The Cost To Repair Nintendo Switch Lite Analog Stick Is Double Of The Joy-Con In Japan

Japanese gamers were surprised and shocked to find out about the high cost to repair the Nintendo Switch Lite analog stick and buttons in Japan.

If your Joy-Con is out of warranty in Japan and you experience issues such as non-responsive buttons or Joy-Con drift, Nintendo is able to fix these issues for 2160 yen (inclusive 8% sales tax). The fee applies to a single Joy-Con, so if both of your Joy-Con experience Joy-Con drift, you have to fork out 4320 yen.

As for the Nintendo Switch Lite, the repair fees for the same issues listed above is 4860 yen (inclusive 8% sales tax). That would mean to fix a single analog stick’s drift on the Nintendo Switch Lite, you have to pay more than double of that for the same issue on a single Joy-Con.
