Switch 2 Joy-Con Will Not Feature Hall Effect Sticks (www.nintendolife.com)

One of the biggest issues that's plagued the Nintendo Switch since its launch in 2017 is stick drift. In fact, Nintendo faced several lawsuits as a result of the issue, with an ex-repair supervisor previously stating that the workload to fix drifting Joy-Con was "very stressful".

Now, while we can acknowledge that Nintendo has undoubtedly been working hard behind the scenes to mitigate the issue for the upcoming Switch 2, we're nevertheless disheartened to confirm that the Joy-Con 2's joysticks will not be Hall Effect.

Console gaming is nuts to me, just a bottomless money pit

Exactly, People could use all that money and just get a computer

That’s what I did around 2012 and ditched consoles ever since and have no regrets. Gaming on a PC is just so much better in every fucking way

You spend 2k on the PC instead of 600 for the console, but you save all that by then not having to pay double for internet, 90 bucks for a game and whatever much the licenced peripherals cost

At the time I bought my Xbox Series X, an equivalent PC cost 3 times more in my country (India). Sure, i get the pros of owning a PC. But if you're someone like me who doesn't play more than 3-4 games (and almost always story driven single player ones) in a year and already has a laptop for work/personal use, buying a PC is just dumb.

The only people who should be buying a PC imo are

  1. Those who will use the powerful compute for purposes other than just gaming
  2. Those who buy a ton of games as games are typically cheaper on PC and they might end up spending less in the PC ecosystem despite the significant upfront costs
  3. People who want the best performance and have the money to spare.

Fuck Nintendo though. I will never buy anything they sell
