You get nickle and dimed with all kinds of accessories. Once upon a time consoles came with two controllers, so you could have local multiplayer right out of the box. If you want to be fair, you'll have to give Switch a plus point for being multiplayer-ready. Then you hand out a minus point for the grip that doesn't charge the controllers. Not bad. |
That comes out as apologetic. Don't you think?
And my position about the Switch isn't that it's doing everything wrong. The concept for the Joy-Con is great. Cool for the multiplayer games with simpler controls. The portable/home console concept is great. It's the most awesome handheld console ever for sure. The console's form-factor is great and it's the best looking one Nintendo's ever designed.
That doesn't change any of the negatives. That doesn't change the fact that Nintendo is being greedy and should have included the usb port on every single grip that comes out of their production plants.
The only argument that makes sense to counter this is the battery life. But some people may prefer leaving the Joy-Con in the grip, as a "complete" controller, at all time. It's simply "peculiar" that Nintendo went out of their way to produce two versions of the grip, and left the one with the consumer-friendly feature as an "optional" purchase.
