I am not getting it day one 100%. 330eu just console. 89eu 2 more small controllers. 40eu for that dock to make a proper controller. 65eu one game that I don't even really want. So 500eu for proper setup for all 3 of us to play and with only 1 game. I am out. I am actually looking in to getting wii u ( again) better and have all those couch multiplayer games for 3-4 players. When monster hunter and fire emblem out i will look in to switch again.

By The Way, The Joy-Con Grip Bundled With Nintendo Switch Won't Charge Your Joy-Cons You'll need the "premium" version, of course Just when you thought the cost of owning a Switch couldn't get any higher, allow us to bring to your attention the fact that the Joy-Con grip that ships with the console doesn't actually charge your Joy-Cons when they're attached - you'll need to invest in a more advanced grip, which costs £27.99 in the UK. The grip which is bundled with the machine is simply a piece of plastic into which the two controllers slot. The premium model is made from a different plastic and has a USB port allowing you to charge the Joy-Cons. There are a set of lights on the underside which show how much charge they have left. If you don't have the premium grip and want to charge your Joy-Cons "out of the box", you'll have to have them connected to the Switch itself while it's docked. This means that potentially when you first get your Switch console, playing on the TV won't be an option as you'll have to dock the Switch (with Joy-Cons attached) to charge them fully. On the positive side, each Joy-Con has a 20 hour battery life so you shouldn't need to top them up a lot. It takes around 3 hours to charge a Joy-Con fully, according to Nintendo's Japanese site.

Star Lord wrote: » It does come with the console, but it's just a holder for them. There's a separately available one that charges the joy cons too. I think ShadowHearth was referring to buying a separate one, as he'd be buying additional joy cons too.

FAILSAFE 00 wrote: » Second, how about first. The pro controller should be boxed with the Switch since its being marketed as a home console/portable. Especially with its price.
Corholio wrote: » Which dock is the 40eu one? The charging one? The non-charging one comes with it to make a proper controller, the charging one isn't much of a problem at all unless you'll never, ever have it docked.
Digital Solitude wrote: » If the joycons have a 20hr battery life and take about 3 to charge, why the fuss with the Pro Controller? Just stick them back onto the Switch and let them charge when you're not playing surely? I don't know too many people who take 20hr gaming sessions
Andrew76 wrote: » Not sure there is a fuss over the Pro Controller (other than Failsafe thinking it should be included). I wouldn't have expected it to be included since you already get the Joy-Cons + grip and no other console comes with a second controller that I can remember. Speaking of controllers - was there not a mention ages ago that the Wii-U Pro Controller would be compatible? That might save folk a few quid if they want a standard controller (and a d-pad).

ShadowHearth wrote: » Not everyone, just me. Let's call a spade, a spade here. I just don't see how i personally can justify buying it for 500eu on a console which does not have a single game I want. If they would launch q brand new monster hunter game on launch i would be in smyths or gamestop shouting: shut up and take my money. It's my personal point of view, but if someone sees the game they really want to play and can afford to buy it, then please more power to them! I am haply for them! Technically you do get 2 controllers in console for 330eu, but those only good for mini games. I don't really think you will be name to properly play splatoon with just two joy-cons. That arms game looks pretty cool, but again, to play it with friend you need that proper 90eu second set of joy cons.
