Those of you expecting Hall Effect Sticks on your Nintendo Switch 2 console will be disappointed to learn that the upcoming video game system won’t have Hall Effect sticks to avoid drifting issues which have plagued the current Nintendo Switch system. Instead, Nintendo of America’s Nate Bihldorff has said that Nintendo designed the Switch 2 Joy-Cons “from the ground up” and that they “feel really good.”
“Well, the Joy-Con 2’s controllers have been designed from the ground up. They’re not Hall Effect sticks, but they feel really good. Did you experience both the Joy-Con and the Pro Controller?”
Figured as much.
Done, I’ve went through too many joycon already on the Switch. What are we even paying for at this point. Shame on Nintendo, they know about Drift and aren’t fixing it because they don’t care.
You know they didn’t fix anything, because… 🙄
Honestly, they still couldn’t figured out on how to stop the joycons drift and I knew they couldn’t identified the problem on what’s causing it. I figured its going to happen again on the new machine. 😫
$15 Gulikit hall effect sticks are and have been a drop in permanent fix for years. Where you been??
My V1 Switch Joycons lasted until 2-3 years ago before they started drifting. I’d have to think they’d improve the Joycons 2 much to the point that it would wear & tear even less.
Currently I have over two hundred games for my Switch and I know for a fact I play it much more than most. My Joycon kept getting drift a little under a year of use each. I’ve literally bought about several sets of Joycon and a few traditional controllers for the console and every single one started drifting. I finally purchased some controllers from 8Bitdo with different sticks and a few years in they still haven’t got drift.
This doesn’t really matter. There are bad hall effect sticks and good non hall-effect sticks. Also, brands like 8bitdo moved on to TMR.
It is perfectly possible that Nintendo’s sticks are better than hall effect. Time will tell. Consumers need to not freak out about implementations that they don’t understand.
Keep defending the wealthy companies, it’s never Nintendo’s fault when things go bad. 8Bitdo Hall Effect are probably the best controllers you can get on Switch
How is he defending when no one knows what the sticks are?
Have we forgotten that Nintendo has always fixed issues in future Lite/New versions or the next gen over?
Like the original DS had the issue of easily cracked hinges that got fixed in DSi and 3DS
Wiimotes lacked any sort of capability beyond pointing, so Nintendo improved them with gyroscope and later made Wiimote+’s.
The NES had issues of being a side loader that caused bent pins and they later made a re-release with a top loader that fixed the issue.
So I say wait and see when people tear them down and show us in their tech vids.
If its the same shit, then we put up our pitchforks.
If its something new, then we wait and see how long they last.
Nintendo Never fixed the hinges on any of the DS and 3DS Models and every version of the Switch has had Drifting issues.
I’ve had the hinges break off of multiple DS and 3DS systems. Never had my GBA SP hinges break.
First of all, that doesn’t say ANYTHING about the quality of the sticks.
Second, Dreamcast had hall effect analog stick and it felt very odd to move it. Hard to describe, but the resistance was kinda non-linear (if that makes sense).🤔 Granted, teh Dreamcast was ages ago and maybe new hallneffect sticks feel better now, but back than, I didn’t really like it.
And third, aside from the Joy-Con (and N64) I never had any issues with any analog sticks on a Nintendo controller, so…
God damnit man.
Why wouldnt they think about that with the first joycons?
Because it is impossible to predict these kinds of problems
And above all, it all depends on how the user uses them… In 8 years, I have never known drifting while my brother, with his daughters, knew it after 2 years…
It is Extremely easy to predict these problems because companies have machines that can completely test every part of a controller and even simulate Years of use in minutes for one using said machines
