You’ll no doubt be aware of the ongoing Joy-Con drift issues, with a couple of cases recently being sent to arbitration. Bar quietly repairing people’s Joy-Con for free, Nintendo have so far failed to really address the issue.

In a recent Japanese investor’s Q&A, Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa has “apologized for the inconvenience” experienced by those who’ve suffered at the hands of the dreaded drift, though declined to comment further due to the ongoing class action lawsuit currently in progress in the US.

That’s one of the cases currently awaiting arbitration, so we’ll be sure to update you on the outcome once we hear any more. In the meantime, let us know what your experiences with Joy-Con Drift have been down in the comments.
