Nintendo Switch Lite added to the Joy-Con drift lawsuit

Nintendo recently introduced Nintendo Switch Lite, a device designed specifically to play Nintendo Switch games in handheld mode. The Nintendo Switch Lite system is now available at a suggested retail price of $199.99 in three different colors: yellow, gray and turquoise. According to a teardown of the new system, the Switch Lite’s analog sticks appear to share the same exact design as the sticks found on Joy-Con controllers. A number of users are saying this triggers issues with drifting:

“I beat Link’s Awakening over the weekend on my original Switch Lite system, I had only put like 20 something hours on it, and it started to show joy-con drift,” wrote one player cited in the complaint, on Tuesday. “Why is this happening earlier on than with the earlier Switch?” Another user added: “I can’t believe it, my Nintendo Switch Lite is already drifting. I was playing BOTW and the camera kept moving without touching the analogue stick. I tried to calibrate and update the controllers but it was still the same.” Because of allegations like these, the Nintendo Switch Lite has been added to the Joy-Con drift lawsuit.
