Why is the dock so fucking expensive? There is nothing in it.

 

[eggandI]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

no way thats real

wat

 

[MaverickHunterX]

There goes me buying an extra controller...

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

This is why the Switch is so expensive. After they spent over 5 minutes explaining the controller technology, I figured that was what was driving their cost, not the hardware specs, and they intentionally made that decision.

Yep. There is a *lot* of shit in those little things.

 

[Living the Dream]

What the fuck

 

[Justice_Bolt]

They fucked this up. That's like 100$ in Canada.

 

[VendettaRed07]

Why the fuck is the pro controller that much

 

[Somnid]

They kinda packed everything into them though. Even the Pro Controller has NFC, HD rumble and motion controls. What's interesting is that the Right Joy-con is clearly much more expensive to manufacture, yet they probably eat that price to keep it the same.

 

[7DollarHagane]

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

 

[Incendiary]

And these will probably never be on sale, either. Geez.

At least they're selling multiple Joy-Cons, unlike the Wii U tablet.

 

[VanWinkle]

Worst reveal ever. Most deflated hype ever for me.

 

[vatstep]

Holy shit.

In the event that I buy one of these, I'd at least like confirmation that the pro controller can be used for all games.

 

[Cidd]

DOA, in a year with PS4 Pro and Scorpio Nintendo choose to go full retard....

 

[Wishmaster92]

Don't lose your joy cons? What a funny price tag

 

[trixx]

What the helll are they on?

 

[DeadlyVirus]

This can't be real

Wait, the dock doesn't come included?

 

[twentytwo22]

Holy fuck, for real?

 

[TuXx]

Must be the ice cubes

 

[QuantumBro]

I was a lot more excited for the switch before the conference.

$80 and it doesn't even come with a grip. What the fuck are they thinking.

 

[Anth0ny]

they're fucked.

 

[MulderYuffie]

wow ugh

 

[uncle_koploski]

yuck, that's very expensive.

 

[Prompto]

Lmao

Come on Nintendo

 

[bluecapsule]

$80 and it doesn't even come with the grip!!!!

$110 for the full controller!!!!

I can't believe I thought Nintendo was not going to be shitty this gen, and that they would have learned a lesson or two from the Wii U's failure.

 

[Calm Mind]

Fuck getting a second job? I might need a second mortgage.

 

[BackwardCap]

Controllers cost more than the games now. What world is this?

 

[Hoje0308]

Goodbye, Nintendo, you dumb fucks.

 

[fadedbones]

god have mercy

 

[IrishNinja]

wait 70 for the pro? more than game itself?!

whyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[galvatron]

Wow, back to N64 controller pricing...

 

[psyfi]

what the actual fuck

that really kills the happy multiplayer vibes this thing is supposed to invoke

 

[Tambini]

Why did they add a load of pretty useless shit on the joy cons if it hikes the price up so much..

 

[TheFlow]

DOA. how are they even advertising local multiplayer with this.

 

[Alphahawk]

If you look at the store, what you actually get for the price is just the two tablet pieces. You can't even buy a full controller.

Joy Cons=&80
Charging Station=$30
Actual price for the controller=$110 dollars.

This is ridiculous.

 

[Crooked16th]

How much will the Ethernet adapter cost ?

 

[MadraptorMan]

$70? What the fuck...

I hope I can use my Wii U pro controller but I'm assuming no..

 

[ArkkAngel007]

That's ridiculous when looking at the market.

 

[Jack The Nipper]

Why did anyone think this stuff would be Cheap?

 

[Mr. Smiley]

that's a bit much.

 

[RavageDark]

It's not that more expensive than an Xbox or PS4 controller.

 

[darkwing]

So,

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

whew lads

why would you need a memory card, it doesn't come with built-in storage?

 

[Kurdel]

Canadian prices jesus

 

[Wandering Robot]

The HELL

I get that there's something interesting machinery in there, but I'll just as well never buy another controller.

 

[Flame Lord]

You think HD Rumble grows on trees?

 

[Unknown One]

Got to bleed the Nintendo fans dry I guess.

 

[RootCause]

Okay, that's insane.

 

[Labombadog]

Fucking ridiculous. I really have nothing else to say.

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

That makes no sense.

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

How does it make no sense they are tiny, you put two together it's not the same as a regular controller.

 

[Persona7]

What the fuck am I reading lol

I knew these shitty joycons were going to be expensive but not that expensive jesus christ
