The failures that sometimes bother users so much will continue to be suffered, or at least that is what a Nintendo manager says.
There are parts and components that are prone to failure and in the Nintendo Switch we find a good example. Since its launch it has been observed that on occasions its small command it seems to work alone, something that users hope to be solved in the future.
In Hobby Consolas they detected this usual problem with the Switch that achieves that I know “generates a false sensation of movement that in games means that the characters move on their own without the player being able to do anything “. Although we publish how the handyman can fix it, a response from the manufacturer has always been expected.
Now that the Nintendo Switch has made the leap and includes an OLED screen and headphones can be connected via Bluetooth, there was also talk of a movement to solve this failure, but it seems that it will not be the case.
As published in The Verge, in a meeting with the company, Ko Shiota, an executive in Nintendo’s Technology Development division, stated that these problems will continue to be present because Joy-Con will always wear out over time.
He has also commented that the controls included in the 2019 Switch Lite are not the same as those of the 2017 version because they are always improving their products, but that deterioration is uncontrollable.
At Nintendo it was reported that “The parts of the analog sticks have been continuously improved since launch and we are still working on improvements”, But Shiota has also stated that wear is normal, just like car wheels, no matter how good they are.
The message that can be extracted is that yes, they are improving, but also it is inevitable that they continue to fail over time, and the user must assume it.
