One of the biggest issues that’s plagued the Nintendo Switch since its launch in 2017 is stick drift. In fact, Nintendo faced several lawsuits as a result of the issue, with an ex-repair supervisor previously stating that the workload to fix drifting Joy-Con was “very stressful”.

Now, while we can acknowledge that Nintendo has undoubtedly been working hard behind the scenes to mitigate the issue for the upcoming Switch 2, we’re nevertheless disheartened to confirm that the Joy-Con 2’s joysticks will not be Hall Effect.

    Not surprised, NintenDON’T is all about pure profit now. One can feel the uninspired releases stemming from the Switch/Switch 2 in terms of quality and care. The 3DS, Wii U was their last good releases.

      The Wii U doesn’t get love but it sure was interesting and an upgrade beyond just resolution.
      The 3DS line was inspired. Practically a smartphone in an era where they weren’t yet everywhere.

        Yup you are correct! If only Nintendo got the advertising right, the Wii U would of been a lot more successful despite it being under powered. At least it was innovative with great games, features and unique technology to match! Not to mention (Free) backwards compatibility. Same goes for the 3DS!

        NintenDON’T’s/ Industry (GREED) is the same reasons why Retro gaming is making a comeback!!!
