I wish I had known about that. The cleaning accessories I’ve found over the years have kept it going without issues, but I definitely would have sent mine in for a preventative professional cleaning and refurbishing if they found anything wrong with it.

I remember being a bit surprised when I found out about it, but it also seems to be that a lot of people didn't know about this service, despite it being something Nintendo seemed to pride themselves in for a long time. Maybe they just didn't publicize it widely enough?

I never heard anything about it. I definitely would have sent in the NES, SNES, and N64 for servicing if it was on my radar.
