That dock is cool, too bad it comes out in a few months
Might be the dock to alleviate scratch gate

 

[LucidMomentum]

Getting that dock for sure.

 

[zelas]

Prices alone make them great alternatives

 

[TotalMackerel]

There are even more new Switch accessories at Nyko's website.

 

[Immaculate]

30 controller wow

 

[lamaroo]

Damn I thought maybe their was a sequel for Affordable Space Adventures when I saw the thread title.

 

[deadlast]

how many wired controllers can the switch handle?

 

[oatmeal]

Mini Dock looks great for me. Need one for living room.

 

[jts]

Will definitely grab a mini-dock. Always asked for something like that to take on the go.

However, with so many accessories, why not something like this for the Pro Controller yet? Come on.

 

[prateeko]

Lol at the rubber dock guards

 

[Irminsul]

It's me! TINY DOCK!

But it actually seems to be quite nice for when you're on the road. Might buy.

 

[katsubento]

That dock will be mine.

 

[Not]

Might spring for that power pack.

 

[Joqu]

Definitely interested in the mini dock, but I'm gonna wait for some impressions before I bite. That thing could turn out dangerously flimsy.

You didn't see the clip grip? It's not the pro controller, but that's exactly like what you posted. It's also capable of charging battery / storing carts and microSD cards.

 

[TheCongressman1]

I want the dock, but only if it comes with a power adapter.

 

[Marty Chinn]

It does!

 

[TheCongressman1]

It does!

I'm in!

Why are they using the picture of an Android phone in there?

[Fularu]

After Nyko killing consoles with their various "cooling" solutions I'm satying as far away from them as possible

At least I know Nintendo respects the USB-C standards of quality, really can't say as much about Nyko.

Design changed?

Seems more sturdy.

[foltzie1]

Will be interesting to see some of those in actual produced forms instead of renders, that control grip in particular is interesting.

 

[Steiner]

Why are they using the picture of an Android phone in there?

Because they're marketing this as a a grip that will be useful for the Nintendo online app interactivity. I guess if we can't plug our headsets into the controller this is the next best thing...

Also... Do the Joy-Con connect to phones? If so, then this is the official emulator grip.

the switch is x2 the weight. it will get uncomfortable fast.

 

[Fourth Storm]

The look isn't exactly ideal, but I'm intrigued by the Clip Grip.

 

[Deft Beck]

I like the idea of that charging case a lot. Though, I already have a pretty hefty battery and a case.

ugh, after Summer?

this would be perfect to throw into a travel bag for beach house weekends

 

[CielTynave]

So is there really much of a difference in what the Power Pak and Boost Pak do? Seems like they both serve to expand batterly life/charge the switch while in portable mode, but just attach to the console differently and the boost pak can stay attached and charge while docked too.

 

[kulapik]

So does the Docking Kit actually connect to the TV or is it just for charging?

 

[Marty Chinn]

Connects to the TV and includes AC adapter. Pretty much half the price except you lose the USB ports as a result.

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Wish I hadn't spent $70 on a pro controller and $80 on joycons. Would have bought some cheap accessories and been done with it since I'm only going to use them once in a while. That dock is pretty slick though and at half the price.

 

[CielTynave]

Okay, definitely think I'm gonna go with the Power pak when it comes out, I didn't notice that it had a reasonably better battery than the Boost pak.

 

[mrklaw]

If only the charge base had TV out it'd be perfect to charge a spare set of joycons

What's the best option for charging an extra pair of joycons and a pro controller? I have a USB cable for charging the pro controller, does the switch dock have enough USB ports to connect that 'charge block'?

This is the closest thing I've found.

https://utorcase.com

But yeah I'm hoping we get some pro controller mounts for the switch console.

 

[FunkyDealer]

I'm gonna wait and see if third-party docks will force Nintendo's hand in reducing the price for the official one.

 

[RBH]

Good stuff

 

[Lexxism]

Hmm. I'm definitely interested on this. Looking forward to reviews before buying one

 

[FaintDeftone]

It's a bummer that the dock doesn't have a USB 3.0 port on it. I hard wire my Switch when it's docked using an Ethernet adapter and not being able to use one is kind of a deal killer.

 

[Yoshimitsu126]

Does the Pro controller have gyro or hd rumble?

 

[Parshias7]

Does the Pro controller have gyro or hd rumble?

Nope. No NFC either.

 

[VeeP]

Really wish that controller was $40 and wirelsss. Oh well. Hopefully the pro controller drops in price when I pick up a Switch.

 

[Astral/H3X]

Was wondering why they would attach a phone to the controller grip... It's so you can use the Nintendo app without digging it out of your pocket. Not sure I'd be up for that, but I WOULD love the part where it carries your games in it, if the ergonomics haven't been fucked with too much.

 

[VICI0US]

how many wired controllers can the switch handle?

Official dock has 3 usb ports. Apparently the nyko dock has none which means their dock wont support their own controller oddly enough.

 

[MikeE21286]

Most of these look great

 

[Tom Nook]

The dock station is perfect.

 

[BuggyDClown]

No way in hell am I balancing my $300 console on that tiny dock.

Tried it at e3, its amazing. Super dope, and doesnt feel cheap or unstable.

 

[ChrisDM]

Looks a bit precarious but I'd be down for a cheap 2nd dock, especially one that doesn't come into contact with the screen.

First thought when I saw all of this. 3 accessories preordered. :] Thanks for the thread and heads up!
