I'm a hardware engineer, I have been for the past 15 years, any change in previously submitted hardware configuration has to go through FCC certification again, even if the change is minor, if it has anything to do with transmitted radio frequency, it has to go through cert, even if the power increase was minimal, it effects the previously certified range, and thus makes the current fcc certification invalid.

The testing checks that the operating range is within certified limits, any changes to the base configuration requires that these changes be certified again, even if it's a no-brainer that they would still be within regulation.

I couldnt help but lol.

So this means either Nintendo delays to fix the issue? or they ship as is and just ignore the problem for now?

Maybe later versions of the switch will come with better joy-cons?

No, that doesn't mean that. We don't know details about problem. Maybe those faulty Joy Cons are running at lower range than other Switch consoles and at lower range than for which Nintendo filed certification.
