Most expensive terrible quality product in history. I've had 3 pairs of joycons and all developed terrible drift. Shameful quality control by Nintendo.
Still too high. $29.99 for a single, $49.99 for a pair seems about right. As it is, there is zero chance that I'll buy new joycons for my Switch. In fact, I haven't bought any Nintendo accessories for my Switch because the prices are ridiculous.
So $40 for you to buy a replacement of a product that failed in a year, when Nintendo should just replace them for free?
Nintendo replaces them if you send them in. At least in the U.S.
Nice. Now the same for Europe, please.
Is this a preparation for the new Joycon Pro without the drift??????
$29.99-$34.99 would make more sense, but this is a welcome change.
We love you, Nintendo. And you know it. But please bring down your prices.
Who the hell buys a single joycon?
That's good. I always felt that they were overpriced.
