I guess you haven't had Joy-Con drift :)

Nintendo has (usually) made good on their mistakes - I don't know of any other company who does direct exchanges and gives checks back for broken hardware like Nintendo.

The Joy-Con drift is embarrassing

What do you think of the Xbox 360 "E 74" issue and how Microsoft handled it?

I am not familiar

Ohhh yes, now you made me even more depressed.

But at least the Switch OS has no oopsies (that I've seen.) :)

My [New] 3DS has also been rock solid for years, hardware and software.

The 3DS did have that issue where the lower half of the device could scratch the upper screen.

But I never minded much, because they kept replacing my 3DS because of the scratches, and back then, your 1-year warranty would reset every time a repair was done. So I just kept sending it in, and kept getting a brand new 3DS every year...

Horizon has a broken exFAT implementation that can corrupt SD cards. Normally it only affects people running homebrew, but it can also be triggered by eShop games (Pokemon Sw/Sh was in the news for this recently).

Some would consider the lack of folders an oopsie but that's probably not what you're referring to.

3DS is indeed a damn solid device, though. Nintendo did really well with it.

Thanks for the heads up about Pokémon. Will start backing up my card more often (though I'm not if you can restore them by just copying the data to another card, didn't work the last time I tried it.)
