Nintendo fined €35M in France over Switch controller defects

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Nintendo has agreed to pay a €35 million fine to French authorities to settle an investigation into defects with its Switch controllers. The penalty stems from a 2020 lawsuit filed by a French consumer group alleging that Nintendo knowingly concealed widespread "joy-con drift" issues, where the analog sticks would move erratically without user input. This settlement resolves claims that the company engaged in planned obsolescence by not addressing these known flaws. AI

    Nintendo fined approximately 270 million yuan in France due to Switch controller quality issues

    据法国24台8日报道，日本游戏公司任天堂已同意缴纳3500万欧元（约合2.7亿元人民币）罚款，了结法国监管部门针对其Switch手柄缺陷问题的调查。该案源于2020年，法国消费者权益团体发起诉讼，指控任天堂存在产品计划性淘汰问题，明知Switch原装Joy-Con手柄存在普遍的摇杆漂移故障，却刻意隐瞒产品缺陷，侵害了消费者合法权益。该故障具体表现为手柄摇杆无触碰时出现自动偏移、按键卡顿卡死等问题，严重影响设备正常使用。（财联社）
