10 Worst Things That Nintendo Have Done

One of the finest features the Switch has to offer is the Joy-Cons. The controllers are detachable, wireless, and allow for motion-based gameplay. They can attach to the system, be played as a pair, or each Joy-Con can work as an individual controller.

Of course, we should've known it was too good to be true. Shortly after the Switch's release, Nintendo realised certain Joy-Cons suffered a error called "drift" where the analogue stick registers movements without being touched. 

Depending on the game, this made gameplay range from annoying to impossible. If the title in question requires pinpoint precision, what do you if your character or the cursor moves around on its own? The drift could get so bad, selecting options on the home menu screen became a task in itself.

And this isn't an uncommon problem. Up to 60% of Switch owners stated they've experienced drift. Worse still, this problem could occur in as little as 12 months. 

Joy-Cons break so regularly, you'd think Nintendo would lower the price. But even now, these flawed controllers can cost over $70, despite the fact there's a good chance they'll start to glitch within a year.

With that said, Nintendo could be forgiven if they remedied the issue. But after eight years, the drift hasn't gone away, which has led to legal disputes.

Nintendo are renowned for triple-checking and fine-tuning their hardware before release, so it's bewildering how this major bug escaped their attention nor were they able to fix it.
