@Freek new joy cons aren’t terribly expensive, why repair? Go to a pro controller where you can, saves the joy con. In 5 years replaced joy cons twice, pro controller once.
@Axecon I call BS. You have your thoughts, but I have had an original Switch since day one. It is mostly connected to a TV, but has gone with me on a 17 day cruise of the Pacific Ocean, and flown with me to a variety of destinations around the globe in the almost 5 years I have owned it. I still take it to handheld mode at least once a week and will confess, even passed out with it in bed a few times. It’s still running strong and I will finally upgrade to the 2TB storage chip we were promised at outset of the device, before I see this device failing.
This also comes from a person who had an original NES and SNES, as a kid, and they were in full operating order until the day I sold them for rent after almost 20 years of ownership. Apparently some people don’t know how to take care of what they have.
@BlackTalon2 omg you reminded me of the days when I was in middle school and had the MARIO BROS playable watch, about 1988, 89, wow, had almost forgot all about that. Wish I still had that for nostalgia, but probably tossed it once I got my hands on an actual NES, which I had pleaded for about 2 years before it actually happened. Life has been Nintendo, every console, since those days. Approaching 400 games owned on Switch to date. I remember the days when a game like Doom would never see the light of day on Nintendo. I’m surprised every week by the stuff that’s getting out on the Switch and am in love with Nintendo’s apparently new philosophy about what’s allowed on their system. For all the naysayers, yes Switch may not have the technical edge of the competition, but the variety and flexibility is top notch. Spent the last several days laid up sick, and my Switch kept me entertained in handheld mode the entire time. Thanks Nintendo!

@dustinprewitt well it is the same as it was in 1988, I know I had the original game. Some things never change.
