Everything seems to be charged at a premium with the Switch lol.

 

[Jake2by4]

Sounds DOA to me

 

[robotrock]

Nintendo is fucked

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Pro Controller Price is inexcusable, but I think the fact that it comes with "two Joycons" in the box technically goes a long way towards mitigating the $80 for two more

I mean the way they designed it can anybody praise them for adding two? They're needed to play not like the pro is included

 

[slightconfuse]

80$$ those things are so small

 

[PopcornMegaphone]

At this point I think they're interested in milking their core users and have given up on huge mainstream acceptance like the Wii.

 

[dmr87]

Good luck with that.

 

[Bsigg12]

I thought one joycon would be $15-20...

That makes no sense.

At the very least I was expecting $60 for a pair. $80 is kinda crazy

 

[Trace]

Jesus christ

 

[Art Teitlebaum]

Daaaamn. Insane.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

bwahahaha

 

[Chie Satonaka]

I'm guessing this is because of that HD Rumble tech, yeah?

 

[Permanently A]

paid online

$80 controllers

2 launch games

jesus

fuckin

christ

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

Add a $300 console and a $60 game to that and it can start to look pricey.

and an online subscription...

This is looking like a hard sell.

 

[FZZ]

Switch without joycons would be 219 brehs

 

[nekomix]

... That's a Falcon Punch in the nuts haha.

 

[Regiruler]

These things must be a lot more damn expensive than first thought.

 

[outunderthestars]

Holy shit that is expensive.

 

[Vandiger]

NO way...no fucking way. I'm done with you Nintendo

 

[jett]

At this point the Switch is asking to tank. Those prices are just mental.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

Lol so wait, you're potentially looking at $430 for a Switch, Zelda and a Pro Controller at launch. Christ on a bike.

 

[Penguin]

Sweet jeebsus at them prices.

 

[Revven]

It's the controllers that are making the base price of the system $300. Good fucking lord.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

The fuck?!

 

[-MD-]

You've got to be joking.

 

[Zee-Row]

Fuck that is expensive

 

[metalslimer]

Hahaha fuck you Nintendo

 

[FinKL]

For $80 you should be able to customize, that's WAY too much

 

[Mikey Jr.]

80 fucking dollars.

Yep.

 

[Champion]

They've lost their minds.

 

[Zaheer]

LOL, holy fuck!

 

[Metroidvania]

70 dollars for a pro controller?

They're out of their damn mind.

 

[SchrodingerC]

Better treat your joycons like glass, because you sure as hell don't want to replace them.

 

[foltzie1]

$90 for a dock (w/ Hdmi and AC adapter)

 

[Jigorath]

Jesus

 

[broncobuster]

Crazy prices. To get a full set of Joy-cons and charge grip is $110.

 

[GOOCHY]

I keep saying it but these guys have completely lost the plot. Expensive hardware, expensive controllers, showed basically zero of the online functionality. I don't know about all this.

 

[Suburban Thug]

This can't be real

 

[hughesta]

Pro Controller price is fucking RIDICULOUS. Absolute horseshit.

 

[CarbonFire]

Nintendo, you guys need to go third party already. You're BAD at this.

 

[olimpia84]

It's the HD rumble tax

 

[j0hnnix]

Nintendo = Apple

 

[Hidden One]

Nintendo is certainly in for a beating this holiday....

 

[kobu]

nah im good

 

[Omadahl]

This is insanity. Nintendo has lost their damn minds. I'll wait for a PS4 Pro price drop and skip this nonsense.

 

[Plywood]

So,

Switch $299
Pro controller $70
Zelda $60
Online sub for March $5
Memory card $30
Total $465

whew lads

 

[Papercuts]

Jesus fucking christ nintendo.

 

[Josh5890]

I am as much of a die hard Nintendo fan as there is and I am stunned right now on so many levels.

 

[malfcn]

That is.. steep.

 

[lt519]

$70 is mental.
