Re: Now Parents Are Getting Their Kids To Sue Nintendo Over Joy-Con Drift

Had to make an account just to comment here. Long time reader, first time commenter.

Please, stop saying "all you need to do is fix it yourself, buy a screwdriver to open it up and put a cardboard square in it" or "just buy a pro controller".

Please NL community, don't victim blame. Stop telling people the solution is to spend more money to fix a piece of plastic we pay $40 each for.

Taking the children out of the story, these two mom's have shown the EULA has a catch 22, where by you can't test a controller for quality or drift without first accepting an agreement.

You also shouldn't have to send the controller back 3-4 times as commenters above have had to do. After the second time, Nintendo should be sending you a brand new controller. Back in the day when Smash Bros Brawl had consistent disc read errors, they replaced my Wii system outright after the third repair. They even transferred my virtual console purchases to the new Wii. In this day, that would be unheard of.

There shouldn't be a repair program, it should be a recall program. Nintendo needs to design a new controller, and recall the existing ones.
