The Switch 2 trailer really lingers on those updated analog sticks – will the stick drift curse finally end?
All I'm ꦓsaying is I wouldn't give those sticks several close ups if I hadn't fixed the drꦚift issue

The reveal trailer for the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Switch 2 had a real focus on the new Joy-Con sticks, which hopefully means the original console's drift issues have beenﷺ fixed.
The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Switch 2 was officially revealed today after 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:months of leaks and rumors, and we got a really good look at the🅷 new hardware. The screen is bigger, the dock is smaller, and the aesthetic has bee𝓡n redesigned to a sleek black with some pops of color around the sticks. There's a lot of focus on the sticks, actually, and if I were Nintendo, I wouldn't highlight them unless I'd fixed the stick drift issues that plagued the original Switch.
The trailer zooms in on right stick and shows a pop of red coloring the base. We then get another similar shot of ಞthe left stick and its baby blue. They're lovely shots, incredibly smooth, which gives the impression they'll feel like bu💯tter to play on, too.
The stick drift issue got so bad that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo actually responded to complaints back ♈in 2019. "We are aware of recent reports that some Joy-Con controllers are 🔜not responding correctly," it stated at the time.

It doesn't seem the issue was every properly rectified, although you can try to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:fix stick drift yourself. I always used the Pro controller because I was a bit of a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Super Smash Bros. Ultimate try-hard in my uni days, but my PS5 DualSense has it, as does one of my Xbox controllers. Real 🌠fir🅰st-world problem.
So, the Switch 2 trailer showing off the new Joy-Consಌ and honing in on the sticks gives me some hope that the drift issue has been fixed. After all, why would the company want all our eyes on♛ a part of the hardware that many of us experienced faults with previously unless the underlying problem had been solved?
We also spotted a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:mꦿysterious new b💜utton on the right Joy-Con, just below the home button. It could be the rumored C button, but it's b🐟lank, and no one has any idea what it doe🎐s.
