The Nintendo Switch 2 seems to be the worthy successor to the Switch. But it's obviously more accomplished technically, but also from an ergonomic point of view. Although it's larger than its predecessor, the console has a more "pleasant" and "intuitive" grip with an "almost disconcerting lightness", with Joy-Con 2s that "also gain a few centimeters and in gaming comfort at the same time" according to our Tiny_Ellie. On the other hand, there is one point that absolutely will not change and it risks posing a problem in the long term.
Should we fear the reliability of the Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con 2?
Since the presentation of the Nintendo Switch 2 and its first games, debates have been raging with pros and cons. During another interview conducted by NintendoLife with Nate Bihldorff, senior vice president of product development and publishing at Nintendo of America, news that may displease players was announced. The Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con 2 will not have so-called Hall effect sticks, which perhaps explains why the price of 89.99 euros has not skyrocketed, unlike that of games that are too expensive for a certain number of people.
" The Joy-Con 2 controllers were designed from scratch. They are not Hall effect sticks, but they offer a very good feeling" replied Nate Bihldorff, thus confusing the issue a little. Because if we do not doubt that the sticks of the Joy-Con 2 of the Nintendo Switch 2 are better, in particular already Because they are larger, the fact that they do not adopt Hall effect joysticks could be synonymous with the return of Joy-Con Drift for Switch controllers.
As a reminder, this is a malfunction that allows the character or the camera to move without any action on your part, leading to inaccuracy problems. This is what happens with basic console controllers that use potentiometers as a component. With Hall effect sticks, which rely on a magnetic system, there is no such problem in the short, medium and long term. This could therefore be very bad news for the Joy-Con 2 of the Nintendo Switch 2, whose operation could deteriorate over time. If you're not worried, and you're eagerly awaiting the console, Switch 2 pre-orders are open.
