Nintendo of Europe agreed to pay a negotiated fine of **€35 million**.>After a complaint filed by the consumer association UFC-Que Choisir in September 2020, the DGCCRF’s National Investigation Service (SNE) concluded that Nintendo of Europe had engaged in deceptive commercial practices between 2018 and 2023 by failing to fairly inform consumers about malfunctions affecting certain Joy-Con controllers for the Nintendo Switch 1.>The SNE found that Nintendo only began communicating about these issues in 2020, rather than as soon as it became aware of them. The problems included responsiveness bugs, commonly known as **“drift,”** which caused unintended, erratic, or reversed character movements, as well as controller freezes. This delayed and incomplete communication concerned a technical defect that rendered some Nintendo Switch 1 controllers unresponsive. According to the SNE, this contributed to discouraging consumers from contacting Nintendo’s after-sales service and led some of them to purchase new controllers instead.1/2
>Considering that these actions constituted the criminal offense of deceptive commercial practices—altering consumers’ economic behavior regarding whether to seek Nintendo’s after-sales service and, in some cases, whether to repair or replace their controllers—the SNE submitted the findings of its investigation to the Public Prosecutor of Nanterre in 2025.>Pursuant to Articles L523-1 and following of the French Consumer Code, and with the prosecutor’s approval, Nintendo of Europe was offered a criminal settlement of **€35 million**, which it accepted, along with the publication of a notice on the homepage of Nintendo France’s website.>As part of a coordinated European initiative, Nintendo of Europe officially committed in 2023 to **repair affected controllers free of charge**, even beyond the statutory warranty period. Repair requests must be submitted directly through Nintendo’s website.2/2ITS OVER FOR NINTENDIES
Adios, france
I had drift half a dozen times on Switch 1 joy-cons and replaced the sticks myself. Nothing on Switch 2 joy-cons so far after a full year and I haven't heard widespread reports of it either so hopefully it's not as much of an issue.
>>740585783BASED
they fixed joycon drift on Switch 2
Sacre bleu
Based... French? I feel disgust even typing this
>>740585954>just buy a whole new $500 console bro
>>740585954Oh yeah i guess that makes it okay then
many french wins today.
>35 MillionThat's like the average person losing a 50 dollar bet. Nintendo won this settlement if that's all they got out of it, lmao.
>>740585954>they fixed joycon drift on Switch 2Oh really? I just checked and they are not hall effect or TMR sticks
>>740586062Not really surprised that a frenchman would do this.
>>740585783>>The SNE found that Nintendo only began communicating about these issues in 2020,The SNE are so fucked, we literally have evidence of them doing so in 2018.
>>740585783based frogs doing something good for once
>>74058609480% of france earns less than 2k a month . Its the best they could muster
>>740586094pathetic tendie cope
>>740586405you will never win anything in your life. Nintendo got away with paying you faggots peanuts. LMAO!
>>740586116Imagine thinking that there's only one solution.
>>740585954No they didn't
>>740585783Will all the other controller manufacturers be fined too? Because otherwise nothing will change.
>>740586507You lost, Steve.
>>740586562Imagine thinking shitty plastic cover is a good solution when you can technologically eliminate the problem by not being a stingy kike
>>740586116Neither were DS1, GC, DS2, WiiClassic, DS3, or WiiUPro sticks. And they all work just fine to this day. I'm pretty sure the old xbox controllers all work just fine too. Ignoring the latest ones.
>>740585783>>740585794>35 million fine>i-it's overlollmao even
>>740586062>negre
>>740585954they fixed it literally on Switch 1 too. the new joycons don't drift anymore.>>740586116retard
>>740585783Wow now they can import even more niggers?? HOLY FRANCE W FR FR
>>740585915Why would you buy another product from them if the first one was a piece of shit?
>>740587059>company is found guilty of selling a defective product>people think it's good they have to take responsibility>OH MY GOD KILL YOURSELVES YOU HAVE TO LITERALLY DIESanest Nintendo fan.
