The only thing I care about is a fix for the joycon drift issue that’s been present since launch. This is the third Switch iteration and still no word about this. I hope they fix it with Switch 2.0 or whatever they’re going to call it. I really want one, but I am not willing to shell out 70€+ every time one of the joycons goes wonky.
Admittedly I’ve never owned any Nintendo game consoles, but the conspiratorial side of me might think that the joycon drift thing might be an attempt at planned obsolescence. After all, Nintendo has an absolute monopoly on many beloved game franchises so they could totally pull off something like this and still get plenty of sales.

Yeah, maybe. I just hope the class action lawsuit filed against them last year will change something.
There was a class action?
Is, actually. As far as I know, it hasn’t been resolved yet:

Oh, nice. I didn’t catch that article. I hope this lights a fire under Nintendo’s ass and they start producing non-dodgy hardware.
Hope it goes somewhere.
Me too. It’s a neat little system, but I absolutely refuse to buy faulty hardware.

True, but that’s not really a long-term solution, is it? Nintendo isn’t going to keep replacing them forever.

Do they need some kind of proof before you send it? I have 1 left controller doing this
