Nintendo president apologises for Switch Joy-Con drift
Nintendo has given its first formal apology for the continued Joy-Con problems faced by Nintendo Switch owners.
In a recent investor briefing, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa was asked about the ongoing issue which has plagued the Switch’s Joy-Con controllers ever since the system first launched.
“Regarding the Joy-Con, we apologise for any trouble caused to our customers,” Furukawa said (as translated by Kotaku).
Specifically, the question was around an ongoing class-action lawsuit Nintendo is facing in the US from Switch owners who have experienced “Joy-Con drift” – the seemingly common experience of finding your controller not responding properly to analogue stick controls, or suddenly controlling itself.
