Well no pro controller for me that is crazy over priced.

 

[Pocks]

Considering the features of the controller, I don't mind these prices. Excited to get my hands on the Joy-Con with the wrist strap, or to hear from others that try them out over the next few days.

 

[BitStyle]

They have lost their marbles

 

[Version 3.0]

Damn. If they're going to gouge for accessories like that, the Switch should be $199.

 

[Immaculate]

$300 dollars

paid online

80 dollar controllers

they want this to fail lmao

 

[R0ckman]

What the hell is with these prices?

 

[Niks]

wtf are they thinking? seriously?

 

[Da-Kid]

Now hold up...
Wait a min......
You said...
What...?

 

[HotHamBoy]

In for a Switch, Pro controller, all the launch games, extra dock for work. Fuck yes.

Where do you work?

 

[EVA UNIT 01]

so before taxes im lookin at $430 for the switch zelda and a pro? fuck

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

70 bucks?

Still tempted but fuck, this thing is getting more expensive as the minutes go by.

 

[Twenty7KVN]

Come on Nintendo.

 

[Bullza2o]

So expensive...
But I'll probably get the pro controller anyway if I can't use my Wii U pro controller.

 

[Lo-Volt]

BOY BYE

 

[frankie_baby]

motion controls (and hd rumble) confirmed for the pro finally

 

[davidwhangchoi]

i'm out

 

[Will the Thrill]

Holy crap, this is it I'm waiting on this entire thing. No way they don't pirce drop stuff at some point within the next year.

 

[Kurdel]

This is some insane shit.

I am stunned.

 

[notaskwid]

Doomed

 

[jph139]

Oh ho ho, no, I don't think so. I was gonna pick up a pro controller but not at that price. I can live with the pack-ins, thanks.

 

[ipukespiders]

LOL! Nintendo can fuck right off.

 

[Trojita]

Crazy overpriced.

 

[Off-Kilter]

Wtf are they thinking at Nintendo HQ

Wtf are they smoking at Nintendo HQ

 

[TP]

Haha, Nintendo you're killing me

you're really killing me

 

[Omadahl]

Where do you work?

Fort Knox. He owns it.

 

[Neoxon]

Is Nintendo insane!?!?

 

[Moltenix]

So much for having multiple docks in the house...

 

[BTA]

...the fuck are they doing? Particularly with the dock. No way that costs $90 to make, right? This just seems like a bad move.

 

[Ragnar Blackmane]

What, the DOCK out of all things is $90? The glorified loading station that only serves as a HDMI converter for your TV? That's worth $30 maximum and even that would be a stretch. That's almost the same as pricing an AC Adapter at $20.

I mean the WiiU tablet controller was ~110-120 if you wanted a replacement (at least on ebay), but that thing at least had a screen and the tech in it to somewhat explain and justify the price. A working 2. Joycon controller is the same price without that.

And the pro controller... 40% more expensive than the competition is a bold move, especially if they don't have a real controller included with the console in the first place.

Well, guess Nintendo's console business is going out with a bang, not a whimper. Retailers better reserve a lot of store space for a long time

 

[Irishonion]

That pro controller doesn't even look as nice as the wii u ones.

 

[Namikaze]

I don't get it. $300 for the console, expensive accessories, and paid online? Nintendo has to know this is a bad idea.

 

[facetheslayer92]

This has to be a dream

 

[VendettaRed07]

HD rumble or whatever features they packed into these things were 100% not worth it.

 

[True Fire]

70 dollars USD is like 90-100 dollars CAD. This shit is not affordable.

 

[Jawbreaker]

One can only laugh.

 

[bachikarn]

Obviously a bunch of hip millennials are going to pay 80 fucking bucks for a joy con

 

[finalflame]

Where do you work?

Very large tech company in Silicon Valley.

 

[Tom Nook]

Wtf?

 

[mellow]

madness

 

[BRocknRolla]

Those are pricey. Don't see myself picking them up. Glad co-op is available in the box with both joycons.

 

[MADGAME]

I couldn't imagine paying that much for one, even if they made one that fit a normal sized human and.

 

[KazenY2J]

LOLNINTENDO

 

[FinalStageBoss]

damn

 

[Bii]

so before taxes im lookin at $430 for the switch zelda and a pro? fuck

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

 

[Niks]

Considering the features of the controller, I don't mind these prices. Excited to get my hands on the Joy-Con with the wrist strap, or to hear from others that try them out over the next few days.

Im sorry, what features? HD rumble?

 

[RootCause]

It went full Vita. :/

Man Im not getting an extra remote for a launch system.

 

[Uno Venova]

nigga hwhat

 

[GabeTheGrouch76]

I could buy the argument of a set of two Joy Con controllers being $80, but a $70 Pro Controller?

Yeah, no thanks. Nintendo has completely gone off the rails.

 

[Strike]

Damn dude. I thought controllers were already expensive as it is.

 

[outunderthestars]

$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.

Holy fucking shit. They have lost their damn minds.
