When each joy-con last 20 hours, that is a non-issue.

So nintendo has those interested paying $30 more to buy a second grip that has what is basically a USB passthrough for power And thats not an issue?

It doesn't matter if the battery lasts 100hrs... its just stupid. Imagine I am playing on my TV with the grip, battery goes dead... so my only option would then be to stop playing on my TV and start playing in tablet mode and tethered to a USB cable for charging so I can charge the joycons?

When they could have just put a USB port on the grip too (this would have cost them no more than $1 to do).

smh.... I think i can see why nintendo keeps doing shit like this. 

NS tech guy : Ok, so thast the grip..... but wait we have to put in a USB C port in there so people can charge the joycons and game on the big screen at the same time.

NS Suit: Yh thats true, but fuck it.... make a seperate grip so they can buy that too. 

NS tech guy: great idea!! that would cost us all of $5, we can charge them $10 for the grip with the USB passthrough.

NS Suit: Errrr, lets just make it $30.

Nintendo Fan: Yup,  dont be stupid you are just hating on nintendo. If you want to charge the joycons just connect it to the console when its docked. Or just buy the charging grip if its that important to you, its only $30.

Another day, another obvious thing Nintendo should have done, but doesn't is excused.  My guess is if the online is just as poor as the Wii U's, but Nintendo decides to charge $50 for it, with nothing but NES games to give in return, it will be excused by the same people, as well.
