Nintendo expands free Joy-Con repair service in Europe.

Nintendo will now repair all Joy-Con controllers suffering from Joy-Con drift in the EEA and UK, even if they’re out of warranty. This policy is currently in place in North America and has now been extended to the EU plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland, and the UK. The only exceptions are if the issue has been caused by a third-party accessory, accidental damage or negligence, or if someone has already opened up the controller to try to fix the stick. Joy-Con drift has affected the Nintendo Switch since its launch in 2017, and despite revisions in the Joy-Con internals, it’s a problem that reportedly persists.
