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

                It's less effort than buying new ones. And you get to keep your 60 bucks. Seems like a no brainer to me.

                They don't they send out new ones

                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

                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.

              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.

              Why are you moronic? Buy a replacement stick

              >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.

                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.

                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.

    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.

        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.

    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?

    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

    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.
