One of the biggest unresolved issues to emerge from the recent Nintendo Switch 2 launch event has been cleared up, though the matter of Switch accessory compatibility isn’t totally straightforward. It felt slightly odd that Nintendo didn’t give even a cursory mention to the matter of original Switch accessory compatibility during yesterday’s lengthy Switch 2 Direct event.

After several days of not providing a direct answer about the technology used in the Switch 2’s Joy-Cons, Nintendo has finally confirmed that the new console’s controllers do not employ anti-drift Hall effect joysticks.
