Switch Joy Con warranty

Posted 14th Jul 2022

Hi,
Any idea what Nintendo need other than s/n for joy cons to process future warranty issues?
I was gifted a set and won't have the invoice/purchase docs for them..

Thanks

Last week I put mine through, bought Oct 2019 so clearly outside warranty, filled out the form (including the 2019 date), got the postage info (via UPS drop off), got a few update messages from Ninty as it went through their system. I didn't put the proof of purchase info in the parcel (couldn't be arsed to find it), but they repaired it free of charge and it's just come back. Hope that helps!

If its the joy cons I'm pretty sure you don't need any warranty proof. Due to the drift issues they have basically said they will repair any original joy cons for free.

The warranty is such a pain to follow so when my son's died I just bought replacements on Amazon and replaced them.
