Yep, that's what I thought... I still it's a non-issue because of the 20 hours long battery of the Joycon. 

It's  not a big deal, but also it's not a big deal as well to have it on the bundle. 

Sure, that would be better, can't deny it. I'm more worried about the handheld battery life, and if a portable battery is enough.

I guess it's not a big concern,  anyone who finish playing  games will just put them back on The Switch main hardware. But i guess it would have been better to have along the bundled, and you dont have to put it back on. and also  not that expensive to have it either. And also from here we can see how much the real price of Switch.

But i suspect they will fix this on next literation or next bundled, I hope so. 

Yes.But thats the situation that it would be a nice bonus, but totally unnecessary.

I don't know if it's unnecessary or not, but for me i would love to have one included it, or not at all (so i can buy separately and also hope to have cheaper price for The Switch) ) and also the price of the grip that can charge also quite expensive. It's unnecessary for the rest but is not difficult either to put on the bundled and also is good for people who dont like to detach and attach the controler again and again for just playing on consoles mode.  (just my opinion)

That's another concern, if the Joycone are charge it while  attache on the Switch , will the Joycon charging affecting  the battery life on The Switch ?

Nah, I'm sure the 2.5-6 hours refers to the main unit. Joy-cons have an independent battery. You have to be sure to have them properly charged. But that's not a problem. After I finish my play session, I'll stick them with the main unit in the dock and that's it.

What does the joy-con pack come with? Any grip? Or just the 2 controllers?

I dont know about that, but the Joycon charger are not include it on the Joy Con pack.

If a full charge for the joy-cons lasts 20 hours, it's a non-issue. For me anyways, there might be some who wanted a 30-hour charge for when they play beyond 24 hours.

It's still better then PS4 dualshock , considering how the Joycon have everything except the light bar and touch screen, it's still awesome , how can they manage to make it small while it last longer.

Some speed runs can be pretty long.
