Anger over Joy-Con drifting issues appears to have finally boiled over, with a US law firm reportedly preparing to file a class action lawsuit against Nintendo.

Details about this come straight from Chimicles, Schwartz Kriner & Donaldson-Smith – the firm currently looking into the possibility of a such a lawsuit. Here are some additional details from its website:

CSK&D is investigating a potential class action based upon reports that the Nintendo Joy-Con controller for their Nintendo Switch gaming console can experience joystick drift issues. Specifically, it is reported that the joystick on the Joy-Con will automatically register movement when the joystick is not being controlled and interfere with gameplay.

This obviously isn't the first time something like this has happened. Nintendo's legal section has had to deal with plenty of patent claims over the years. The firm currently making headlines is asking anyone experiencing Joy-Con drift issues to contact its attorneys, by filling out an online form.

Never had issue with the joystick on my joy-cons but if there is substance to the lawsuit, I wish plaintiffs best of luck.

Silly. Buy a pro controller like a normal gamer...

Can I get a free game?

Joy con drift is a real problem. Nintendo deserves this one.

I've had the problem since launch day. I bought my kids a Switch this past Christmas and they're complaining of the same issues. Plus countless other complaints I've heard personally of the same exact issue. It's not a coincidence at this point.

I can't wait for my $1 eShop credit in 5 years.

Same here.  We have two Pro Controllers and they have been brilliant.

FINALLY!!!
But I heard it only happens to the old joycons not the new ones?

This won't cause a terrible brand image backlash, and repairs or replacements won't cost too much, but Ninty would have better not cut too many corners, as shipping will probably cost it an order of magnitude more than repair costs themselves.
