One of the biggest issues with the original Nintendo Switch system was the infamous Joy-Con drift. VGC got to chat with a Nintendo representative to ask them some questions about the system and naturally they asked how the Japanese company plans to combat the drift and whether it will affect the new console. The Nintendo representative said that the control sticks for the Nintendo Switch 2 have been both redesigned and improved. It isn't clear whether they use hall effect sticks or not.
"The control sticks for joy-con 2 controllers have been redesigned and have improved in areas such as durability."

Donald Trump's changes to tariffs is seemingly going to affect the Nintendo Switch 2 pricing in the United States. Nintendo informed journalist Tamoor Hussain that the Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders, which were meant to kick off in the USA on Wednesday 9th April, will not happen on that date and will be announced at a later date. Presumably the Kyoto-based company is looking to see how much Trump's tariffs will affect pricing before committing to pre-orders, which would obviously have to include the system price. Pre-orders have already opened in Europe at a large number of retailers. Nintendo says that the launch date remains 5th June in the United States and the rest of the world.
Statement from Nintendo: Statement from Nintendo: Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will not start April 9, 2025 in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions. Nintendo will update timing at a later date. The launch date of June 5, 2025 is unchanged.

Former Nintendo PR managers Kit Ellis and Krysta Yang have said in a new video that Nintendo is facing a true crisis moment over the pricing of Nintendo Switch 2 games and the console in certain countries. They said that it was a deliberate omission from Nintendio not to reveal the console pricing in its presentation, leading fans to scramble online to find out how much the games and console cost. Yesterday, the Nintendo Treehouse stream chat was spammed by fans urging Nintendo to "drop the price." Ellis said "I don't want to blow things out of proportion, but this does feel like a true crisis moment for Nintendo."
