They probably assumed most people would not need to buy one right away because the system comes with "two controllers". Just realized we have been hoping for a console that packs-in two controllers for a long while, and the Switch finally -technically- delivers.

Hey, screw this poll. Some of us can't even get our hands on the things, let alone justify the price. It is interesting to hear all of your opinions, though. I was very enamored with the Wii U Pro Controller, so to hear that this is even better is surprising.

There's an option for that.

But if you NEED to be difficult, Khush added one.

On subject, I finally had to plug my controller in after about two weeks. The battery is STRONG

I would love to see if someone had the controllers an evolution of controllers photo.

I chose the "too expensive" option, because it was the cost of the pro controller that made the Switch a wait-to-buy for me. I'm very excited by the Switch and will almost certainly own one at some point. However, I already own a 3DS with hundreds of hours of un-played games. The main justification for buying a Switch now would be the on-tv play, and not having a pro-controller is a non-starter for me in that regard. $300 was probably the ceiling I could justify, especially since I will need to factor in a very large sim card too. $400 and it starts competing with purchases like a PC or flights to Europe or South America.

I had something odd happen to my pro controller that made me return it. It is hard to explain but the left joystick got loose all of a sudden and felt like it was catching/grinding when I pushed it up near the top and moved it left or right. I'll get another when they are back in stock, which I hope is soon since I want to see if Nintendo can repair the joycons which have given me sync issues on multiple occasions.

They are available on amazon with prime @ MSRP, but they are back ordered until April 15th now. I'm getting one on the 10th through them. So glad they went and did this method, as it combats both scalpers (who would pay $100 for a controller?!?) and all of the false sellers offering it for $20-$60 and not shipping so they can steal your information.

Ended up finding one at the local Walmart (last one). Good thing too because the left joycon is having major sync issues and has clearly gotten worse since launch, it was to the point where pushing the joystick would barely register. So looks like we'll be sending the joycons to Nintendo which I've heard will fix or replace them (might as well get the right one replaced just in case).

I think I heard somewhere Nintendo would fix the issue for free.

Stratos · « **Reply #44 on:** April 02, 2017, 02:02:39 PM »

Yes, they will fix them. It was a manufacturing issue with one factory, and they have fixed it for future releases.

Hahah! Joke's on you! It's only $90!

It just becomes $100 when you include sales tax.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #46 on:** April 04, 2017, 08:55:36 PM »

Called NIntendo and have both my joycons set up for repair/replacement. Nintendo of America's phone customer service is so friendly and helpful.

Im very happy with my Pro Controller. Its so much better than using the Joy-Con grip.

Oedo, I know your pain. Its $100 in Australia too. Im pretty sure I got mine for $89 though

I can take the joycon grip or leave it, gotten use to it overall but yeah the Pro Controller is the superior controller, it may even be my favorite controller out of all 3 consoles, it is so comfortable.

Pro controller from Amazon arrived today! So I'll be trying it out this weekend, hopefully.
