💨 Abstract

The Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller and Joy-Cons lack analogue shoulder buttons, a feature Nintendo was considering but ultimately did not implement due to requests from "very fussy" first-party developers. The Switch 2's designers decided instant input was preferable over analogue input. Third-party developers would likely prefer analogue triggers for easier porting of games. The implication is that internal developers asked for digital shoulder buttons.
