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.

Nintendo could charge $600 for the console and it would still be excused, with "$600 is worth it to play the Wii U Zelda but in slightly better conditions".
Of course being unable to charge while playing is unacceptable in 2017. I already had this issue once, with my Wiimote and the rechargeable battery I had, and it's awful not being able to play when you have time because you forgot to charge it beforehand.
But hey, like when you were not supposed to be able to play the Xbox One when not connected to Internet once a day, it's the consumer's fault for not preparing his gaming sessions properly, right?
