I don't understand these prices. What is going on at Nintendo? Are they justifying the price that 2 Joy-Cons are 2 controllers, so it is $40/ea?

 

[thecouncil]

These folks have gotta be kidding me.

 

[Psychoward]

$70 for a controller? lol

$50 is already too steep for me and I only buy controllers if they're on discount

 

[Dancing Queen]

And they put so much emphasis on the multiplayer... lol

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Canadian prices jesus

100 dollars.

Ohh my fuck.

 

[Servbot24]

Oh, fuck off Nintendo.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

$80 and I don't even get the grip?

That is a complete and total goddamn joke.

 

[Movalpolos]

Fucking awful.

 

[Plywood]

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

How much space does it have?

 

[Kasper]

That's an insane price tag.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

Ah, now we know why they finally conceded on region locking. Having all of that on top of asking people to buy the same console again if they want to import stuff would've been disastrous.

 

[Ocelott]

They have lost their damn minds.

 

[linkandzelda]

WTF!?

And here I thought the Wii U, PS4 and X1 controllers were expensive.

Like, that is actually insane.

 

[HotHamBoy]

Do you guys remember when Nintendo used to be the affordable choice?

So much for kids playing Mario Kart together. That 2P price...

 

[Cmagus]

For Canada

Pro controller - $89.99
Joy Con - $99.99

 

[Trace]

I am out. $250 was looking pretty good. $300 + paid online + insane controller prices + jack shit in terms of games = LOL NO.

 

[freikugeln]

Time to get a third job

 

[RoKKeR]

Man, just saw the Joycons separately are $50? Holy fuck.

Not looking good.

 

[Vic]

This is crazy.

For Canada

Pro controller $90
Joy Con $100

We're fucked up in Canada.

 

[FireBeaver]

Dear god.

 

[Burai]

$90 for an HDMI passthrough, a fan and $5 worth of cables.

Seriously, fuck this shit.

 

[Yado]

Absolutely delusional. Are they really that arrogant/unaware?

 

[onemanasylum]

With that thin lineup this thing is dead.

 

[Tom Nook]

Nintendo wants that MONEY!

 

[zelas]

Wow!

This is shaping up to be the most wait and see/wait for a price drop(s) console ever.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

I'm a little confused. Does the included Joy-Con grip have charging functionality?

FAKE EDIT: Holy shit, I just realized the $50 Joy Con price is for literally one Joy Con.

 

[Da-Kid]

Looks like I'll be playing this shit alone unless a motherfucka got their own Switch.

 

[SRTtoZ]

So all of their money went towards the controller tech lol. Dayum this stinks.

 

[Cuburt]

accelerometers, gyroscopes, NFC, IR camera, HD rumble, rechargable batteries....sounds about right.

 

[thehillissilent]

I can wait for the Ambassador program.

So all of their money went towards the controller tech lol. Dayum this stinks.

Yup. They care more about the controllers than the rest of the hardware.

 

[Twenty7KVN]

So we have another wii-u situation here where the controller is driving up the price of the console.

 

[newtypepilot]

I'd like to see Nintendo fanboys defend these prices LOL

 

[Serenitynow]

To be fair, I feel like I need to feel HD rumble

 

[Smokey]

Have they learned nothing

 

[n0razi]

Absolutely delusional. Are they really that arrogant/unaware?

I think they know they have hardcore fans that will pay it so might as well wring them out

 

[Icolin]

For Canada

Pro controller $89.99
Joy Con $99.99

Pro controller + Console + Zelda (in Canada)= $570

Sorry, nope.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Oh the pro controller has HD Rumble, Motion Controls (Gyro, etc), and NFC Amiibo stuff.

that's why it costs effin 70 dollars.


eff....I don't need that, but it makes sense...well not for me.
"Take your game sessions up a notch with the Pro Controller. Includes motion controls, HD rumble, built-in amiibo functionality, and more."

 

[OldMan]

The price is right for the amount of features you're getting equipped with the controller. Question is, how often will you use them. For comparison I use my share and touch pad button on the DS4 ALL the time.

 

[Deleted member 752119]

Fucking crazy, and I had no qualms paying $150 for an Xbox Elite to use on my PC.

It's just a standard fucking controller, and a must if you want to use the "switch feature" to keep playing on the shitter or what not without fucking with detaching Joy Cons from the grip and attaching to the tablet.

FFS Nintendo. You're struggling for relevance in the gaming world outside of your fanboy legions and pricing shit like you have on top of the market arrogance.

 

[Derphoof]

Goddamn.

That HD Rumble better be insane.

Really hope it is.

 

[HotHamBoy]

So we have another wii-u situation here where the controller is driving up the price of the console.

They are going to fall on their faces when people see the price of accessories when browsing.

 

[darkwing]

$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.

what grip? 110? what

 

[Neuromancer]

I thought the Pro controller was going to be $50...

 

[Nialrot]

What happened to Nintendo...

$70 for a "pro" controller is not ok.

 

[finalflame]

I'd like to see Nintendo fanboys defend these prices LOL

Simple: I really don't care how much it costs.

100 dollars.

Ohh my fuck.

$100 for two.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

What the heck, hahaha.

 

[MadJackChurchill]

80 dollars to make your red/blue SKU not look terribad.

 

[Magnet_Man]

Eat my ass. Jesus Christ.

 

[Skatterd]

But it can feel like a glass of water tho

 

[LOLDSFAN]

That seems expensive.
