The pro controller looks great.
The detachable controllers look like a total mess and, IMO, are a bad decision. I hope there will be a revision down the line that totally abandons that. I think Nintendo is wildly overestimating the "party on the go" appeal of the Switch. The guy on the plane in the video, why did he even detach the controllers? Why wouldn't you just keep them connected to the screen?
The joycon doesn't look comfortable to me, mainly because the analog stick and the button are directly above/below each other, how can my thumb move comfortably and quckly between buttons and analog with that setup. I think I'll be bring the pro controller everywhere and only use joycon for games that don't require second analog input like that single joycon arrangement.
In some pictures you can see shoulder/trigger buttons shaped similarly to the Wii U's, just much more scrunched together.
I saw a pic floating around confirming the second one, but it looked to me that the triggers were FUCCIN digital
can't confirm but I'll try to find the pic
Not as much as they will cramp up using those micro controllers.My hands are cramping up in feverish anticipation.
Seriously, can't wait to play that sucker, but as big handed guy this looks like it could hurt in "single con" configuration.
This should come with the package.Slightly better shot of it here...
At what cost though? How will the batteries be for each controller? Any wear and tear over time detaching and reattaching the controllers? We all know people will lose these things too.Different options, is that bad? It's not like they force you to play that way.
This should come with the package.
With more Joy Cons, or a Pro.so how do two people play dual analog games?
I only see one analog per joycon?

Who the hell is going to play a game using this tiny thing?

Can I just say I love the name Joy Con haha
Who the hell is going to play a game using this tiny thing?
And how, with half the buttons?
Who the hell has hands even small enough for it to be comfortable?
those offset analog sticks tho.
Im really confused about something - is Joy Con a sub brand of Switch or another company joining with Nintendo to make controllers?
Don't start that money machine again...Does it look the face plate on that new controller is removable?

Lol yea I could lose myself in the options. Wallet would hate me.Don't start that money machine again...
I've had to resist some many 3DS faceplates that I'd never use.
Nintendo is gonna pull it off. Get hype.

Anything less than 1080p in 2017 is unacceptable
The Wii U tablet is a sensor bar. Maybe this will be similar?Why no camera and sensor bar Nintendo? Is it because i'm a bad person? Don't let other pointer control fans suffer because of my sins!
According to Emily and Laura it's a share button.What is the fourth system button... maybe a share/screenshot button?
Right. I see this as the "Oops, suddenly we need twice as many controllers" option, that some games will be able to pull off a lot better than others.With more Joy Cons, or a Pro.
Most sideways wiimote games used d-pad, two face buttons on right, one face button on left, and B on the back. This has analog + four face buttons and two awkward shoulder buttons. A slight upgrade in functionality.dan2026 said:Who the hell is going to play a game using this tiny thing?

It also probably means more possible customization. I'm the type of guy who'd take apart wiimotes of different colors and put them back with buttons switched, or different fronts and backs. Here it seems likely that whenever they get around to releasing Switch outside the default color, you could mix things up pretty easily.AppleSeason said:What I am loving so far is that modular controllers = easy replacement
The fact that they think that is a viable option displays bad priorities.Who the hell is going to play a game using this tiny thing?

Good ergonomics being optional is bad.Business-wise for Nintendo and purchasing-wise for the general consumer it would be stupid. Why risk putting your console's price up by forcing players to own an entirely optional peripheral when it's highly unlikely that most Switch owners will even bother to pick a Pro controller up?
I like this a lot, I always got tired pretty quickly with DS and 3DS, allowing me to place the screen and play in a more relaxed position is a blessing!The pro controller looks great.

I hate analog sticks that are not on the same level. It's why I never play anything on Xbox.
Disappointing to see, maybe next time.

That "d-pad" is shit. Ugh that thing looks so fucking ugly and uncomfortable to hold.
I wont buy a switch if there is no option for a proper d-pad.
Also what if one of the Joy-Con's break? Will you have to pay 60$ to buy two to only replace that one side?
The pro controller looks great.