>tendies when you DARE touch their billions dollars master
>>740586120If it was a German we all know what he'd be drugging them with instead
I've had it with PS5s.
>industry wide problem>one business is suedHuh?
>>740586062Just a prank bro
>>740587454Scientifically proven stick drift. Stop screeching at boogeymen and start self-reflecting. You're deeply troubled.
Both my ps5 controllers are drifting, same as near all my switch controllers are drifting. Switch 2 ones aren't.
>>740587454>joystick drift actually ENHANCES the experience!impressive cope
that money could've funded 3 pokemon games
>>740587454Kill yourself faggot
>>740587454snoy shit gets drift too, start your own lawsuit you obese faggot. God damn i can't stand tendoid dicksuckers.
>>740585783that's pocket change for nintendo
>>740586663Smoothest traveling analog sticks are on joycon 2.
>>740587358are you seriously implying they should sue the motherfucking french government?
>>740585783>35 millionThat's nothing. Fuck France and fuck Greedtendo
>>740587934Not that anon. But they could have grounds to counter-sue on how their controllers are in no way unique with their sticks. And how controllers across the whole industry suffer from the same thing and that being singled out is based on faulty premises. That wouldn't result in them getting off scot free, but it could result in a broader litigation where Nintendo only faces a much smaller burden of the consequences personally. And why wouldn't you be able to sue the government? Where do you live?
>>740588138This post is mental illness.
>pffft 35 million is nothing>anyway DIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIE AAAAAAAAAA GET OUT OF MY HEAD SNOYS
>>740587358>never genuinely lost a legal case?? i feel like that's not true but i can't think of any significant losses either
i dont care for consoleshit but 35 million is such a small amount lmao, what is that like 10 bucks for the average person? oh no its over
>>740588403Is this the only picture you have on your phone
>>740588315>>740588192
I mine got drift 3 years ago. Nintendo took them back for free, repaired and even replaced other parts I didn't see issue with. They covered the postage costs too.No hassle at all.
>>740585783>waaaaah my video game controller broke, i'm gonna waste millions of dollars in resources and time that could be spent on actual meaningful cases in court!
>>740586563post 50 cases of joycon 2 drift.
>>740585783Lol.
>>740585783>>740585794>Nintendo of Europe
>>74058919235mil is too little for a scam of this magnitude.
Shittendo can't stop losing.
>>740585783sisters... how can we make this about sony?
>>740585954All they did was add a skirt to try to make it a bit harder for dirt to get in but they're still using the exact same potentiometers otherwise.
>>740589468something about how the dualsense can drift too and therefore it's okay
>>740589484So where are the dozens of reports of joy-con 2 drifting that existed during the Switch 1 era?
>>740586586Pretty sure dualsense drifting within weeks is still a thing, the last I heard was a class action lawsuit, then nothing.I don't even think they repair those controllers for free either.
>>740589484It's using different materials too. And the size of components are slightly different as well. But this idea that potentiometer sticks are inherently flawed is also bunk. Most of the sticks of console gaming history have been potentiometer sticks.
>snoy is so.desperate for a win of any kind so people forget about Frank the wholesome randumbXD cube from God Of War Laundry and the dogshit Absolute State of Play after Xbox destroyed Sony
>>740585954by this time on my Sw1 I have already had to change joy cons because of the drift, this time I have the problem with the "R" button but it is infinitely more manageable
>>740589683There he is
>>740589540It's barely a year old. That doesn't mean the controllers are drift immune. >>740589592>Most of the sticks of console gaming history have been potentiometer sticks.Most, yes and a lot of those drifted. Sega were the only ones using Hall Effect other than that time Sony used it on the PS3 before they realized that makes them less money so they went back to drift sticks.
>>740589743Can you do anything else but use the same image?
>>740589804That'd requiere him to be original in any capacity, which he isn't. Why do you think he was fired from his janitor job?
