Nintendo has faced a number of lawsuits over the past two years regarding Switch’s Joy-Con drift issue. Every few months, it looks like the world-famous game developer is left with another legal case to deal with. Now that we have entered 2021, if you thought this trend would finally end, you’d be wrong.
Another lawsuit against Nintendo was recently filed in Quebec, Canada, for what else, but Joy-Con drift issues. The case is being run by a regional law firm called Lambert Avocat, which represents a client who allegedly had drift issues with their Switch controllers dating from 2018. The lawsuit is specifically of the class action type and Lambert is said to have ” be looking for “compensation for all Quebec consumers who have purchased Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite game consoles, as well as Joy-Con and Nintendo Switch Pro controllers”.
As to the other details of this case, Lambert says their client started experiencing drift issues with their Joy-Cons around 11 months after getting their Switch. At first they contacted Nintendo about the issue and ended up sending the controller in for repair. Within two months of the Joy-Con’s return, they then started having the same issue with their opposite handheld device. This drift then affected another pair of Joy-Cons which were purchased in addition to a also used Pro controller.
Lambert is researching all of the other Switch owners who have purchased the console since August 1, 2017 and also had these same issues to join the lawsuit. Right now, the case needs to be approved more by a judge before it can move forward, but there’s a good chance that will continue to gain traction.
If there are any major developments with this new lawsuit against Nintendo, we will let you know in the future. In the meantime, if you’d like to keep up with all of our upcoming coverage on the Switch, you can find it here.
