The Pro Controller is 40 hours and the joy cons are 20 hours.
All that stuff in it and it still makes a joke out of the battery life of the DS4 and XBO controllers.
What kind of batteries are in there?
If I recall, the Wii U Pro Controller had an OG 3DS battery in it, so maybe it's that.All that stuff in it and it still makes a joke out of the battery life of the DS4 and XBO controllers.

But asking $10 more is outrageous greed from Nintendo.
I don't mind the $10 more in concept. I just think first-party controllers are expensive in my eyes in general. DS4, XB1, Wii U Pro, Joycons, Switch Pro Contoller, etc. I never want to buy a third party controller, because I've been burned too much on them over the years, unless the third party controller is recommended heavily by multiple people.

Why would it not being ready until yesterday impact its readiness for launch?
Do we know if there will be 3rd party knockoffs of the pro controller at launch?
Impressions of the Joy Con grip seem universally positive, but I have some gigantic ass hands. I just want to hold the grip before deciding on a pro controller or not.

Who knows if the first-party real deal will be there at launch, even.
Already got one arriving March 5 with Puyo from amazon.co.jp
I'm glad someone here gets it. I've seen cell phones have approval less than a month before release.FFC certification for most devices happens only about 1-2 months before launch. This is completely normal.
Of course it's Nintendo's fault and not the FCC taking long.
That is the only explanation, despite it already being for sale in other territories. Over a month is not enough time to preorder. What a shitshow. etc. etc. Intentional scarcity solely to screw over customers and drive up demand for controllers.
For fuck's sake Nintendo.
So close now.The pro controller just showed up at amazon.ca but it's not available for pre-order yet. I guess it's starting to come out.

In my case, I'm gonna want one for Sonic Mania & USFII (unless Brook comes out with a PS4-to-Switch converter for my arcade stick before then for USFII). As for Smash 4, it'll likely work with the GameCube Adapter, so I can always just use that.I will play with the Joy-Cons for a while. No need to get a Pro controller now. Maybe by the time the Smash port comes out but for now, nah. Joy-Cons look comfortable enough for me and impressions of them are very positive.
It's amazing how much mileage Nintendo's getting out of the OG 3DS battery if it's indeed used in the Switch.
That's a 3DS Battery alright.

Awesome.

I preordered a pro from Amazon Japan and with shipping to my home in NYC, it came out to $5 less than the US MSRP, so I am good.
I'm holding off until a 2D platformer or something comes out that really needs a dpad. For everything else the Joycons + grip just seems the better deal.
But you know you willi can't pay $100 for a controller
i just can't
