Just bought a used system for 180 on eBay, feeling like I committed the heist of the century
It’s only because this is a special edition. 180 is reasonable for a normal switch
Looks like a product that maybe was damaged during transport and they just replaced the broken screen. Pretty good deal, this version is quite expensive nowadays...
Thanks for the video. You forgot to check the e-shop to make sure it is not band.
I was hoping it wasn't just going to be a red themed Switch lol
That crack jumpscare actually got me omg.
Call it the swish
I've been wanting a mario red switch for a long time. Since it's not OLED version though it is functionally worse now than the OLED I already have. But still I love that the console is red. I really wish the OLED white was a white console.
The cracking effect always gets me 😭😭 idk why
I have the same version of the switch. Bought it on mercari, got a discount because of scratches on the screen. Replaced for cheap, looks brand new just like yours
Mercari is the best app
Looks like the film was placed on the screen for protection, doesnt mean the screen was replaced, original owner may have used a screen protector or only ever used it in docked mode like i do.
8:00 where is this strange Gameboy color DS from? Is this purchased?
POV: You go to make a vid about how wish is a scam and you end up getting a great deal
I honestly turn on dark theme on everything including my smartphone. White is ugly and just cause strain on the eyes and more battery wasted. Use dark!
I'm confused, what exactly is suspicious about unboxing a regular Nintendo Switch at what is essentially retail price? I don't understand why dude was so suspicuous. It's just a regular switch 😭😭😭
I believe that was refurbished unit.
It looks clean so far, let's watch on. I like the all red👍🏾
Fun fact i have a oled
280 isn’t particularly cheap for it if it was used
Holy crap that glass sound effect scared me so much😂
Anyone else get a commercial for the switch while watching this? Lol
I was wondering what kind of fix I could do to my grandsons Nintendo Switch that is stuck on the Nintendo Switch logo?
Screen looks much better in dark mode when watching the video 😎
Maybe the screen wasnt replaced at all, but they just stuck that film on there to protect it from scratching, like they do when they ship new phones.
I think this seller was the type to buy the Switch during the pandemic, and probably didn't like it. Either that, or they damaged the screen (scratched, tested durability, etc.) Either that, or they just wanted to make enough money to afford the OLED by selling their old switch.
In my opinion the switch looks better with the bezels. Adds much more a game boy Nintendo aesthetic.
Switches are known for having crappy wifi cards sadly
@Jacob_R2 not the fake Jacob account replying to my comments lmao
I’ve always wanted this special edition switch but couldn’t get one, it’s so cool that you got one that is in good condition
The way he pronounce Dragons Dogma 😂

But there was film on the screen. That plastic was what ?
Know you like to do that crack effect and I expect it all the time but for some reason this time I didn't and it scared me so bad that my soul left my body
Surprised it’s the actual system
Switch downloads time do suck
7:08 those are my speeds... sadge
This is not a switch, this is a sWish
I think they put that film on the screen to protect it imo
Maybe Wish is trying to be less garbage? Iunno but I agree it's weird. That's a rad-looking Switch, though. If I was in the market for a new Switch (I recently got a Steam Deck so I'm good on consoles), I'd def shop around for one that looks like that.
Some things from Wish are actually legit and not a scam. Its amazing if people do find the legit ones though.
Bruh the whatnot thing works so weird, it scares me for a virus or fake. But still like your content
i just find it insane that he actually got a real switch and not a fake andriod system one 😂
for 280 usd can get a new set switch v2 in malaysia
Why did the crack scare me 😂
the fact that dk oldies is worse than wish 😒
Wish itself is kinda wonky. But at least this Switch is working =)Thank you for the video=3
To save everyone time. It’s a Switch. An original Switch. Except MAYBE the digitizer was replaced.
That’s it. Nothing else. Waste of time.
The lite screen looks better than the standard switch screen. Sharper and way better colors. (I don't mean the oled switch 😅).
Before the oled came out I used to play on my lite.
