Well, joy-cons seems to be priced correctly. The HD rumble technology seems awesome.
But 90$ a dock???? no way

Worst news of the night. The HD rumble or whatever the hell must make those joy-cons incredibly expensive

I get the sense Nintendo is hedging against the possibility of low sales, so they need to have higher profit margins, thus higher prices all around.

They are high I agree, but you have to factor in inflation, along with the tech inside the controllers, the pro controller itself has a description that it has the NFC reader/writer, motion controls, HD rumble, and more (whatever that means lol). But yeah seems pretty expensive, especially that dock.

So add another 30% for Canadians. No way I pay 100$ for a controller! The dock seems to be fairly priced, but everything else is way overkill.

How is that a fair price? Does it makes toast or sumthin?

Yeah, those prices are awful.They need to carry a fuckton of tech inside it, but even then....

What the hell is wrong with Nintendo? I mean...really. What?

Well when people said `the Wii U tablet controller is making the console too expensive and dragging it down` Nintendo must have been like `it isn`t the expensive controllers fault, and we`re gonna prove you wrong next gen with another expensive controller!`

It wouldn't fly past them to think that way, lol.
