Chimicles, Schwartz Kriner & Donaldson-Smith, the lawfirm that opened a class action investigation over Nintendo's infamous Joy-Con drift, has recently sent emails asking for Nintendo Switch owners to send videos of their Joy-Con controllers drifting; all of this in order to gather more evidence for the case.

This information was shared on the r/NintendoSwitch subreddit by user r/mittenscone, but what's even more interesting is the fact that the email sent by Chimicles, Schwartz Kriner & Donaldson-Smith allegedly claims that Nintendo doesn't really consider the Joy-Con drift a problem.

"Thank you for contacting our law firm about the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Drift litigation," reads a segment of the email in question. "We are working on putting together a montage of video clips from Nintendo Switch owners such as yourself as a way to give voice to the joy-con drift issues you’ve experienced. This will be helpful to us in responding to Nintendo’s arguments about how this isn’t a real problem or hasn’t caused anyone any inconvenience."

Now, it is important to note that the email is alluding to what Nintendo's response could be, although this could also be interpreted as information that a Nintendo spokesperson could've shared with Chimicles, Schwartz Kriner & Donaldson-Smith in regards to the Joy-Con issue; unfortunately, the email doesn't specify which one it is.

In regards to the evidence Chimicles, Schwartz Kriner & Donaldson-Smith are looking to gather, the law firm expects users to record videos using their phones or any other type of camera; information that will be put together and made into a video that they plan to share with Nintendo's lawyers.

According to Chimicles, Schwartz Kriner & Donaldson-Smith, this evidence is already being collected, and those who wish to help by sending video evidence can do so by sending an email to [email protected] before Friday the 16th of October.

If it is true that Nintendo is downplaying the Joy-Con drift issue, this is really disappointing news for users who have experienced how annoying the problem is first hand. Nintendo has another lawsuit on their hands, after French association UFC-Que Choisir conducted a study that revealed the Kyoto-based company has been practicing planned obsolescence deliberately.
