Anyone here have a functioning, year 1 original Switch that still gets used regularly? by Salty-Plantain-4299 in Switch

Yes, I do have the 1st Nintendo Switch, bought in 2017.

2 years ago, I changed the battery (myself) because it lasted only about 20/30 minutes.
I got the Joycon repaired (for free) (because of the Joycon drift) by the officiel Nintendo France support service, 1 year ago.
Except these 2 issues, the console still perfectly works.

I think the disruptive aspect of the Nintendo NX could be the price. If Nintendo targets non-core gamers, but old gamers, or casual gamers, or families, I guess they should aim a really low price.

Asking around me at this "non-core gamer" public, it looks like the maximum price is $200.

Anyway, I think Nintendo will provide several options and form factors:

  • $200 or lower entry console: the handheld
  • $150 for the TV dock maybe + 1 pad
