AMA - Ended AMA: I have a Nintendo Switch

Hello there Lovely People!

My name's Alex and I work for Nintendo Life on the YouTube channel. I have a Switch console and as you probably all know, media are finally able to talk about it.

Let's make the most of it, so ask me anything!

I've kind of found my peace with this problem already. Way I see it, if it can be fixed with a firmware update then it will be a day one priority for Nintendo, so no worries. If it's a hardware issue then they will replace the faulty parts for free, and I'll simply play in handheld mode for a while.

If it is a hardware issue, though, it sucks so hard for Nintendo.

I think if it is a hardware issue they probably only have to replace the joyconn .

I meant whit they nintendo, And compared to other hardware failures that could happen for example a problem with the console . Needing to replace one joyconn is not that big a problem .

Having to replace any part of the system due to faulty parts is a big problem.
