Out-of-warranty Switch 2 repairs are a lot more expensive than the original console's


The Nintendo Switch 2 will be more expensive to repair than the original Switch once your warranty runs out.

The only real outlier from the general trend of Switch 2 hardware costing more to service is the Joy-Con 2 controllers. Whether the stick feels loose or the magnets won't attach, Nintendo is apparently willing to fix a Joy-Con 2 controller for free. Or maybe free repairs is some sort of quiet make-good for the well-documented stick-drift issues that plagued the original Joy-Con controllers.
