How to identify whether your Joy-Con controller contains a user-replaceable battery -- (includes replacement instructions)
All Joy-Con batteries are already user-replaceable and use basically the exact same steps as this guide, but possibly behind less common screw types. They just aren't being officially supported by Nintendo as user-replaceable on the older models, before this EU regulation, so Nintendo's not on the h

Best way to clean white joycons?
Very easy for Joy Cons! Did this with mine. All you need is two screwdrivers, one philips and one tri-wing. Tutorials can be found on iFixit

This is how it feels as a general Nintendo fan in 2026 who just wants to enjoy their games and systems without getting caught up in internet wars.
Joy-Con drift: known issue, knowingly screwing the customer over Nintendo still gives free repairs out of warranty in several regions to anyone who has Joy-Con drift. Nintendo uses software locks, warranty voidance threats, and parts restrictions to force consumers to use only Nintendo's official re

Let's talk: What actually makes someone a Nintendo Fanboy or not
I’m a Nintendo fanboy. Proud to be one. Why woundnt I be? You can call me a fanboy all you want. I don’t care. I’ll wear that label with pride. And as a Nintnedo fanboy, I can still sniff out a disienguius argument and bullshit lie about Nintnedo easilly. You say there are objective criticisms sure,

Nintendo switch repair
That joy-con drift was really bad on my Switch 1. Nintendo will fix them for free if you send them off, but you have to open up a ticket on their website first. The after market joy con stick replacements are just as bad if not worse than the original ones. It takes a couple of weeks to get the joy

We need more interactions where grifters/haters "team" up.
It is, though. In fact, I got stick dritf on my Dual Sense 7 months after I bought the console, while it took 4 years to happen with my Joy-Cons. At leat Nintendo sent me new ones with no charge. Sony made me buy a new controller all together. So far I haven't heard anything about it on the Switch 2

Sony exec Lin Tao says killing discs won't make the PlayStation 6 too much like a PC: "Going forward, we can coexist peacefully with PC games" | Despite pushback, Sony isn't changing its mind about dropping physical discs in 2028.
Despite a federal court tossing their class action suit due to their EULA, Nintendo chose to replace and repair drifting Joy-Con controllers for free since July 23, 2019, sending you a return box and returning a replacement to you within 7 days...meanwhile Sony, who faced a similarly dismissed suit,

Is Switch 2 worth it after I sold PS5 Pro?
No worries, it does not feel like a phone, i was just clowning a bit. I own two myself. The customer service of Nintendo however has proven to be lacking. Very strict and almost not friendly. They charge 11 euro when they return the in my case Joy Con grip untouched which i send and paid less for my

Switch 2 not turning on, don’t know how to tell if it is even charging at all!
Nintendo wouldn't replace a joy con if you sent it in with the console saying it melted them?
