IGN of the game media said, 'Joy-Con is nice to look at, generally comfortable to use, and attractive to realize Nintendo Switch's clever attempt to combine both mobile and stationary games into one. While praising the Nintendo Switch, 'it is very disappointing that the Joy-Con drift exists.'
In case of Joy-Con drift, users are advised to update the system version of their Nintendo Switch to the latest and follow the Q & A provided by Nintendo. If the joystick is still entered without permission, you must either request an official Nintendo repair request or understand that it is out of warranty and repair it at your own risk.

Nintendo offers free repairs for Joy-Con drift in some areas. However, even if it is free of charge, it is troublesome to request repairs, ship the Joy-Con with the defect, and wait several weeks until the repair is completed. If you do not have a controller other than the Joy-Con attached to the Nintendo Switch, you will not be able to play the game if you send out the Joy-Con for repair. Furthermore, due to the influence of the new coronavirus, as of May 2020, Nintendo has been flooded with repair requests, so it is said that it will take longer than usual (10 to 14 days) to return repaired items.
IGN pointed out that the real problem with Joy-Con Drift is that 'three years have passed since Nintendo launched Nintendo Switch, we still haven't found an appropriate solution.' Nintendo has been plagued by Joy-Con drift for a long time since the Nintendo Switch was released in March 2017, but defects still remain. IGN asked, 'Why is this bug still there? Why isn't the defect causing Joy-Con drift fixed at the manufacturing level? What's even worse is why (after Joy-Con drift was discovered, Is it the same problem with Nintendo Switch Lite (which was released)? ' In addition, when Joy-Con drift occurs in Nintendo Switch Lite, it is necessary to send out the entire body for repair unlike Nintendo Switch.
In addition, Joy-Con has been reported to have a problem that the grip part for attaching it to the Nintendo Switch body wears and it is easy to come off, and the problem that Joy-Con wirelessly connected cannot be used . Nintendo says that the Joy-Con disconnection issue was a manufacturing defect that was resolved afterwards. However, IGN said, 'When I try to play a game with Joy-Con with the Nintendo Switch main body in the dock, sometimes it becomes disconnected. Such problems do not occur with other controllers such as Nintendo Switch Pro controller .' Pointed out.
IGN notes that an effective countermeasure against Joy-Con drift is to use a wealth of other controllers such as the Nintendo Switch Pro controller. Also, `` It is strange that users are not strongly demanding solutions for Joy-Con drift that continues for a long time, and if this happens on the PS5 or Xbox Series X controller, riots will occur on the road, '' he said. It also states that the difference in user population is one reason Nintendo leaves the problem alone.
In addition, IGN seems to have asked Nintendo about Joy-Con drift etc, but it seems that no comments were obtained.
