Joy-Con controllers have been the defining feature of the original Nintendo Switch, bringing a lot of flexibility and innovation to the gaming experience. However, they have been criticized for “drift” and durability concerns. Leaks suggest that Nintendo is addressing those problems with this new iteration. Early designs point to a sturdier build, possibly with improved materials that enhance durability.
That is certainly welcome, especially by gamers who discovered that the original Joy-Cons were quite uncomfortable after some time. Another concept that is used to do rounds among popular rumors is modular components, whereby users will be able to customize controllers to fit their tastes and preferences.
