After years of insistence by users of the Nintendo Switch , finally the company has agreed to start selling the console’s controls, called Joy-Cons , separately, so it will be good for all those users who have suffered a mishap with their controller or, for some reason, they only need one.
This way, they will have an option to do it, instead of having to look for second-hand controls by sellers who have already met before in this situation and would have had to sell the command that was left loose.
As of November 9 , as announced by Nintendo, the blue and red Joy-Cons for the left and right sides respectively they can be purchased separately at a price of 39. 99 dollars, instead of having to buy a pack with both controls.
It is speculated that this movement would have to do with the demand that Nintendo has in hand for the Joy-Con Drift , a problem that mainly affects the analog joysticks of the left Joy-Con and that ends up being a serious problem when it comes to ensuring correct mobility in the console games, and that generally has no solution beyond replacing the controller.
