Nintendo Switch on Pay Monthly: Is It Still Worth Buying in 2024? (Yes, and Here's How!)
The Nintendo Switch has been a gaming phenomenon since its launch, offering a unique blend of home console and portable gaming. If you've been dreaming of owning one but upfront costs or credit checks have held you back, you're in the right place.
Why the Nintendo Switch Still Shines in 2024
Despite new consoles hitting the market, the Nintendo Switch holds a special place in the hearts of gamers. It's not just a console; it's a versatile entertainment system perfect for solo adventures, family fun, and gaming on the go. Here's why it's still a fantastic buy in 2024:
- Unrivalled Versatility: The Switch's biggest selling point remains its hybrid nature. Play on your TV at home, then seamlessly transition to handheld mode for gaming on the bus, train, or even just another room. No other console offers this level of flexibility.
- Fantastic First-Party Games: Nintendo's own games are consistently top-tier. Think The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Super Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons. These are often critically acclaimed, exclusive to Switch, and offer hundreds of hours of enjoyment. They rarely go out of style!
- Growing Library of Indie and Third-Party Titles: Beyond Nintendo's own offerings, the eShop is bursting with brilliant indie games and ports of popular third-party titles. From cozy Stardew Valley to intense DOOM Eternal, there's truly something for everyone.
- Perfect for Families and Social Gaming: The Switch is incredibly family-friendly. Its intuitive controls and many multiplayer games make it ideal for get-togethers. Grab a few extra Joy-Cons, and you're ready for instant fun with friends and family.
- Multiple Models to Choose From: Depending on your budget and preference, you can choose between the original Nintendo Switch, the handheld-only Switch Lite, or the premium Switch OLED model with its vibrant screen. This flexibility means there's a Switch for almost every need.
Making Your Switch Dream a Reality with Pay Monthly
We know that buying a new console, even a fantastic one like the Switch, can be a significant upfront cost. That's where pay monthly options come in handy, allowing you to spread the cost into manageable payments. However, traditional credit options can be tricky if you've had a few bumps in the road financially.
This is where TrustPay really shines. We believe that everyone should have access to the tech and entertainment they love, regardless of their credit history. That's why TrustPay offers a 0% APR, no-credit-check store credit facility up to £1,200, exclusively available through Trusty Stores.
Here’s how TrustPay makes getting your Nintendo Switch easier:
- No Credit Checks: Forget about stressing over your credit score. TrustPay doesn't perform credit checks, so your past financial history won't stand in the way of getting the console you want.
- 0% APR: You heard that right! You pay absolutely no interest on your purchase. The price you see is the price you pay, just spread over time. This means you save money compared to high-interest credit cards or loans.
- Manageable Monthly Payments: Break down the cost of your Nintendo Switch (and maybe a game or two!) into smaller, affordable instalments that fit comfortably into your budget. This makes big purchases feel much less daunting.
- Quick and Easy Application: Applying for TrustPay is straightforward and designed to be as hassle-free as possible. It's all about getting you what you need, fast.
- Access to a Wide Range of Products: While we're talking about the Switch today, remember that TrustPay at Trusty Stores can be used for a variety of electronics and home goods, giving you flexibility for future purchases too!
So, if you've been wondering if a Nintendo Switch is still a good investment in 2024, the answer is a resounding yes! And with pay monthly options like TrustPay, getting one can be simpler and more affordable than you might think.
Which Nintendo Switch is Right for You?
Choosing the right Switch model depends on your gaming habits and budget. Let's break down the main options:
- Nintendo Switch (Original/V2): This is the classic hybrid model. It's perfect if you want the flexibility of playing on your TV and taking it on the go. Great for families, solo players, and anyone who wants the full Switch experience without the OLED premium.
- Nintendo Switch OLED Model: If you primarily play in handheld mode and appreciate a stunning visual experience, the OLED is a fantastic upgrade. It boasts a larger, more vibrant OLED screen, improved speakers, a sturdier kickstand, and double the internal storage (64GB). It's the premium portable experience.
- Nintendo Switch Lite: This model is designed purely for handheld gaming. It's smaller, lighter, and doesn't connect to a TV. If you're a gamer on the move, prefer a more compact device, and don't need the TV docking feature, the Lite is a more affordable and very capable option.
Consider what's most important to you: screen quality, portability, TV connectivity, or budget, and you'll find the perfect Switch to fit your lifestyle. All models offer access to the same fantastic library of games.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I really get a Nintendo Switch with no credit check?
Yes, absolutely! With TrustPay available at Trusty Stores, we offer a 0% APR store credit facility that does not involve any credit checks. This means your credit history won't affect your ability to get approved for the finance you need to buy your Nintendo Switch.
How does 0% APR work?
0% APR (Annual Percentage Rate) means you pay no interest on the amount you borrow. If your Nintendo Switch costs £300, and you pay it back over 10 months, you'll simply pay £30 each month, totalling exactly £300. There are no hidden fees or extra charges for the credit itself, making it a very cost-effective way to spread payments.
What if I have bad credit? Can I still apply for TrustPay?
Definitely! TrustPay is specifically designed to help customers who may have struggled with their credit history in the past. Because we don't perform traditional credit checks, your credit score won't be a barrier to getting approved for up to £1,200 in store credit to use at Trusty Stores.
How quickly can I get my Nintendo Switch after applying?
The TrustPay application process is designed to be quick and simple. Once approved for your store credit, you can then proceed to select your Nintendo Switch and complete your purchase. Delivery times will then depend on Trusty Stores' shipping policies, but you can usually expect to receive your console fairly quickly.
