So, in some of my past stories, I’ve chatted about all sorts of Nintendo stuff, and I’ll toss the links to those at the end of this post.
But today, let’s dive into what Nintendo’s cooking up to tackle that pesky stick drift problem on the Nintendo Switch.
So, guess what? If this new patent is any clue, we might finally be saying goodbye to the bane of every Nintendo Switch owner’s existence — Joy-Con drift! Yep, Nintendo might just be on the verge of fixing that pesky problem with the release of the Nintendo Switch 2. I mean, it’s about time, right?
Now, before we get too excited, let’s remember that the Nintendo Switch 2 is still shrouded in mystery. Nintendo has been keeping this baby under wraps, giving us only tantalizing glimpses behind closed doors.
While we’re all dying to know about its graphics and battery life, there’s one burning question on the minds of Joy-Con drift survivors — Will the Switch 2 spare us from that nightmare?
Well, hold onto your hats, because there’s a patent out there that suggests Nintendo is working on something big. This patent hints at some nifty joystick technology that might just make Joy-Con drift a thing of the past. Instead of the old physical contacts, this new joystick uses magnetic fields to work its magic.
