As detailed in the court documents, the new case was filed in Seattle, Washington. On this occasion, the plaintiff is through the minor and his guardian.

As with other lawsuits, the couple claimed that Nintendo’s consoles were « defective », with characters and gameplay continuing to move around the screen without using a player..

“This defect significantly interferes with the gameplay and thus harms the basic functions of the Witch controller and Joy-Con,” stated the lawsuit.

Moreover, the plaintiff and his guardian sought assistance from a technical expert who evaluated the gamepad, who determined that the problem stemmed from « severe wear on the surface of the pads. ».

“As the steel brush inside the joystick moves back and forth, it rub the soft carbon material that the pad is made of, which changes its electrical resistance and leads to the phenomenon of drift.

“The difference in surface hardness between the steel brush and the carbon plate results in excessive wear residue that collects on the ends of the steel brush.. This transported debris aggravates the pad wear.

Initially, Nintendo was hit by a class action lawsuit in 2019 in connection with its Joy-Con drift. However, last month, the mother-and-son duo became the latest case addressing a legal issue with the Japanese gaming giant’s producer.

In October, Nintendo was reported to have claimed that Joy-Con drifting issues are not a « real problem. ».

In the new lawsuit, Nintendo is alleged to be more aware of the issues the game board faces.

« Despite its knowledge of the defect, Nintendo failed to disclose this information to consumers and routinely refused to repair the control arms without charging when a drift defect appeared, » the lawsuit states.

“Moreover, when it tries to repair (or replace) the Joy-Cons, it cannot successfully remove the defect or prevent it from reappearing..
