Pastel Pink/Pastel Yellow $88.61
The new colours already go for a cheaper price than the original colours at local stores. What the heck Amazon?
Note: Price updates daily according to JPY to AUD conversion rate apparently
CamelCamelCamel.
Totally agree, I'm even getting used to the drift, after some struggle its actually take my totk experience to a new level. (x)
They repair for free. But I agree. It is a bit shit
Not in Australia they don't!
Outside of warranty?
yes, had my 4yr old pair of joycons repaired for free. I did have original receipt from Amazon though.
Repaired through Amazon or direct from Nintendo?
@King Steuart: I got mine repaired free from Nintendo but had to have a receipt.
The drift issue is super annoying, especially that they haven’t changed the freaking thumbsticks, what did they do, buy 1,000,000 of these things?
@nhutty: Did they send back the same joy-cons? They have previously said that they might send back a different set of joy cons. So this becomes an issue if you like certain colours or have limited edition ones.
@azngamer: I believe they sent back the same joycons, mine were just the grey ones so weren't limited edition. The repair form said parts were replaced.

Interesting. I have few drifting Joy-Cons - all purchased locally but long time ago.
But I read multiple feedback here from various people saying Nintendo refused to repair their Joy-Cons and asked for some money to cover return postage so I never tried to approach Nintendo with my issue.
@SickDmith: I was afraid of this too, but they fixed both joycons, only one had drift. Maybe because I had invoice?
I got my 5 year old pair replaced for free. Opened a warranty case, Nintendo sent back a form, and a postage label. I still had the original order-confirmation email from Gamesmen ebay which I printed and sent with the joycons. Got them back a week and a half later, the Service Report said "replaced product" and listed old and new serial #s. Possibly refurb, but they "look new".
@SickDmith: There is an online form, and after awhile they will email you a paper form you need to print and include with the parcel. I forgot which one of these links is the correct form, I did both of them and I got 2 different emails. One of them had a prepaid postage label, ignore the other one.

Will Nintendo Australia repair a pair imported from Japan for free?
Other than convenience, I found the 8bitdo Pro 2 controller better to use and at almost half the price when on sale.
Can you link 8bitdo with switch Without using any dongle? Does it support any functions like vibration?
This one. On the back, it has a S, A, D, X switch which you switch and has 3 custom profiles too if you use the app to configure it.
S mode is for Switch
X is for Windows
D for Android and IOS

Current regular price is $59, I bought it on sale from JB Hifi.
Nice, will keep an eye on the sales then, cheers
can I use this for Mario party? I want to play 4ppl
No gyro :(
You can’t wake the Switch with it, and yes it does support vibration.
Does this have the ability to switch the X, Y, A, B buttons around on the switch to make it like PC/xbox configuration?
To be fair, after all this time and still never having sorted the drift issues, their RRP is overpriced.
