The Switch has been an incredible success for Nintendo, but that doesn’t mean the hybrid console has been without its problems, one of the biggest being the Joy-Con drifting issue. Despite plaguing buyers since the Switch’s release in 2017, Nintendo has avoided apologizing—until now.
As the name suggests, drifting is a hardware issue where one of the Joy-Con sticks registers input even when it’s not being touched, causing the player to drift in one direction. It’s said to be particularly noticeable in first-person shooter games, and while calibrating can help, some say the controllers eventually become unusable.
Nintendo was far from contrite when it came to the faulty Joy-Cons. Last year, it wrote: ”We are aware of recent reports that some Joy-Con controllers are not responding correctly. We want our consumers to have fun with Nintendo Switch, and if anything falls short of this goal we always encourage them to visit http://support.nintendo.com so we can help.”
