After dealing with years of widespread reports of “stick drift” on the original Switch Joy-Cons, Nintendo watchers have been hoping the Switch 2 would make use of magnetic Hall effect sensors that avoid most of the physical wear and tear that causes the problem. Now, though, a Nintendo executive has confirmed that the Joy-Cons on the new console won’t make use of the more reliable but more expensive technology.
“Well, the Joy-Con 2’s controllers have been designed from the ground up,” Nintendo of America Senior Vice President of Product Development & Publishing Nate Bihldorff told enthusiast site Nintendo Life in a recent interview. “They’re not Hall effect sticks, but they feel really good.”
The confirmation comes after Nintendo pointedly refused to offer details about the Switch 2’s joystick hardware at a roundtable Q&A session attended by Ars last week. When a reporter asked whether stick drift “is the sort of thing that has been improved with the Joy-Con 2 and the Pro Controller 2 as well,” Switch 2 Technical Director Tetsuya Sasaki responded (via a translator) that the “new Joy-Con 2 controllers have been designed from the ground up from scratch to have bigger movement, and also a lot smoother movement.”
