Nintendo Says JoyCon Wireless Issues Were Caused By 'Manufacturing Variation'

Not necessarily true. Could have been a more specific fuckup at a specific facility. Not every single unit is extensively tested.

Should be a swap at retail level but I guess stock isn't widely available for that.
So they didn't do extensive QA at one facility then? Still seems like a bad mistake.
This is very helpful. Will try it when I get home.

Quick question: Does anyone know the size of the box Nintendo would ship the Joy-con back in? Need to know if it's small enough to fit in my apartment's mailbox.

Increasingly, it seems that most of GAF actually does think that Reggie is personally sitting in that shed, with a hard hat on, putting together each Switch by hand, all while diabolically cackling about how much money he's going to make by *not* selling more Switches.

Just called and the lady from Nintendo support was super nice and friendly set up my repair pretty quick and sent me a return label and said it usually takes 4-10 but could be quicker.
I expect it to be pretty quick turn around since I am in New York City and I have to ship it to East Syracuse New York.
Will be shipping it out tomorrow.

Lol Nintendo what a shitty company.
So you think you can just admit there is a problem and fix them for free and you think you are off the hook?
You should pay the consumer for the trouble. That's why you will become a mobile company and then disappear.

WTF is this?

Mine starts to desync about 5ft away from console but I have a lot of wireless stuff in my room so I'm sure it has to be some type of interference when I told nintendo support that she told me to just send it in and get it repaired since the right one is fine.

If yours work fine you're probably not affected.

That's as good a response as you're gonna get for something like this so good for them. Mine luckily works fine. I actually have to put it behind the TV and the first time I docked it I tried using the joycons with the grip and they work. I've used the pro controller since then but I'm sure mine are fine
Pretty sure it's called "sarcasm."

Weird question perhaps, but you send it with or without a receipt? I got mine from a friend and don't have the receipt myself :/

How do you know if you have one? I did the Gamexplain test and it only messes up if I cram it in my armpit, behind my back etc. is that considered normal or should I send it in?

I'm not sure if I should send mine or not. In the 145 hours of Zelda I've played it's only acted up on me about 4 or 5 times. I mean, if the fix would make this zero then I guess I should do it, but will it? Then again I've not had issues with the right joycons at all admittedly, but they don't tend to get quite as constant a set of inputs as the left so it'd be harder to notice 
Same :3

I haven't really put any serious time in on 1, 2, Switch and I'm kind of afraid to until the joycon gets fixed.
OK -- their site should be far more clear about that
I believe anal insertion is the litmus test. If the Joycon disconnect while inside the anus, conference call Nintendo and your doctor.

I microwave steaks.
I find the best kind of sarcasm is the kind where you don't outright let them know, they have to use context clues to figure it out. Kids these days are spoiled with their /s

They were being really difficult back in '06 with my DS Lite when it had dead pixels when I didn't provide my receipt, hence the question just in case
I don't (nor do you, I presume) have any actual numbers to go by, however, the internet has a way of amplifying things. This is hardly RROD level.
And my joy cons are perfect, so far. So based my sample 100% are fine. Right?

Can't help but laugh at all the fanboys who said this wasn't a problem and blamed it on the users.
emm there were no such people

The larger problem is that some of the legit viewpoints I've seen here are so downright crazytown bananapants that one person's sarcasm is one person's serious opinion.

Oh yeah right. Nintendo will fix it for free? Fuck them they should give me Zelda for free to compensate me. And a free Zelda body pillow. Or female Link.

I agree.
This is good
Well that answers my question. I'll wait to buy more joycons until next month. Hope that is enough time. Just want em for Mario Kart.
Is this also sarcasm? Just trying to keep track.
Speaking of Joycons i noticed that if you press down in bottom area of the Joycons although they seem firmly attached they squeak a little if you force them a bit down. Do you guys confirm this? Also just went to a fnac store and they're giving snipper clips codes for purchasing a Joycon set.
No it's doesn't.

So how exactly do you know if you have the problem. I've been gaming the pro controller or with the joycons docked to the systems. So Im unawares if I might have an issue, plus I wouldn't mind sending mines in for repair.
