@arstechnica Would very much welcome Nintendo to offer the same for repairing joy cons.

@vwbusguy @arstechnica That would interfere with Nintendo's brilliant plan to build disposable-quallity controllers and sell them $60/each.

@tob classic Nintendo. Making you buy the same thing’s you already paid for.

@Dwevil Unfortunately, Nintendo's calculation that their enjoyable and unique games will drag us kicking and screaming into their gross hardware ecosystem is mostly correct.

@vwbusguy @arstechnica tbh you can get halls from third parties. Nintendo should embrace the spirit of R2R, but I don’t think it’ll matter much when the controllers are garbage to begin with.
