How to Prepare your Nintendo Switch for RESALE / Factory Reset
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Hi, if you decide you want to sell your Nintendo Switch but are worried that the new owner might have access to your information, then by watching this video you will see that it is easy to wipe all your data.
By doing a factory reset you are returning the Nintendo Switch to the same state it was in when it left the factory (apart from it will still keep the current version of system software).
Many thanks Vince.

@Stubby Stubbington I have a switch
You get the like for being the only one to actually pull the trigger on the factory reset. Many videos show where the setting is, but none showed the actual result. Thank you!
idk how yours isn't the top video! Yours was actually helpful and clear! Thank You!
Love how you show what happens afterwards, great video!
selling my switch lite today and had to search how to reset without deleting my nintendo account. this video is of great help! thank you very much!
Thanks a load for this. I had just put it up for sale and got blown up with people wanting it immediately. Ofc I hadn't even figured out to reset it.

I sold mine too, I needed the money. I also need to focus on more productive things on my life rather than video games. People in general just fail to see how expensive gaming is. Especially if you're the common young adult, you're limited on money, some games, Nintendo games in particular don't go down in price often. And besides, Nintendo is known for re-releasing iterations of the same console, if I want another one I can get another one. I had over 15 games and got $550. I needed that money for something important. I liked the console, but it needs more in order to be excellent. Backup saves and more than bare bones online are what we need. I already 100% completed Mario Odyssey and almost BOTW. I love Xenoblade 2, best game on the system, but I can't sink time into RPGs that much anymore.. I could just watch the entire story on youtube if I need to. So yeah people have reasons for selling their games. People also play video games too much. Go do some other things in life before you end up regretting it on your death bed.

Hi, thanks for the Video it was very helpful. I have a question. The Nintendo switch i want to sell has water damage. Thing is that even though its not working i think its fixable but not worth keeping (when you try to power on the Nintendo logo comes up but then the power shuts off soon after). I want to sell it but obviously cannot get to the factory settings to clear my son's account. My question is how dangerous or how much exposure have i left us open to by selling it without putting it back to factory settings?
Tysm man this helped me out
That’s very helpful to me thanks
Thank you so much very helpful
I'm pretty sure nobody would sell the Nintendo switch unless they're pretty crazy. But if it's for a friend or as a gift your a true legend!

Thank you for the help!!!
If you have a digital game with data saved to the cloud, will the data still be there? And also, if you have a physical copy that does not allow data saves(cough cough* Splatoon 2) and you sign in to your account on another nintendo switch will all the data be saved on the cartridge/ on the user?

I recently got a switch lite and it has a dead pixel so I need to return it to the store :( thanks for video!
If you do this with a bundle edition like the super smash bros one will it delete the game that originally came with it without letting you redownload it?
Thank you you earned a sub and a like
Thanks really appreciated it

Very useful video for second hand buyers. And u just sacrificed ur switch to help others. U deserve more than pewdiepie.
Oh thank you so much! My uncle bought a Switch Lite for my sister and I to share as a gift. I was so very happy and grateful that he did that. (I'm still eternally grateful) But what I didn't know was thst HE set up our account for us. I got really upset since all I thought was that he just bought it and that was it. No set up, no bs, I thought that he would leave that to US to make. We don't even know our own password! Which sucks! So, I was planning on resetting the whole thing so that my sister and I can set up our real account. Thank you so much for this video! It's excactly what I needed!
This was fast im selling mine an yea this was useful thanks for the info.
Thank you so so much
When the person plugs in a cartridge game from me are there any data like my score for example? Or is it completely new like you bought it the first time? When it is new the also can’t restore my score and so on right?
I love you Bro thanks so much

J Lite is cheaper. You’re selling your main Switch for a lot more money. And also the Lite seems to fit most casual switch gamers.

Thanks for this video! I bought my friend a refurbished Switch and I opened it so I can test it out and make sure it works properly and looks decent (which I should've done at Game Stop but oh well lol). But I went through the startup and realized what I did. Thankfully I restarted it so she can have the experience.

hello sir Mate, we talk about formatting complete. I format my switch console for the first time since last Saturday, then delete all except my account. --> Eshop (My Nintendo) contains digital and DLC programs if they can be downloaded again while they are recovered/tied by my linked account, right? --> I have a question about my switch console, cannot recover data from program saves (physical, digital and DLC), no? Please respond me.
Thank you so muchhh
Thanks lad.
Thanks🎉
