ROFL!

 

[EVA UNIT 01]

That's exactly what I was planning to get. Still gonna get it.

FUCK MY WALLET
im doin it too

 

[rekameohs]

Good lord

 

[Xenoblade]

Vote with your wallets people

 

[darklin0]

I can wait for the Ambassador program.



Yup. They care more about the controllers than the rest of the hardware.

.

Shit is overpriced.

 

[Prevolition]

What is happening....

How can they justify these prices for the dock and pro controller?

 

[Trojita]

The dock costs $90!?!? Are they out of their mind?

 

[MaximumSpider]

What the fuck is going on...?

 

[Realyn]

The prices alone are stupid.

The combination of no games to show for and those prices is ... amazing. No really. It's the big reveal hyperbole yabba dabba do, but they are trying to dethrone the E.T. video game here.

 

[disappeared]

For Canada

Pro controller - $89.99
Joy Con - $99.99

Fuck that.

I'm out.

 

[Kai Dracon]

accelerometers, gyroscopes, NFC, IR camera, HD rumble, rechargable batteries....sounds about right.

Yeah, this is the issue. There is a lot of hardware crammed into those little things.

Wireless first party game pads are already $60 bucks these days. An additional $20 because of two units sounds about right.

 

[Cuburt]

Looks like I'll be playing this shit alone unless a motherfucka got their own Switch.

It comes bundled with 2 Joycon though....

 

[TheFlow]

yo imagine the scalpers.

 

[jay]

They should have crammed more tech that will be barely used into the controllers to get them to an even hundred bucks.

 

[captmcblack]

Fuck out of here. They better make wiimotes compatible...Not paying $100 for a second set.

 

[Mooreberg]

Has the person making these decisions been under house arrest without internet access?

 

[Zombie James]

Canadian prices jesus

Fucking insanity.

 

[JaredLetoJoker]

What is going on with Nintendo? Are the serious?

 

[Alphahawk]

Occasionally, if you browse gaming forums long enough you'll hear "Why don't console controllers have force feedback) This is why.

This almost seems like a PSVita memory card type situation. Although, it's Nintendo so it won't be that bad.

It comes bundled with 2 Joycon though....

Two joycons, one grip. Essentially it comes with one controller.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

...good luck Nintendo

 

[trixx]

if this bich aint as powerful as the xbox 1 they gotta hold a massive L

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Canadian prices jesus

NOPE

What the fuck Nintendo can't you guys give us the same price as the states ;w;

 

[Razma1]

So Switch + Pro Control + Dock + Zelda is $520 before tax?.... Even no dock is still $430 Seems pretty expensive.

 

[SchrodingerC]

yo imagine the scalpers.

They'll sell the colored joycons for about the same price as the Switch.

 

[lenovox1]

The pro controller is $10 more than the ps4/xb1 controllers for some reason.. not sure. Maybe a bigger battery?

The pro controller has all of the functions the Joy-cons have. Gyros, NFC, 3D rumble, etc.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Sorry Nintendo but I'm broke...

 

[Shadow Broker]

A special kind of stupid.

 

[sappyday]

Wtf Nintendo like seriously wtf

 

[Deleted member 752119]

What happened to Nintendo...

$70 for a "pro" controller is not ok.

I think they just realized their whole base is raging fanboys so why not milk them for all their worth since the rest of gamers don't give a fuck about us.

 

[disappeared]

So Nintendo apparently doesn't want to sell to Canadian customers.

 

[Raw64life]

Welp, no second controller at launch for me. Hoping for Wii U Pro compatibility, but......yea.

 

[sixteen-bit]

That's expensive as hell.

 

[mrmickfran]

the fuck

 

[EatinOlives]

These prices are clownshoes.

Nintendo,

 

[Kneefoil]

I remember the Wii U Pro Controller being really expensive at one point. Not surprised in the least.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Canadian prices jesus

$64.99 for HALF a controller lol

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

yo imagine the scalpers.

Fuck them. Whatever keeps them busy enough so I can buy NES Mini.

 

[Marmaladefire]

Did I grow udders or? I really want something to like about this thing. Come on.

 

[Tom Nook]

I thought buying a new apple watch charger cable is expensive. Hahahahaha

 

[jjasso21]

Wow, that is expensive. The controllers better feel great.

 

[rekameohs]

$90 for the fucking docking station, are you shitting me?!

 

[MadJackChurchill]

So Switch + Pro Control + Dock + Zelda is $520 before tax?.... Even no dock is still $430 Seems pretty expensive.

Dock's included with the Switch. This is for a second dock.

 

[manzoman96]

$70-80 for a controller are they insane?

 

[Falchion]

Holy shit they are charging $70 for that?! Are they crazy?

 

[Obliterator]

Those prices are out of their damn mind.

And that Zelda was so fucking incredible I'l still probably buy a Switch and Pro controller Day 1

 

[Marvie_3]

Will wait for a sale on the pro controller.

 

[hatchx]

I mean, it's effectively like buying two more wii remotes.

I gotta say, I'll probably never buy another controller. If you want to play multiplayer, buy your own Switch - treat it like 3DS multiplayer.

 

[Timeaisis]

$80 is the price of two wiimotes (wall, back in the day)...joycons are basically the same, just with more functionality. That price doesn't surprise me.

$70 is way too much for Pro, I'll give you that.

 

[seantos]

$90 dollars canadian and $99 for the joycons is absolute insanity. This is stupid. This is a disaster.

 

[Guymelef]

What are they smoking?
