Assuming no one's lying, there could have been a batch of bad parts that made it into the early production joycons that were sent out to the journos. The real question is if these defective parts are widespread or not.

There's numerous scenarios that can happen
Pretending like it's all a conspiracy isn't going to make it go away.
If there is an issue, they should be called out on it as soon as possible so that they [Nintendo] can get to work on a fix as soon as possible.
Brayden Jenkins
You know it's just shitposting right? If someone were to say "The Switch now 35 cents" there would still be daily threads on how expensive it is.
Nathan Howard
Or it could be click bait like people complaining that they bricked their wiiu because they unplugged it while it was installing an update. Do not trust journalists or anyone else trying to profit off you.
literally the only time I heard the "issue" come up before now.
Elijah Watson
Nintendo made them shit so they break faster after a year. It became pretty noticeable how shit these sensors actually are though. These motion controllers would break after any kid uses them after some time.
Andrew White
Just Shitendo cheating out on their cheap garbage chinkshit Fisher Price tablet to fuck their fans, nothing new, the entire tablet is a cheap piece of chink shit to begin with
Easton Sullivan
That's because every instance of it happening was when the joycon was more than 10 feet away, which they never were at the presentation
Nolan Price
Nintendo probably just didn't even bother testing it. The average Japanese home doesn't even have enough space to not be sitting right up on your console.
Evan Peterson
Not really, gameexplain test was covering the whole joycon with the hand, something that then should happen when you are holding it sideways as 1 controller
Jordan Turner
Or the launch controller firmware is set to a lower power than what they were using and they tuned it too low.
They just have to turn it up in firmware.
Bentley Bell
>nintendo didnt bother to test >their products have always had hands down the less % of fails or issues Nah, their autism wont let em
Jaxon Foster
Thats a plausible scenario too, anyway less than 1 week, by tomorrow all shitpost will detour to the BotW preview
Christian Powell
that sounds pretty rational, the journo conspiracy doesn't make sense because GameXplain are massive Nintendo fanboys
i bet we'll see a UI update to go along with the firmware update letting people scale the joycon transmit power between what it is now and some higher default value, so people can pick longer battery life if they know they're going to be close to the Switch all the time
Benjamin Robinson
They have literally no reason to lie, though.
Unless you're suggesting they're in someone's pocket which is tinfoil hat-tier unless you have proof.
Juan Sullivan
The signal went out for GameXplain when he covered the joycon with his hands but at the demo events people were playing Arms just fine so I think you're right.
Blake Taylor
Apparently there were connectivity issues at the event, but just about every journalist chalked it up to their being 100000 switches present and didn't report on it.
Couple of reporter tweets have stated as much
Keep trying though, guys
Asher Gomez

Matthew Price
It's Americans and their burgerhands

Well this seems like a comfy thread, lets take a shit in it.
I have serious issues with the idea of it being a conspiracy myself, but I do feel like it's odd that we had people playing games like Arm's on demo units with zero issues, could be a bad batch like the op said.
Again, Not really believing it's a conspiracy unless that one channel had secretly got two sets of Joy cons to fake a connection issue.
Kids do have a unique ability to kill things, had a Wii sensor bar die after my at the time 3 year old poured dishsoap on it to "clean it"
Your boring, your boring me.
These are all great points and theories.
This is not a great theory

Most people say it has something to do with the distance between joycon and the switch. If it's too far away the problems are more significant. Usually you're directly infront of those things when you're at a booth.
Josiah Adams
That is possible, I mean people were not exactly sitting across the room from the damn thing.
Justin Hughes
>tfw I have to site 13 feet away from my tv
Aiden Cox
This is probably likely. Wonder if the Pro Controller may have this issue as well.
Kayden Jones
Anyone gonna pick up Snake Pass?
James Hall
Who are u quoting
Ian Campbell
If it were a signal problem would not the pro have the same issue??
