Nintendo provides a new update on the problem of Joy

After years of majority silence on the part of Nintendo regarding the problem of Joy-with who have had many Nintendo Switch owners, the Japanese Games company today provided a new update on the subject. And although this update does not promise that Joy-will drift cease to be a problem for many Switch users in the future, Nintendo has said that it continues to make improvements in the controller.

In a new interview published in Nintendo s website that spoke about the launch of Nintendo Switch s new OLED model, Toru Yamashita, who is the Deputy General Director of Nintendo, provided a little more clarification on the current state of Joy-with controllers . Specifically, Yamashita explained that Nintendo has tried to improve the durability of Joysticks Joy-over over the years, especially compared to when the switch was launched for the first time. Joy-with controllers have many different characteristics, so we have continued to make improvements that can not always be visible. Among others, the parts of the analog joystick have been continuously improved since the launch and we are still working on improvements, said Yamashita.

Speaking more about how those improvements look, Yamashita spoke about how Nintendo has tried to redesign the thumbsticks just a bit in the quest to make them more durable. In addition, he also said that the tests he performed internally Nintendo has also been improved to make sure that the joy-with are reaching a higher level of fidelity. The parts of the Joy-Conion analog joysticks are not something that can be purchased in the linear, but are specially designed, so we have submitted to many considerations to improve them. In addition, we improve the reliability test itself, and we have continued making changes to improve durability and approve this new test, he said. When the effects of our improvements were confirmed, we immediately incorporate Joy-en controllers that are included with the console, Nintendo Switch Lite, and those sold individually, which were manufactured at that time. This involves the internal Joy-Con components, so you can not see the improvements from the outside, but we use the new versions of the pieces when we repair them. In addition, similar continuous improvements have also been made for the Nintendo Switch Pro controller .

However, at the end of the day, Nintendo explained that no matter how much I can try to improve Joysticks Joy-con, general wear will continue to make thumbsticks worsen over time. Although there may be no definitive solution, Nintendo said that this is a problem that is continually adding and that you will only seek to continue advancing in the future.

If you are someone who has experienced joy-with drift in your own nintendo switch in the past, how do you feel this new message from Nintendo? Do you feel that Nintendo is doing enough to try to solve this widespread problem? Let me know your thoughts in the comments or on Twitter in @ mooreman12.
