Nintendo of Europe to pay 40m fine for Joy-Con drift issues
Nintendo of Europe has agreed to pay a €35 million fine after a French regulator found the company misled consumers about Joy-Con drift defects on the original Nintendo Switch controllers. The investigation revealed Nintendo was aware of the issues as early as 2018 but did not inform customers until 2020, leading to unnecessary controller purchases. Nintendo denies intentionally misleading consumers and states the settlement is an amicable resolution.