>>740589753>Most, yes and a lot of those drifted.No they didn't. Now you're just spouting bullshit. This shit started last gen. From the PS3 and before potentiometer sticks were fine. It's not the concept of potentiometer sticks that are at fault. The old sticks still work to this day even after extensive use.
>>740589856He's their pet. Of course they wouldn't ban him.
>>740589753>Two more weeks
>>740589484>all they did was fix itYes
>>740589856whats stopping nintendo from making a controller with drift-proof sticks?
>>740589753>It's barely a year old. That doesn't mean the controllers are drift immune.True, but considering how fast it happened to the PS5's controllers after it launched, they are at least less susceptable right now.
>>740589856the same thing that's stopping tendies from having a containment board
>>740589804Can you do anything else but piss you pants, cultist?
>>740589905>No they didn't. Now you're just spouting bullshit. My PS2 controller drifted. My gamecube controller drifted. You're an idiot. Nintendo included an actual workaround for it on the Gamecube.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3jyoEK4C00
>>740589967What's stopping Sony who had them drift on launch?
>>740585783NINTENDOCOUNTER SUE THESE MEN
Aww look, he's having a complete meltdown! Funny how he can never have any console warring thread without him losing it because no one believes his snoy lies.
>>740590017but snoys don't have drift proof sticks?that's a consolecuck problem in general, their first party controllers all fucking suck dong and they get tribalistic over ityou just got upset because nintendo's the target right now
>>740585783bien, nique ces gros enculés de MERDE
>>740590012Oh hey it's the same faggot from the other thread.Who is STILL not playing videogames.
>>740588839Haven't owned a console in almost 20 years. lose weight tendie faggot.
>>740590017>>740590046Two wrongs don't make a right. I never said it was okay for sony to also make shitty controllers. WHy do you always deflect instead of admitting that yeah nintendo fucked up. You can still like them without loving every single thing they do?
>>740589990The PS5 controllers didn't have the skirt to keep dust out. Drift doesn't happen only due to 1 factor though, dirt can fuck up the potentiometer sensors but wear and tear fucks them up too.
>>740587358>super Mario mart
>>740590012Wanna try this again, snoy?
>>740590164Nigger, they addressed it and give free repairs if you send them in.
>>740585954Oh yes. The easy fix for a broken joystick is to just buy a new console. Do you even think before you post or are you such a fanboy you can't help but white knight for Nintendo?
>>740590212They should still be sued
>>740590164>>740590225Uh oh snoy melty
>>740590043>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3jyoEK4C00Holy fucking retard. The video you linked isn't even of a drifting controller. If the stick was tilted when you powered on the game, it'd adjust the defaults of the stick, making the neutral position of the stick not appear neutral. In the video he is just resetting the controller. Which alternatively could have been done by resetting the gamecube itself or unplugging the controllers. It wasn't fucking hardware stick drift. You're so full shit. The old controllers are fine.
>>740590212That policy had to be leaked out by a rogue NoA customer service employee for people to figure it out. Also, they don't repair them. They just send you replacements, which has resulted in people getting cornholed out of special edition Joycons by just getting standard edition ones back instead.
>>740590308Pretending that it was never a thing doesn't help anon.I've had drift happen twice with my joycons, granted the third time the drift never happened again and have been fine for years now.
>>740590153Oh hey it's the raped cattlegoy
>>740590379I have a drifting gamecube controller in my closet right now, you absolute mouth breathing neanderthal and the sticks aren't tilting whenever I start up my Gamecube or Wii with it.
>not even Thursday>famitsukeks melt down early because nintendo got suedIt's just a lawsuit.

>>740590645>Still shitposts instead of playing gamesLMAO
>>740589468We could accept that the early joycons had too high a failure rate. Maybe throw in some jibes that the Switch outsold the PS5 because the PS5 had no games.Then you'll probably get a reply about frame rates or resolution, which no one outside Internet forums care about
Based frogs.
why is consolecattle so fucking mentally illhow can you be so loyal to a corporation that you defend objectively shit and low tech hardware developing issues as a result of it being shit and low tech

>>740590932>It works with actual drifting too you fucking imbecile, it recenters everything.It doesn't repair your fucking hardware. It just resets the fucking controller. It's not a hardware caused drift.

