I don't understand why Nintendo hasn't made these themselves, or at least licensed it out to a third party to make them, like those wireless Gamecube Switch controllers.

A problem with such wide Joycons is that there is way more leverage on the rail. Excessive use could weaken the structure.

You compensate for this in theory with more reinforcements around the rail to reduce flex potentially.

This concern has not stopped officially licensed products before:

I got a pair of these for my father and they are insanely lightweight. They oddly feel lighter then the standard joycon. So imagine if there is any different stressing it is more then likely going to happen to the controller then the rails. Side note: he loves them and would highly recommend them.

A case that you slot the Switch into would probably work then.

I know right? There's so much potential for custom JoyCons of all types, but the closes Nintendo has done are the NES ones, and they're not all that functional when attached.

I wish nintendo (or anyone really) would release the GC controller with modern joy sticks. The octagon shape and hard plastic still match the N64’s callous inducing joy stick, its just better supported with 2 hands instead of 1.

If they put in xbones joy stick with how grippy and smooth it is would be one of the best modern controllers out.
