There is already so much technology in it that there is simply no room for a jack.

Do you have a link to your teardown of the pro controller?

You could probably get the whole Tegra chipset in there if you had to being a mobile chipset. 

Nintendo classic cost cutting I would of thought. Never let a useful feature get in the way of a 20c cost saving.

That's just mean anti Nintendo talk. There is just no way that Nintendo would omit such an important feature if it was physically possible.

Also that feature is so useless nobody uses it anyways. Good for Nintendo that they don't make the customer pay $30 just for a useless feature.

That is disappointing, that's probably the most useful addition to controllers this generation for me.

I'm tempted to make a "Switch has No Circle Button" thread. Or better yet, a "Switch is not a PS4/Xbox One" thread.

*And so, he did*

If you cared a lot about sound in video games, wouldn't you take a surround system over headphones?

Sure, hold on a sec while I connect the SPDIF, oh wait..

So, the controller is $10 more than the DS4 and XBO controllers, yet doesn't feature analog triggers or a headphone jack, one of which was standard last gen and the other a standard this gen? Nintendo truly are price gouging its loyal fanbase with the Switch.

But but but HD Rumble!
