VERDICT

Should I use Nintendo - Official Site: Consoles, Games, News, and More?

Visit the official Nintendo site to shop for Nintendo Switch™ systems and video games, read the latest news, find fun gear and gifts with a Nintendo twist, and much more. - nintendo.com

Depends. Buy from it if you're a consumer after a Switch, games, or gifts — the official store is high-trust and runs real discounts. Skip it entirely if you're evaluating business software; this is a game store, not a tool for teams.
