The joy-cons of Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite could prove to be a huge update for players. Since the Switch was introduced in 2017, it has received almost universal acclaim. However, it also had a big issue after the launch and that Joy-Con is flowing. Stick drift issues are not specific to the Nintendo Switch. PS4 and Xbox One controllers also suffer from this mechanical failure, and even PS5 and Xbox Series X controllers are unlikely to avoid the most inevitable problem. However, while stick-drift is becoming a problem for every hardware build in gaming, it is worse on the switch than other platforms. Not only do issues often arise very quickly, but they are also more serious.
Yet, Nintendo had to pay with a lot of different lawsuits for this issue, many of which are still ongoing. And in Europe, the lawsuit is heating up. An alliance of nine different European consumer rights groups has been formed and is investigating the issue.
The Dutch Consumers Association announced this week that it was coming together with Italy, France and several other consumer rights groups to monitor the situation, the VGC noted. And according to these various groups, switch owners are relaying issues with joy-con controllers.
“We’re making the call because we’re getting indications that the switch won’t work as long as customers expect it to,” said Sandra Molenar, director of the association. I additionally, the options for upgrading the console are limited, forcing customers to make expensive changes. We use the answers to determine what the next steps are. “
The Dutch Consumers Association has noted that if a solution does not arise, it is prepared to take the matter to court with other consumer rights groups on its side.
In the United States, Nintendo has been on the wrong end of some class-action lawsuits, however, this has not improved. The company has started offering refunds instead of correcting them for defective controllers, but in all of these claims its response has been limited. However, the situation is now escalating in Europe, and it will soon be difficult for him to ignore much like this.
Nintendo has noted in the past that it cannot comment much on the subject due to all the lawsuits involved, but has suggested that it is a non-issue, which naturally annoys many owners of the otherwise problem-free part of the hardware.
