Let’s talk about getting those Joy-Cons off to Nintendo for service or repair. It’s easier than you might think!
Quick Steps to Send Your Joy-Cons to Nintendo
The first thing you need to know is that sending your Joy-Cons to Nintendo is straightforward. You just need to visit Nintendo’s official support website and follow their process for setting up a repair.
Start by logging into your Nintendo account, select “Joy-Con Repair,” and fill out the necessary forms. You’ll receive an email with shipping instructions and a prepaid shipping label. Pack up your Joy-Cons securely and drop them off at the designated shipping carrier.
What Happens After You Send Your Joy-Cons?
Once Nintendo gets your Joy-Cons, they’ll assess and repair them as needed. If they’re under warranty, the repair will likely be free. If not, they’ll provide a quote for the repair costs.
After the repair, Nintendo will ship your Joy-Cons back to you, usually within 1-2 weeks. Keep an eye on your email for updates and tracking info!