Too bad this.money will magically disapear and serve no purpose outside of getting.more underaged prostitutes for the judge and their politic friends
They weren't fined hard enough. 35 million is VERY lenient and I doubt it'll deter Nintendo in the future either.
It's not enough, they should have fined them more. Having said that, good, they fucking deserve it. It's atrocious that they acknowledged the problem and did fuck all about it on an engineering level.

>>740591215what is a sony?
Is this retard really trying to argue that stick drift was always a common issue or what?
>>740591059Yeah no shit dude, it's just a built in way to deal with drifting controllers. Of course it's not going to telepathically fix your controller with a button command, how is that even a thought in your head? it's not really too different than changing deadzones on modern controllers in Steam to help reduce the impact of drift, of course that's not making any physical changes to the controller.The potentiometers on old controllers still led to drifitng. Drifting became more prevalent after the PS4 when the quality of potentiometers worsened but the fucking laws of thermodynamics are at play here. Do you not realize how retarded your opinion is? That somehow controllers are immune to the fundamental laws of existence?
I just think it’s absurd Nintendo refused to put Hall effect sticks in the joycons despite knowing the design of the joycons makes them prone to drifting. They’re small, fragile and don’t have a lot of travel time, and no I don’t believe the people saying the joycon 2 “fixed” the drift because the analog sticks are still the same as the last model, all they did was add a little plastic cover. I replaced mine with tmr sticks from ifixit since I also replaced the left buttons with a dpad, and they were 20 bucks and took 5 minutes to drop in. Ive seen Hall effect sticks for like, 6 dollars on aliexpress, the fact Nintendo refuses to replace their flawed design when it would cost next to nothing tells me they’re fully aware and this is intentional. They already charge a frankly retarded price for joycons so this is just their way of double dipping. Pic related so that fucking autist doesn’t start screeching because I criticized his god. Yes, I have a switch 2, no it’s not perfect and a lot of issues people have with it are valid, stop sperging.
>>740591272Shittendo can't even sue Pocket Pair, what makes you think they can sue a country for something they are guillty of?
I don't ever recall stick drift being a thing 25 years ago, maybe I just didn't notice it because I was younger but this seems intentional across every brand
>>740590821Must defend corporation.
>>740590972>youAlso you didn't answer the question.

>>740591629>he lets his battery charge to 100%ngmi
>>740591332>but the fucking laws of thermodynamics are at play hereOf course they are. Use it enough and even a hammer will be worn down. But that doesn't mean that most old controllers still work fine even after extensive use. And even if they do struggle, it's unlikely to actually be from stick drift. But the X + Y + Start from the video you linked. Just fucking unplugs and replugs the controller without actually having to unplug and replug it. It doesn't fucking fix stick drift. It only fixes the issue of sticks that were misaligned when plugged in. Because all X + Y + Start does is replugging the fucking controller.
>>740585783Based now fine Sony too, the dualsense drifts even worse
>>740591343>because the analog sticks are still the same as the last modelthey literally are not the same part, the joycon 2 uses a larger stick from a different supplier. I agree they should've used hall effect after the entire joycon drift debacle tho
>>740585783>ITT : tendies celebrating a future more favorable gaming experience while snoys are having a meltyReally show tendies are the most wise cosumers.
>>740591443Alps, the factory that makes pretty much everyone's potentiometer sticks, cheaped out on materials around 2016 (namely the white plastic centering "bracket" around the stick itself), making them thinner and thus much more prone to wear and drift. This timing meant Switch was the first generation to be plagued by this from the start (though late-run Dualshock 4s and Xbone controllers were also more susceptible), especially with smaller sticks on the Joycons since miniaturization means even thinner plastic.
