In this week's episode we talk about YouTuber VK, who has seemingly found a way to permanently fix the drifting issues plaguing the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con for years. Though we cannot confirm whether or not this resolves the issue 100% completely, people have reported positive results. We also discuss the newly announced Switch Pro - I mean, Steam Deck from Valve. And finally, the biggest announcement of them all - Nickelodeon is making their own Smash Bros clone with all of their characters in it. Netflix's gaming strategies are briefly mentioned in this episode as well.

I really can’t wait until Nintendo decides to add its own official piece of paper but on a serious note how did their R&D department not figure this out after 4 years

They absolutely know the problem but why fix it when a certain percentage of people will just buy new ones.

Just to be perfectly clear, Kyle Massey is innocent until proven guilty.

Oh my God, the joycon fix really works and it's ridiculously simple
Why isn't this in the front page.

Not just that, VK accidentally proved that the joycon drift is intentional!
In the inner area of the joycon shell, the analog area has a deboss of 1mm the EXACT size he has to compensate to get rid of drift.

If people add this to ongoing drift lawsuits things are going to get really ugly for Ninty.

Steam deck and the joycon drift solution in the same week. Holy shit.
Nintendo suits must be pulling their hairs out.

Nope, I sHould be back later next week (probably)! I am keeping busy, but I'm eager to get back in to the swing of things. I was busy at moving, then I didn't have internet set up at my new place in time for last week's recording, and I was camping this weekend.

Who gave you internet again? We cut that for a reason thought it would take longer for you to get it installed

Don't forget the Nickelodeon Smash Bros clone

For anyone having trouble finding the video:


I was skeptical at first, until I saw the explanation at 7:31, where he goes into the problem and solution in detail. If it's correct then Nintendo really screwed this up: it's not even about wear and cheap components, just bad design...

Please stop using the adjective "permanent" in regards to the Joy-Con fix. Thanks.

 

[AsmodeusMac]

Just tried this on my Joy Con that had a NASTY drift. Piece of paper did NOT fix it...helped...but no fix. BUT!!!! I tried an old amazon gift card and it is like new!!!!! Many thanks! And it is easy. I did not remove any cables....just opened and moved them and the battery. AMAZING!!!

 

[Bladexdsl]

the only way to fix them joycons is..............don't use them get a pro controller instead

 

[AlanJohn]

Please stop using the adjective "permanent" in regards to the Joy-Con fix. Thanks.

There's a question mark after it, which makes it a question, not a statement.

Whats the problem with the word "permanent" in this regard?

Nintendo already has their own money that you can use if their eshop.
