Nintendo president apologizes for the Joy-Con drift problem on Switch

The head of the Japanese company has not commented anything else because there is a complaint against Nintendo in the United States.

Since the launch of the Nintendo Switch, the problems of the Joy-Con have been a constant. The so-called Joy-Con drift makes the characters move by themselves even though the player is not touching any joystick. Despite the fact that more than three years have passed since the console hit the market, those in Kyoto have not managed to solve it in current models. Thus, Shuntaro Furukawa, president of Nintendo, has apologized to fans during a shareholders meeting, according to Go Nintendo.

The information is quite sparse in details, since the president has decided not to make any further statements about it for a specific reason: there is a complaint against Nintendo in the United States. It will be necessary to see, therefore, in which direction the courts move and how it affects the rest of the territories.

The Joy-Con are the small removable knobs that allow various control options. However, drift has been one of the problems that many console users have had to face. The Kyoto company is fully aware that the problem is real and that it is widespread.