>>740591772The more baffling one for me is how the “pro” controller still uses the old stick designs when fucking thing is $90. I like the pro controller but I also don’t know how long it has left before the sticks inevitably shit the bed.
>LOOK AT HOW MAD TENDIES ARE>Look inside>snoys are seething
>>740591779>wiseconsoles explicitly predate on the lack of wisdom and tech illiteracy
>>740591904my switch 1 pro's sticks are still fine
>>740585783Oh no, Nintendo was fined a penny to the dollar, what will they do?
>>740586016Isn’t it 600 now actually?
>>740591876Granted I don't know anything about manufacturing products but seeing as the design is a material quality issue I would say this is intentional, it's just the old unsubstantiated crazy talk because I don't have a source
>>740591907>I'm not raped, it's the imaginary snoys that are
>>740585783Lmao funny how Nintendo constantly get screwed over because they think the can apply their local yakuza lawsuits overseas.Remember how they lost a lawsuit over trademark in Costa Rica because a shop happened to be called Super Mario and lost or how they're getting screwed over with Palworld?
Here's your source of inflation.
>>740585783>>740585794Not reading all of that. How does this even happen though? I have had my Switch, played a ton on it, never came close to having this drift issue. You guys play with your toys the wrong way.
>>740591667>get raped>schizo out
Theyll be fine
>>740591779>>740591907>projecting while also saying the opposite of what is happening
>>740591709I just pulled out my Gamecube from my closet and tested it again for myself and it fixes the drifting for me. The controller drifts and keeps hitting Up but with the button command, it's fixed. Granted, I had to do it in the bios because my disc drive is apparently dead as fuck now. That's gonna be fun in 20 years when people pull out their PS5 and their ssd is dead as fuck and nothing runs.
>>740585783>35 millionsSo their 5 min revenue? What kind of retarded fine is this? They will do it again
Do 2nd hand Switches sell for anything? I never use my Switch. Its just been left in the box on a shelf for ages. I really only ever used it to play BOTW and TOTK and a very small bit of smash bros at Christmas the year it came out. I have this smash special edition switch.
>>740585985french hate is forced and i'm an englishmen
>>740585783When is sony getting sued for stick drift on their piece of shit ps5 controllers
How come modern controllers drift way more than older controllers? I never has drift with my PS1 or PS2 or PS3 controllers. I will say that my 360 controller did drift eventually bit to be fair I used it for like 6 or 7 years before it got drift. My Switch got drift after only like a year and I barely even used it.
>>740585783Good, now sue Playstation. Their controllers are broken AF
>>740590225lol dude the joysticks on joycon 2 are better, seethe
>>740593446
>>740593550>>740593773>B-B-B-B-BUT SONY!!!!!every fucking time
>>740594129Seems a fair thing to ask when Nintendo weren't the only ones with the issue.
>>740594129In this case both Sony and Microsoft have been called into question, but it's only news if it happens to Nintendo right?
>>740585783https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7-KX9-mUFw>35 mil
>>740586116>Oh really? I just checked and they are not hall effect or TMR sticksobviously not a tendie but i think that TMR sticks is just a meme reddit is obsessed about. my black dualsense is still going strong for almost 2 years now.
>>740594129It's all they have.>>740594364Nobody is stopping you from making threads.
>>740594129You know the dualsense also have the same issues with stick drift as the original Switch right? Hell both of my dualsenses got VERY slight drift before my day one joycons got it. The worst part is that Sony doesnt even have free repairs like Nintendo does.
>>740594581Why would we make another thread when its part of the same story? It's all part of the same discussion.
>>740585915No drift here but one of my launch joycons has a stiff stick
>>740586872>35 million fine>Per joycon
>>740586116dumb zoomer redditor
>>740587434The industry leader getting slapped should, at least in theiry, be a strong enough warning to the others to get in line.
>>740589905>No they didn't. Now you're just spouting bullshit.I wish I could take a picture of my N64 controller right now, holy shit. You have no fucking clue.
