What if you want a proper d-pad on your DualShock 4? What if you want symmetrical sticks on your XOne controller? What if you want dual analog on your 3DS? No product is going to make everyone happy.

This is an expensive hobby and all companies are finding ways to gouge us.

Want a pro controller for Switch? That'll be $70.

Want to play local mp on PS4? That'll be an extra $60.

Online multiplayer? Another $60.

Season pass? Tack on $30.

Collector's edition? Let's make it $120.

Want to play RE7 in VR? $400.

 

So why are we atracking or defending Nintendo over this? It's a company that's in the business of making money. Singling it out for "corporate greed" is pretty disingenuous considering how all publishers and manufacturers are doing the same thing.

You seem.. very confused. So lets try this again.

" If you don't want to spend $70 for a pro controller then use the two controllers packed in. Or spend $80 on two extra Joy-Con controllers."

That is not an option if you need a D-pad. You can't say "if you don't want it use something else".  The D-pad is a BASIC feature, One that has been on every controller (that i know of) since the original NES.

Specially when it comes to street fighter. I am still trying to find an article or a video of someone trying to play street fighter with a Joycon.

I don't know what to tell you, Bandorr. Use the analog stick, or the four buttons on the left side. If you need the d-pad so badly, suck it up and pay the $70. Or wait for a price drop.

As I said in my "confused" post, not every piece of tech will have everything you want. In some instances you'll have to settle for something less.
