“Well, the Joy-Con 2’s controllers have been designed from the ground up,” said Nate Bihldorff, senior vice president of product development and publishing. “They’re not Hall Effect sticks, but they feel really good.”
To the 3-5 pain piggies somehow lurking this site still: Do. not. buy.
Hall effect sticks are only pennies more expensive. Console cost going up so much this go round could easily cover that.
I’ve long suspected this but this choice, together with Ns historically crappy joysticks is undeniable proof to me that the only reason they don’t use them is they want em worn out, to sell more joysticks to us.
