Neon yellow joycon + battery pack extended announced
- Thread starter EloquentM
- Start date
stoked to fall down the color variants rabbit hole that'll happen.
guessing it's a way to make them more comfortable for people with bigger hands with added functionality so it's worth the price

I'm curious if ARMs drains the joycon battery's faster with all the motion controls.

Why would anyone want the battery pack? Is 20 hours not long enough?

This is just jumping on the making money hand over fist for almost useless accessories.
It probably makes a really good grip tho.
Yeah bit strange, and gives the impression it's a problem.

Ive never consciously charged the Joy Con. Dont think I'll ever need the battery pack

I get probably 10 to 15 hours out of my Joycons. I'd definitely prefer the 80 hours (or more) that the Wii U Pro Controller gets.

Nothing stopping people from using rechargeable Eneloop AAs, right?
Yep, looks like a way to add girth and weight while also giving more battery. Win-win for people who want a more substantial controller.

As someone who dreads even touching the Switch hardware, the less I have to dock the joycons the better.
The Pro controller battery life cover all my needs.
I'm not sure about those extra power pack. It's better than nothing for those who needed more on the go, especially because you can't change the OEM main battery.
But it's still part of the usual bunch of crazy/dumb/overpriced Nintendo accessories.

Are we even sure that the Switch charges the controllers while in handheld?
I say it looks blue and black!

My blue joycons don't really look like the same color as the picture on the box, either. I'd assume the physical ones they showed were accurate.

Maybe ARMS is gonna really suck the battery since it was announced right after it.

If the battery packs aren't overly expensive (like more than $10 each), I might grab a pair if it makes the separate JoyCons more comfortable to hold.
It would be cool if in Handheld mode the Switch could detect the JoyCons extended battery and use them to support the main battery.
Not just batteries, but also larger and heavier joy cons. It's what I wanted while playing splatoon 2.
Yup, that's gotta be nice on the fly.
Agreed, we've seen a lot of people on gaf wishing for a more substantial and comfortable joycon. I think that's the draw here.

Thankfully they are dirt cheap, but come on Nintendo. You can't include the colored straps with the controllers?

Wait, it doesn't look like we can use it in portable mode.
Is the joycon grip thing separate? Or ir all one thing?

That's a good point too. If my joy-cons die mid-game and I don't have the charging grip, I'm pretty much SOL.
