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.
The goofy mouse mode is honestly the only thing about the Switch 2 that reminds me of the old Nintendo, adding new input methods to new hardware. Even if it has limited support, it will be a very good thing for certain experiences like shooters, strategy games, Pikmin, and Mario Maker.
same company that made a system that could always wirelessly pair with bluetooth headsets/ear buds but didn’t enable that function for 4 YEARS then randomly dropped a software update activating that feature. That will always blow my mind.
Didn’t enabling audio mean you couldn’t have 4 players connected while in use, though? But, if you’re using headphones you probably don’t have more than one player anyway.
Enabling that BT connection was a mistake that Nintendo made under pressure tbh. Switch doesn’t support low latency audio of any sort so that feature is useless imo.
I’d rather buy $5 headphones at a train station shop than to use BT but I envy people less sensitive to latency because I did that and those headphones sucked XD

They raised prices a ton, and they didn’t even switch to the better sensor type that would fix such a persistent issue? Why?
Because they’re a shit company
Nintendo hates their customers and fans. Or at the very least view them with disdain and contempt.
I thought this was universally known and accepted?
Nope, have a goofy mouse mode that will be used in exactly 4 games.

They decided to use joycons to nickel and dime their customers.
