During the April 2 Switch 2 Direct, Nintendo revealed several exciting features, including the redesigned Joy-Con 2 controllers. However, when asked about the possibility of stick drift on the new controllers, hardware design lead Tetsuya Sasaki’s response was vague. He mentioned that the Joy-Con 2 controllers had been “designed from the ground up” to provide “bigger movement and smoother movement,” but didn’t directly address concerns about stick drift.
The original Nintendo Switch faced significant issues with Joy-Con stick drift, leading to class-action lawsuits and widespread criticism. While Sasaki’s comments did highlight new features, such as magnetic connections and mouse-like functionality for detached Joy-Cons, many players are still left wondering if stick drift will be an issue once again.
As the release date for the Switch 2 approaches, fans are hoping for more clarity on this critical matter.
