The noise from the Joy-Con dispute was big enough for the lawyers at Chimicles Schwartz Kriner & Donaldson-Smith to notice. It’s now at a point where the problem is too large to ignore. However, recently published articles on Kotaku and Polygon coupled with conversations on websites like Reddit and Twitter, have breathed new life into the issue. Entire websites now dedicate themselves to DIY fixes on the issue. Nintendo Switch owners have complained about “drift” for a while, leading to a subcommunity of drift-suffering Switch owners.

Drifting can make it so that while playing games like Super Mario Odyssey, Mario will start walking in a direction without the user pushing the left analog stick. This lawsuit comes as the most recent development in the case of Joy-Con drift, allegedly a hardware defect in which the controllers’ analog sticks register movement without being touched. As a result of that, and its prior research, the firm decided to open a case. Andrew Ferich, associate attorney at CSK&D, told Polygon that the firm was contacted by “over 5,500 consumers” within 24 hours with concerns over the quality of the product. Last Friday, the law firm Chimicles Schwartz Kriner & Donaldson-Smith filed a class-action lawsuit against Nintendo of America for claims related to a malfunction in Joy-Con controllers known as Joy-Con “drift.” The lawsuit follows a preliminary investigation opened by the firm on July 18 in which it solicited complaints online related to Joy-Con controllers.
