It’s about $15 a year

A Switch repair has popped up in Japan, and it’s officially endorsed by Nintendo. For roughly $15 USD a year (or about $1.5 a month), you can join up.

It seems to actually be “wide’ as advertised, and will cover most repairs, with the catch that you get six uses per year. Shipping is covered, and the Switch Lite is covered (though not separate Joy-Con or the dock if you just own a Switch Lite, which makes sense as the Lite doesn’t come with either accessory). You can find all of the details on the main page, or below:

This is just the latest in a long line of Switch repair services to help Nintendo stave off current and future lawsuits dealing with the state of Joy-Con controllers. Remember that in the US at least,the company is still offering free Joy-Con repairs.
