I'm so hyped for the Joy-Con Drift racing game!

[Protendo]

This is definitely one of the *cons* of the Switch controllers.

[doudasaz]

Its not only the left analog stick for me...

[SOLIDaegis]

So like was there a point to Nintendo even saying anything?

“Hey guys. We see a lot of you are having controller problems. Contact customer support, I dunno.”

I just thought it was funny.

[ThatOnePerson-coky]

both my joy-cons drift sadly, when I play games with camera control the camera moves on it's own

[NovaFrederick]

This is Nintendo way of saying "yeah yeah we get it"

[flowey]

What if you wanted to play in handheld mode


AND GOD SAID (SCREECHING CAR DRIFTING NOISES)

[platurt]

Great statement, but I'm kind of missing the "sorry we made you buy crap for 70 bucks a piece"-part.

[jen]

Nintendo apologizes for the issue they did because they were using tilt controls, please forgive them they would not do that mistake again

[alec]

"We are aware of *recent* reports of joycons not responding correctly"
"recent" as in 2-years-old-recent?

[superduck]

My joycon drifts to the left. It’s slightly aggravating.

Lmao, Nintendo only released that statement because a class action lawsuit was filed days ago about this issue.
I've had to return my Red Super Mario joycons because of this issue. Frustrating, to say the least.

[AntforceYT]

Hopefully those new joy cons coming in October work. Because I love those colors!

[Freashplayer]

Me: *Tries to play a game using the Joycon*


Joycon: DEJA VU
I'VE JUST BEEN IN THIS PLACE BEFORE
HIGHER ON THE STREET
AND I KNOW IT'S MY TIME TO GO
CALLING YOU AND THE SEARCH IS A MYSTERY
STANDING ON MY FEET
IT'S SO HARD WHEN I TRY TO BE ME

[CoolJoshk]

It is caused by the mechanical parts that pull the stick back to the center.
There will always be a minor drift, but this is fixed with ignoring values below a set threshold. Commonly called a dead zone.
Expect a system update to fix this slightly.

[Urbanxx]

When both Joy-Cons are busted: multi-track drifting!

[ftwinzeler]

I literally had to buy a new pair of joycons for this. I treated my joycons like babies, and that's the only issue ive ever had with it

[redkid]

Us: Nintendo, what are your plans on fixing Joy-con drift..?
Nintendo: I don’t understand the question..?

[mrcolegreat]

The Switch Lite joycons better not drift because then you would have to replace your entire system

[NintendYoshiSplatoon]

Nintendo: We want every player to have a great experience with the Nintendo Switch.
Also Nintendo: go to our support page lmao
