By this point, the issues with Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons have been well documented. The Joy-Cons, while perhaps more functional than a standard gamepad, are also more a fair bit more fragile. Ever since the Switch launched, players have been reporting issues with the thumbsticks on their Joy-Cons drifting – that is, registering input when players aren’t making any.<\/p>\n

It’s been a problem that’s plagued the Switch seemingly regardless of model<\/a>, and in a recent call with investors [PDF<\/a>], Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa actually touched on the drifting issues. As translated by Kotaku<\/a>, Furukawa briefly apologized for the Joy-Con woes Switch users are experiencing, but didn’t say much more beyond that.<\/p>\n

“Regarding the Joy-Con, we apologize for any trouble caused to our customers,” Furukawa said. “We are continuing to aim to improve our products, but as the Joy-Con is the subject of a class-action lawsuit in the United States and this is still a pending issue, we would like to refrain from responding about any specific actions.”<\/p>\n

As Kotaku notes, this is apparently the first time that Nintendo has apologized for the problem. The class-action lawsuit Furukawa references was filed in July 2019<\/a> – nearly a year ago – by players who experienced Joy-Con drift both in the standard Switch and, later, in the Switch Lite.<\/p>\n

Here in the US, Nintendo has set up a special Joy-Con repair page on its support site, which helps illustrate just how widespread the issue may be. Despite this, there’s no indication of an incoming Joy-Con redesign that might help alleviate drifting issues in future controllers, but we’ll see if anything changes after this class-action lawsuit and Nintendo of Japan’s apology.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
