Let’s face it:
Mario always survives with his annoyingly unlimited lives – hey, you’re playing the first Mario game where you died, you actually died.
You? Not so much—especially after your Switch slides off the coffee table during a late-night “just-one-more-level” binge. You watch in horror as it cartwheels onto the laminate, right in front of the dog, who is suddenly fascinated by your pain.
You pick it up.
It’s cracked.
Or maybe it’s that classic Joy-Con drift. Mario’s running left, you’re screaming right, and suddenly you’re rage-pausing like it’s the finals at The Rec Room.
Deep breath. Don’t throw it in Kempenfelt Bay just yet. Barrie’s got your back.
Game On: Why Barrie Gamers Come to Us
- Speedrun Repairs:
We know what it’s like when you’re this close to beating that boss and the screen goes black. Fast turnarounds are our thing—sometimes same day for standard clear repairs, always faster than mailing it to Nintendo.
- Zero Judgment:
Did you throw the Joy-Con? Did your kid dunk the Switch in their cereal? Did your roommate spill “just a little” beer on it after a Colts game? No shame here. We’ve seen it all—and fixed worse.
- Real Gamer Techs:
We play. We know what a cartridge tastes like (curiosity, not recommended). And we get why Animal Crossing is important.

Q: Can you fix it before the next Mario Kart tournament?
A: If you bring it early, probably! Tell us it’s an emergency—we get it.

A: Sometimes! If you’ve got a GameCube with attitude, bring it in. At worst, we’ll swap gamer stories.