>>740597897>of my N64 controllerThe N64 stick isn't a potentiometer stick. And even it, doesn't tend to drift. It just tend to get worn the fuck out, making the deadzone larger and larger.
>>740597897Murrican N64 controllers had a separate issue where they omitted the lubricant other regions had, causing the stick plastic to physically wear down rather than a sensor issue.
>>740592413>I won the joycon lottery>That means the people who lost the joycon lottery do not existDo you breath with your mouth?
>>740586062holy fucking based
>>740586062Did he drink their piss though?
>>740585783this is probably still cheaper for nintendo than making the damn things more durable to begin with
>>740589552sony does not no.but the gaming media rides sony's dick so you never hear about how shitty their controllers actually are. all while putting attention on Nintendo to run cover for sony>>740589743snoygger cuck-3million karma to ziony.You controllers are twice as bad at this shit.
>>740600747he's going to underflow the karma counter at this rate
How does my 20+ year old Gamecube controller still work fine without drift and the newer shit breaks in a week?
>>740585783>snoy tranny fears the nintendo
>>740585783nice. consumers get jack shit but lawyers make millions.
>>740601479Presumably ALPS cut corners on carbon film at some point.The size, pinout, and connector on the sensor housings hasn't changed over the years, so it should be possible to transplant, for example, Gamecube sensors to a Dualsense. I would've experimented with it myself if TMR sticks hadn't become an option.
Pay to whom? The French government? That doesn't help anyone who was affected by it.
>>740603643>the jews fears the samur-AAAACK!
>nintendo controllers NEVER stick drifted, that was a snoy lie>o-okay, some of them drifted, but it wasn't widespread>okay, they do drift, but who cares? Just buy another:l
>>740585783Based frenchies
>>740603714Those consumers get what they paid for. Anyone that buys Nintendo ''products'' after the SNES deserve to get screwed over.
>>740585954Easy not to have stick drift when there are no games.
>>740605486shalom
>>740586062Holy FUARK my hero
>>740585783Basé et cours d'assises pilled.
France baise ouai
>>740596261per degrees on a full rotation impacted by the drift on every joycons in existence**Nintendo is finished, pack it up malding and balding tendies
>>740604356they're paying me and exclusively me
>>740585783Not high enough and other countries need to follow suit, especially since did nothing to fix the issue going forward knowing people will just buy more replacements.
>>740609773Rare footage of a Peugeot that hasn't burned down(yet)
>>740594129Thinking nintendo hasn't gone to shit and isn't fucking them over by screeching sony is worse is all tendies have.
Good. Maybe they'll start putting higher caliber parts in their systems now, so I don't have to buy a third party controller.
>>740585783Why is nobody suing Sony for dualsense drift?
Genuinely why are Euros like this? They just love wasting time and money on pointless vain things>duhhh look how cultured we are, let's kill big businesses
>>740593667Old controllers didn't use L3/R3 much which greatly increases the wear on the controller. The sticks are just inferior now to save money as well, it's a bad combo.
>>740610460It wasn't as bad
>>740610064They offer free repairs.
>>740585783Why is Nintendo getting fined for this when EVERY controller from last gen fucking sucked? It wasn't just a joycon problem, I had 3-4 PS4 controllers start drifting and 2 Xbox controllers start consistently dropping inputs. Where the fuck are their fines?
>>740596261>>7406099622 more weeks.
>>740585783HAHAHHA Oui putain c'est trop marrant hahaha
>>740610694>not using chink controllersngmi
>>740585783Victim here, where do I redeem my tendie bux?
>>740610694I mean you can read why, but the others probably never had anyone look into it as fast.
>>740610575Only after denying the issue existed for years and several class action lawsuits they screwed people over with by saying children agreed to the tos and eula. Only then did they silently offer repairs while banking on everyone just buying replacements instead. Nintendo was, and still are, complete scumbags about this.
Realtalk: I've never experienced drift. I don't know what you people are doing to your controllers.
