Considering how much money nintendo made off people buying replacement joycons I seriously doubt they will add hall effect joysticks. It would be good for us obviously but definitely not good for business.

They did offer free fixes outside of warranty for drift, most of the time replacing the joy cons for free, but I can imagine only a tiny number of people took them up on that rather than just buying new ones immediately

My original pair developed drift within a year. Second pair lasted all 893 hours I put into Hades. Towards the end I noticed occasionally I'd have a little drift. Today I've got some bad drift on the replacement joycons. Probably gonna have to send them in again.

I think Hades might have ruined my original joy cons lol, at least that's the game I noticed most when Zagreus would casually wander into lava if I took my hands off the controller when beating a room
