It’ll be interesting to see if Nintendo follow the same course of action outside of Japan. Yeah nothing has been declared about that yet/

Many people are still experiencing ‘Joy-Con drift’ with Nintendo reportedly stating that it doesn’t think it’s a widespread problem. Hopefully Nintendo will be looking into ways to remedy the issue that arguably a lot of consumers are experiencing.