>>740585783>>740585794holy based, they got away selling that fucking garbage for almost a decade
>>740611157It's only 35 million that they already paid my retarded frogposter.It's really a non-issue if they can shrug it off like this.
>>740611078I got my joycon drifting like 6 month in while barley playing handled. My splat 3 pro controller started drifting recently too and I had to open it and replace the stick. There's a reason Nintendo offer free replacement for your joycon if they drift
>>740611248the precedence is what matters
>>740611078Had 2 joycons drift, one of them I barely used and always the right stick.The third pair never drifted even once though and I kept thinking it would happen when I least expected it.
>>740611078mine drifted a few months after I got them, at first I thought I was being too rought playing smash brosh, but then my second ones started dirfting too. Fuck that garbage, fuck nintendo, and fuck you for defending them
>>740611464Anon, he's not defending them as much as them saying the equivalent of 'works on my machine.'
>>740611565I'm saying I suspect they treat their belongings like apes.The only controllers I've ever had trouble with is the N64 stick breaking down, and the PS3 rubber going sticky.
>>740611565he is implying everyone who got drifting joycons is a fucking monkey, it's the same as defending them at the same time as they call you a fucking moron
>>740611658So why doesn't this happen to people who look after their stuff?
>>740611697I looked after mine and it drifted
'TENDO LOSTPAY UP LIL TENDIES HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHATHEY'RE GOING TO OFFSET THE FINE ON YOU, THE CONSUMERAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAPAY UP LIL TENDIE THAT'LL 79.99 FOR THE OOT REMAKE + TAX + TIP
>>740611658Bruh I got it all wrong then considering you got him word for word >>740611653Why do I even bother trying to understand people like that.
>>740611697it did, it happens to almost everyone regardless of what they did with their joycons
>>740585783can we say nintendo is a criminal organization now?
>>740611789They paid it ages ago anon, you're acting like a retard in public for no reason.Again.
>>740611890always was they used the Yakuza to kil that one guy
>>740611815Mine are fine.
>>740585783They need to be forced to pay more. I went through 4 pairs of joycons during the life of my switch. 4. And the entire fucking time I got gaslit by the fanboys here that it was my fault, I should have washed my hands, blah blah blah. Fuck you. Deeply and sincerely, fuck you faggots. Nintendo should be hit with fines like this by every country in the EU for their kikery.
>>740585794>ITS OVER FOR NINTENDIESisn't this good for consumers THOUGH
>>740611890>>740611948Why even bother to samefag?You can just shitpost without needing to reply to yourself here.
>>740611948>that one guyHIS NAMEWAS GUNPEI YOKOIAND THEY KILLED HIM OVER THE WONDERSWAN
>>740611896it doesn't matter when they paid or what they had to pay moron, what it matters is that justice said Nintendo is responsible now
>>740587075Because Nintendo has a four decade history of making top tier indestructible products, and one small mistake, that they already corrected, isn't enough to break my trust?
>>740612128Yeah and they agreed with this - back in 2023.This isn't suddenly new news now retard.
>>740612083>>>740612126Yeah I was scared i'd make a spelling mistake and saying "that one guy" was funny, still fucked up nintendo did that tho
>>740612149>one small mistakea mistake they never fixed, they never admited to be on the wrong and completely ignore for years>that they already correctedon a new console
>>740612275You are aware that 'posting proof' means absolutely nothing these days right?
>>740612450>>740612083you are pathetic
>random schizo points out samefagging that doesn't exist and makes a big deal out of it for like 10 minutes
>>740612450Whatever they killed the guy eithet way and that'a fucked up
>>740612529Yes yes, and now I'm going to wish misfortune on your cow, fear me or some shit, cry me a river for bringing awareness to you.
>Random schizo shitposter gets called out for samefagging and needs to defend his honor
>>740585783They tried to say the drift stuff wasn't real so based France
>>740586116holy fuck, look at all those angry faggots over a simple statement
