Can you return Nintendo Switch games after opening?

Generally, you cannot return opened physical Nintendo Switch games for a refund or exchange if you just changed your mind, as Nintendo and most retailers (like GameStop) have policies against it for opened, used items, but you might get an exchange for a defective game if it's within the return window and you have proof of purchase. Digital game refunds are also very rare, usually only for mistaken purchases where you contact Nintendo support immediately, but they're not guaranteed.
