Check the announcement banner at the very top. No plans yet for the Western market. This is only for Japan for now.

Reduce this thread if old. I can't find recent threads.

How about keeping the price and fixing the glaring design issues instead?

This is big.
If you buy 20 joycons over the lifetime of the device, then Nintendo just graciously gifted you 100$.
Absolutely unprecedented.

Maybe it's just me, but I felt like I'm a bit too advantageous for only experiencing my both Joycons' first drifting issues just after a month after they announced free repairs in the US. After sending it in, I haven't experienced drifting yet.

I just don't understand how Nintendo continues to get away with taking money for a product they know is faulty. Every joycon they sell should be more money lost for them in a lawsuit.

Dang that's 1/12th of the price of DRAGON QUEST® XI S: Echoes of an Elysian Age-Definitive Edition for Nintendo Switch

What a steal

Do they sell the orange or purple ones seperately? I don't see them in that list. I'd love double purple (I already have the orange/purple set).

As shoddy as they are the price should go down. I've never had so many issue with a controller before.

How about not charging me 6000 yen to replace all three of my piece of shit joycons? At least the 4th one hasn't broken yet!
