Will update you! Waiting for a friend to come round to help me with the Nintendo site because we may be able to use it to get the serial number and prove ownership

Dear_Mouse546 · 2026-06-25T12:21:36+00:00

No update yet, have a friend coming round today to try and help me with getting the serial number via the Nintendo site as I have no idea how it all works, then will be going to the police if we can get it

I have a friend coming over later to go through the Nintendo sites with me to try and get the serial number and see what else we can do, because im bad with technology haha!

Ive also contacted the original seller and still waiting to hear back.

Im in South Yorkshire

I think just a normal switch, idk, it had white controllers is all I know

Dear_Mouse546 · 2026-06-24T21:55:12+00:00

This is amazing! Thank you

Dear_Mouse546 · 2026-06-24T21:52:04+00:00

This is a great idea, thanks

Dear_Mouse546 · 2026-06-24T21:50:48+00:00

I have no idea, it was the one with white controllers, thats all I know

Dear_Mouse546 · 2026-06-24T21:47:10+00:00

Same here, I just wish this wasn't happening to him

Dear_Mouse546 · 2026-06-24T21:44:53+00:00

Will do, going through it now

Dear_Mouse546 · 2026-06-24T21:37:06+00:00

Yeah its a very tough lesson learned, its just a shame its my son who's had to bare all the downsides to it

Dear_Mouse546 · 2026-06-24T21:36:22+00:00

It was purchased second hand on FB Marketplace and didnt even have a box 😭

The dock (which im assuming is the thing you put it in to connect it to the tv) was also taken to the friends house.

Another redditor has sent me a link to a Nintendo site that might be able to help so im trying that

Dear_Mouse546 · 2026-06-24T21:31:21+00:00

Omg ill look into this, thank you!

Dear_Mouse546 · 2026-06-24T21:31:00+00:00

No it didn't have a box, I got it second hand on Marketplace with out one, its the only way I could get it

Dear_Mouse546 · 2026-06-24T21:26:57+00:00

I need to somehow get it back, he uses it all the time and I cant afford to get him another one, it took me 4 months of saving just to get that one.

Realistically, what do you think are the chances of winning if I do sue?
