Has the Switch ended the High Quality Nintendo myth?
With the huge joycons on every switch breaking will they lose their fame?

Joycons don't break easily though?
At worst you get stick drift and it costs not even 5$ to replace them
>s-stick drift isn't fatal
Drone
Certainly not fatal enough to trash the entire perfectly functional joycon
>perfectly functional
>still drifts
That is a contradiction
I've had to trash 4 joycons (2 sets) now due to stick drift.
>Trash them
Why? Nintendo literally repairs them for free. I got mine back within the week too.
to much effort, can't do that
It's less effort than buying new ones. And you get to keep your 60 bucks. Seems like a no brainer to me.
Why would you want new ones if you can get your old ones repaired for free? I don't understand.
You could buy new ones, and repair your old ones for free anyway. Always have a spare pair
>would you want new ones if you can get your old ones repaired for free
Based illiterate retard
What am I missing?
I said Nintendo sends out new joycons little retard
Oh my mistake. But that's also not true. They either repaired my joycon, or moved my joycon shell onto a new set, because I definitely got my original shell back.
They don't they send out new ones
>Why? Nintendo literally repairs them for free. I got mine back within the week too.
I live in Saudi Arabia. There's no Nintendo contact that I can send joycons to. Plus, I think they only replace them if you have receipts and they're within one or two years within purchasing.
>just buy the replacement stick
>oh and then pay someone to replace it for you
>btw you probably have to drive 1 hr there and back through annoying traffic to drop it off and then pick it up when it's fixed
>if you can find anyone to fix it, i mean lmao
alternatively:
>just buy a replacement kit
I can't be arsed. Time-consuming and annoying.
>You don't have to throw it away just fix it yourself
>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE NOOOOO I DONT WANT TO IM FUCKING LAZY AND WANT TO WASTE EVEN MORE MONEY BY BUYING ANOTHER $80 SET OF JOYCONS REEEESEEEEEEE
This is quite litterally a "what's 1+1 and don't say 2 I want a real answer" moment
>"what's 1+1 and don't say 2 I want a real answer" moment
I'm not even a part of this argument and I don't know what this means.
He's saying you can't complain about the Joycons breaking easily and randomly because fixing kits exists
Oh so he's retarded. Thanks for the help
Why should he have to fix a console? Other consoles don't need this they just work.
Pretty sure every controller was made poorly this gen.
Switch is last gen
Nope
I dunno about being an Arab and Nintendo, but they have been repairing my switch joycons almost as long as the console has been out.
If you have a digital receipt, even an email from Amazon saying you bought it 6 years ago, they'll fix it
I didn't save my receipt for the joycons unfortunately.
The only one kvetching is you. All I said is that I buy new ones when they break, and you kvetch and demand I repair them. Why? I don't want to spend my time repairing them. I'd rather just buy new.
Did you buy them online? From somewhere where you need to create an account? If that's true, you certainly have your receipt in your account history.
Nope, I bought all four of my joycons in-store. I think I kept the receipts of the most recent two, but they're different colors which is mentioned on the receipts.
It's worth sending Nintendo an email and seeing what you can do then. Even if you buy some, getting a spare pair for free is the obvious right choice.
Thanks bro. I'll try it.
You don't even need to open a joy con. I got my drift under control with the rubbing alcohol/contact cleaner and a cotton swab. I'm still using the same joy con that came with my switch that I got within a month after it's release date.
I never understood why some joycons drift after a short period of time and others never drift.
Its just bad quality control
Why are you retarded? Buy a replacement stick
even without the drift the controllers just feel awful to use
I wouldn't go that far they're still okay but the gimmick of taking them out wore off quickly
Yeah the sticks and buttons are so small and the dpad sucks
Much prefer the wii u gamepad
Both the joy(less)con and the pro controllers really pissed me off.
Been playing games since snes days and i never had to open a controller my self to fix shit, how did this ever happen and the fact they walked away without any problem is even worse.
Nintendo quality seal indeed.
>joy(less)con
Wow we have a kotaku writer here.
Remarkable wordplay, couldn't have thought of that one even if you paid me
If you defend Joycons you should just have a nice day
Where did I do that?
Never read a shitaku article in my life but based on them for doing that wordplay.
Nintendium hasn't been a thing since the turn of the millennium.
GBA was seen as good
Literally the only thing that could destroy the DSLite was time.
What
The hinge that holds the screen in place eventually will break by design. Everything else about it is indestructible.
The Ds lite is the most fragile DS model.
Mine never broke, but the hinge fails really easily. It's why there's so many DS lites that are just GBA's now.
My Wii U pas is nearly indestructible and survived two nephews and their friends always using it.
>Huge joycons
What?
I barely use the joycons. I keep them as spare controllers. I mainly use my splitpad pro and pro controller.
Did they deliver?
>2017
Woah clam down their gramps wth
>Has the Switch ended the High Quality Nintendo myth?
That hasn't been a thing since at least the wii.
Give me one good reason why joycons don't use hall effect sensors. If Sega could do it with the Dreamcast why can't Nintendo do it 30 years later on their console huh?
Money.
Nintendo won the joycons drift lawsuit in America though, joycon drift does not legally exist unless you're a child and therefore unable to sue Nintendo because you can't agree to the eula die to being underage
>Has the Switch ended the High Quality Nintendo myth?
That was probably the DSLite with its shitty shoulder buttons.
Never drifted once in 3 years, so, no it's not really a problem for me.
My left Joycon just started drifting. I noticed this while playing Mario Kart in handheld mode.
It ended with the DS and Wii era. With the Wii, those remotes were surprisingly fragile and couldn't survive being accidentally tossed at a wall, and the console was built with cheap, thin plastic that creaked like my grandad's ankles. Then the DS had the same kind of plasticshit problem with build quality what with their tiny, fragile buttons that loosen like a roasty's snatch after a couple months of dedicated play and the flimsy hinges for the screens. Just embarassin.
GCN/GBA was the end of high quality Nintendo. Just facts m8
Does the paper/card trick work in fixing drift? I haven't tried it yet.
