If you own a Nintendo Switch, you’re likely all-too-familiar with Joy-Con drift. The issue, which most frequently affects the left Joy-Con’s analog stick, seems to eventually happen to most, if not all, of the itty-bitty detachable controllers with enough use (I’ve had two Joy-Cons fall victim to drift myself). Joy-Con drift is such a widespread issue it led to a class-action lawsuit back in 2019.

Despite growing discontent from Switch owners, Nintendo has mostly avoided acknowledging the Joy-Con drift problem. Sure, you can send your controllers to be fixed by Nintendo free of charge, but none of the company’s high-ranking figureheads has made a statement…until now. In a recent Japanese investors Q&A, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa finally apologized for the Joy-Con drift issue (thanks to the folks at Video Games Chronicle for the translation).
