Nintendo claims they have created better and better handles to help avoid rocker drift issues on the Switch 2 and make the new console's eShop run smoother and easier to use.But as the Switch 2 is about to be released on June 5, the company's reply did not completely relieve people of concern.

In a roundtable media interview about the upcoming console, Nintendo Switch 2 producer Hiroichi Kawamoto was asked about the host's eShop-related questions, and he made it clear that using this digital store should be a great experience, just like on Wii consoles back then.

After participating in the roundtable media coverage, Kawamoto Hiroichi said: "Maybe this is a bit controversial, but in terms of applications on the Wii, I probably use the Wii shopping channel the most of all of them."

"So when it comes to eShop, I want to make sure it gives a smooth experience, the list scrolling doesn't stutter, it's very smooth, and the page loads quickly. These are all requests I made to the team in detail and a lot."

Switch 2's technical director Tetsu Sasaki also said that the team has made great efforts to "satisfied Mr. Kawamoto", including many people involved in host network services, server applications, software, etc.

This sounds great, and is a very necessary improvement over the older Switch.Browsing on the old Switch's eShop is as painful as a tooth extraction.The page loads for a long time, the menu is unresponsive, and the store is filled with a lot of junk content.While it sounds like you may still have to search for bad content when buying the game you like, at least on Switch 2, you can skip junk content that you don't have much interest.not bad.

Of course, the topic of rocker drift was also mentioned at this roundtable.Basically, since the first day of the Switch, the joystick of the Joy-Con handle has been plagued by drift problems, making it difficult to use the handle normally.This has brought high repair costs to Nintendo and damaged the reputation of the console.So when Nintendo was asked about this big question and whether the Switch 2 would avoid it, everyone really hoped to get a better answer.But we didn't get a satisfactory answer.

Sasaki, head of hardware design for the Switch 2, also said: "As you may have seen and felt, the new Joy-Con 2 handles for the Nintendo Switch 2 are indeed completely redesigned from scratch, and they are designed to enable larger and smoother operation."

So these handles are better and are completely new.This is very good.But this does not answer the key questions.You will feel that after experiencing the troubles caused by rocker drift throughout the entire life cycle of the Switch, the rocker drift problem should be a key issue that Nintendo focuses on on the next generation of consoles.This answer, combined with some patent information, seems to indicate that Nintendo is working to ensure that the Switch 2 won't have this problem again.But for the moment, we can only wait until the June Switch 2 releases to see if these new improved Joy-Con handles can avoid headache-inducing drift issues.
