Offers a repair service, you can send in your devices and with a little luck you will return to you after a short time. But this is not only possible if you are still within the guarantee period and have the receipt, no: You can send your consoles send in without these requirements, but then you have to pay for a small contribution. This works even with the old devices as old as the Nintendo 2DS or 3DS.
Nintendo fan sends his childhood consoles and gets completely new handhelds back
That's what it's about:A Nintendo fan living in Great Britain sent two 3DS handhelds from childhood to repair at Nintendo. He is more than enthusiastic about the result. For a really narrow thaler, he simply received two completely new devices. One 3DS is even a really cool special edition.
Here you can see the two devices:

It dealt with theSubmit modelsAround a blue New Nintendo 3DS XL and a turquoise Nintendo 3DS. As the originator of the post writes, he was unsure what to expect and he feared that Nintendo no longer had any spare parts. At the same time, he was relatively uncomfortable to separate from his childhood console, which he had had over 15 years.
But the result was outstanding:Nintendo has replaced the turquoise 3DS with a completely new handheld console and the New 3DS XL with a brand new Hyrule edition. He was even asked what replacement he would like and could have had a Samus Aran variant or the Majora's Mask edition, for example.
What did he pay?Of course, the question arises immediately and the price works more than fair. To replace the two devices, the Reddit user paid only £ 79, which corresponds to around 95 euros.
This is also possible in Germany:In this country or in Switzerland as well as in Austria, you can still send in your older handhelds at Nintendo for repair or exchanging them. Apparently no wii and no more wii u are accepted, but at least the Nintendo 2DS, the 3DS and the many variants.

The community is thrilled:Most of the comments are happy with the owner of the two handhelds and are surprised. In any case, there is to consider that the exchange has just taken place in Great Britain. For example, some people from the United States report that they could only get a 2DS back instead of a 3DS. Apparently it depends on what Nintendo has in stock on site.
What experiences have you already had with the sending in and repairing older Nintendo devices in Germany?
