That's not the point. If you didn't charge it beforehand, you can't play, that's what's important here. 

Nope, I don't think so. If you criticize something, you should talk about the positives as well as the negatives.

Of course Nintendo is going for profits. They aren't going to repeat the stupidity of the Wii U where they sold the system at a loss and made a new controller that wasn't sold separately because it made no sense to sell it separately. Nintendo is telling you that the Joy-cons are awesome and they develop games that make you want to buy more Joy-cons. But those separate Joy-cons don't come with wrist straps that make them more ergonomic when held sideways, so you have to buy wrist straps separately.

A grip to charge Joy-cons is not an essential part of the system. People aren't forced into buying an additional one to have a complete system. If you don't like it, don't buy it. After all, you don't need it.

Because that way people have something that resembles the conventional dual analog controller. It isn't an essential part because one Joy-con in each hand works all the same, but Nintendo is putting a grip into the package anyway. Looks like they are generous.

Just put them in the Switch while its in the dock every time youre done playing. It might be a bit annoying, but I dont think its a big deal tbh.

That's exactly what I addressed in the rest of my previous comment. 

In order to get Nintendo 2 or 3 more dollars, you need to adapt the way you use your product and be careful of doing one more step everytime you use it. And if you don't carefully do this step everytime you play, you might not be able to play the next time. All of this for a couple of dollars, when all the competition does it, and even Nintendo makes other production lines for the real full product. 

It's bad design and the opposite of consumer friendly. As an engineer, it pains me to see such a wrong practice being defended, when it would be refused in a few minutes in 90% of workgroups (and should be in 100%). It's student's project level, when your teacher sets a maximum price, you can't respect that price, so you delete the first feature you find to decrease the cost and say "Oh, the customer will do what this feature should".

remember...... nothing gets excused at that price..... nothing.....

Well, it's necessary that you explain your situation when for the vast majority of people the obvious solution to this "problem" is to charge the Joy-cons while they are not playing the system. It's very easy to avoid paying an additional $30 for a different grip. It's really no hassle to avoid it.

LOL! Master of spin.

That doesn't change the fact they went out of their way to produce two different versions of that grip and chose to include the usb port-less one.

Excuse me? The only person acting like a  fool here is you... and not for suggesting that I am fool but for resoting to name calling when having a simple discussion. What are you? Seven?

Anyways, no, the dual shock doesn't have the same problem bacsue it has a damn USB port on the controller. I can just plug in the USB cable I have lying near my couch that I use to charge my phone to the controller if its running short on juice. 

This is a simple convenience issue. What kinda person goes around calling people fools simply cause they are stating an obvious fact. 

If it so foolish, then please tell us why nintendo put in the time and resources to make a seperate grip that allows this functionality and price it for $30. smh....I get you love nintendo, but come on.... this is taking it too far.

And i called it in my OP, nintendo fans default response to anyone calling out nintendo is to brand them as hating. 

Im sorry, but dont make yourself like one then.I am more entitled to say what I think about the persons opinion, especially when they compare me to a blind Nintendo fan in that little stupid analogy of yours.

Oh so the DS4 is superior because you can recharge it with an extra battery or extended cable that, surprise surprise, you need to buy separetely?Oh comon, you can do better than this.Not to mention that you need to be close to a power socket that as far as I know, its not always next to everyones coach, let alone within the reach of a charges cable.

The real problem here is that not only you are nitpicking, but you are complaining about an nonexistant issue.I mean, if the Switch came with 5 eextra games, a metal detector and a smartphone, it would be great, added value, but you need to see the cost of it.Yes, getting a battery inside the grip could cost only an extra 5 dollars(Im guessing, have no idea how much it costs), but its still an extra 5 dollars cost for Nintendo, an extra cost that is through unnecessary.

And lets do the math:lets assume that Nintendo sells all of its innitial shipment in 2 weeks.So thats 2 millions.Nintendo will be getting an extra 10 millions dollars extra on profits.How is that ignorable?They made a seperable grip just because of that, for people like you that think 20 hours of charge is somehow not good enough for one playthrough session in an item that holds long enough for 99% of the costumers.In another words, its a nice option, but an unnecessary one, and thus why they are selling separetely.

And you resorting to calling me a nintendo fan and dispensing it as mere blinding defending the company shows just how much thought you put into the matter.
