Although Nintendo shared a lot about the hardware for Nintendo Switch 2 on April 2 Nintendo Direct and the next TreeHouse, the company will still not share the exact operation of the second repetition of the orientation of the Joy-Con or Pro controller. Specifically, fans have wondered if the new analog bars will use Hall Effect technology, which has been rumored to be high and will help fight the drifting problems that damage the Switch’s controller.
When Polygon published this story, Nintendo Life has published confirmation from Nate BihLDorff, senior vice president of product development and published at Nintendo of America, that the Joy-Con 2 controller does not contain Hall effect sticks. Bihldorff will not say more and still have no information on the stick of the Switch 2 Pro controller. Nintendo confirmed the statement of Bihldorff with Polygon on Monday.
Nintendo hardware developers, typical in Nintendo Direct, was first asked this question at a major press conference with more than 100 stores on Wednesday, April 2.
As you may have witnessed and felt, the new Joy-Con 2 controller for Nintendo Switch 2 was designed from the beginning and they were designed to have larger motions and also a smoother motion, Tetsuya Sasaki, General Director of Nintendo’s hardware development department. He did not give further monitoring, only asked reporters to gather if they could feel the difference.
Polygon watched in an interview translated with Nintendo’s hardware group the next day, asking if Joy-Con used magnets, which is a major component in Hall Effect, so the sticks will wear less wear over time.
The fact that we also rebuilt those people from the beginning, Mr. Sas Sasaki repeated. We did not share the internal mechanisms of those control sticks and if I go into it, basically, it will share the entire detailed plan of the control bar. So it is a difficult question to answer.
VGC has a lightly The answer is better, but a question does not provide much clarity. The control bars for the Joy-Con 2 controller have been redesigned and improved in areas such as durability, a Nintendo spokesman told The Outlet.
But this is really a topic that players deserve to be answered. Polygon’s employees shared a lot of their own disappointment with Joy-Con’s drift, which often causes anything that is being controlled to drift to the left, even if no one touches the controller.
Hall effects need to control this problem, because they use magnets and magnetic fields to register inputs, instead of physical connections that may be worn out over time. .
And the joy of drifting has brought Nintendo a part of the PR black eye, as it has been affected by many collective lawsuits on this issue in the US, although all were rejected. It also made President Nintendo Shuntaro Furukawa apologize in a question and answer of shareholders for any trouble causing our customers.
We may not receive an answer about Joy-Con 2’s internal activity until after Switch 2 was launched on June 5 and everyone could start widely torn efforts.
Update: Nintendo Life reported that the Joy-Con 2 controller did not have the Hall effect control key. We have edited the story to include this.
