Sent both our limited edition Pokémon joycons back to Nintendo as they were both having drift issues.
*** Nintendo Switch ***
- Thread starter Boomstick777
- Start date
I’d be interested in what sort of repair/replacement turnaround so keep the thread updated please.

Hope they don't just send back grey ones as I've heard they do sometimes!
You can actually get OEM replacement analogue sticks from replacebase now, I would have gone down that route and fixed them myself considering they're special edition ones.

My Ex got our sons replaced recently and it took just shy of a month. They have a backlog with Covid apparently.

They better not do, I emailed them about it actually as you can't select LE ones on the repair page. They told me to select grey one and they'll still sort them out. I'll be really unhappy if they do! Good job I've kept the email correspondence.

My red one has started acting up so that's going back, bought early December so just over 6 months old, played Pokémon let's go quite a bit using it.
The controllers really ruin my enjoyment of the system at times.

Its slow to return and doesn't center properly.
Oh, thanks. It’s not a bad turnaround considering postal delays etc.
Ah yes I did it on mine after and it was totally different.
They want you to have it as a service via Nintendo online.

Nintendo aren't withholding almost anything due to technical limitation despite what some people seem to think. Its all either monetary or control. The either feel like they would lower profits doing something or they don't do it because ultimately they are still a family friendly console. Thats the main reason their online is so half baked along with their social features.
Anyone else find it odd how quiet the Switch release calendar is this year? There don't even seem to be many rumours flying about, unlike previous years.
I've barely used my Switch since I tired of Pokemon Sword. Starting to wonder if I should just sell it.

Im only keeping mine for the Zelda sequel and the hope these rumours about Mario remakes come true. But yeah - haven’t really used it much unfortunately.

I’m playing borderlands on it at the moment. I Have such an addiction to it. Played it to death on pc. But so great to have it in handheld.

Errr we are in the middle of a pandemic?
The pandemic has thrown a spanner in the works for most industries. The gaming one especially. Most of these studios typically work together in offices, so changing to the opposite of working at home, yeah, big problem
I agree it's been quiet. But we're also in uncharted waters.
