When Nintendo Switch was launched for the first time, the audience of the Games generally received it in a quite positive way. A few months later, however, the problems began to emerge with the players noticing that their analogous sticks of joy would occasionally move.
According to IGN, the company has followed in silence about the problem that potentially appears again in Nintendo Switch 2. At a round table of questions and answers, general manager of the Nintendo Technology Development Division and the senior director of his Department of Technology Development, Tetsuya Sasaki, spoke in detail about how the Joy-Con 2 controllers saw a great notice.
“As you have witnessed and felt, the new Joy-Con 2 controllers for Nintendo Switch 2 have been really designed from scratch, and have been designed to have a larger movement and also a softer movement,” Sasaki said. However, he did not say that anything about the drift of Stick would be a potential problem again.
Switch 2 producer, Kouichi Kawamoto, also talked about the next Nintendo Switch 2 Pro controller, emphasizing that they have become much more silent compared to the previous iteration of the Pro controller.
“In addition to the color, the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro controller may seem indistinguishable from the previous view controller, but it was also redesigned from scratch,” Kawamoto said during the questions and answers. “In particular, left and right control sticks are quieter and do not make noise, even when they move quickly to the edge. In addition, they slide very softly, so we have taken them to call them ‘soft raft sticks’.”
Sasaki also talked about the “soft glass sticks”, speaking about how there have been concerted efforts in Nintendo to design what could be considered the “pinnacle of all controllers.” However, if this ambition has developed in the way the company would wait, it will only be seen once the console comes out.
“As they call them ‘soft sliding sticks’, we made efforts to reduce the feeling of hitting when you lean them,” Sasaki said. “In fact, there has been a long -lasting project in Nintendo with the great ambition to develop the” pinnacle of all controllers “, and we have been investigating it a lot for a long time.”
Although we still do not know what type of technology is being used for analog sticks of the Switch 2, a 2023 patent application indicates that we could be seeing an important update in that regard. The patent described a technology that would somehow use a “magnetoreological fluid.”
The patent also indicates that the viscosity of this fluid can be changed depending on how the player uses the joystick. This could be a technology similar to what we see in the third -party controller with Joysticks of Hall effect, which use magnetic fields to detect the position of analog sticks.
The Nintendo Switch 2 will arrive at stores on June 5. The console will be launched along with enough games, including the title first. Mario de Mario Kart. There will also be a console package that includes a copy of Mario de Mario Kartwith a price of $ 499.99, while the base console itself will be priced at $ 449.99.
