Why not get it fixed by nintendo?


they'd do that? i figured the warranty wouldn't cover extensive water damage. hell, might as well give it a looksee though.


well its better to pay $70-100 for a repair than buy a new one.. It might be lower than that.

(killeryoshis note - Who put that there ?)
Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true. 2nd UPDATE: I have no Switch 2. I am now behind

I thought Nintendo consoles were indestructible.

Seriously though, unless you have GBA games and no GBA to play them in, I would go with the DSi. My guess is that sometime in the next year, there will be DSi only content that will be worth having to the point that people will have to upgrade.

Virtually indestructible but like any great superhero they have one fatal weakness, strangely Nintendo's happens to be water.

I've been faced with the same decision recently and in the end i decided, because i don't have any GBA games, I might as well get the DSi.

yeah my friend wants to get one too anyways, so i think i'm gonna buy the DSi with him.

@ killeryoshis

i did look up on the nintendo website to see if that sort of thing was covered, and sadly it wasn't, so i'm just going to throw caution to the wind and buy a new one. i always sort of did want one anyways so i guess this is a good enough reason to get one.
