Friendly reminder that "JoyCon Grip" and "JoyCon Charging Grip" arent the same thing

Friendly reminder that "JoyCon Grip" and "JoyCon Charging Grip" arent the same thing.

The Switch comes with the top one which is just a plastic shell.

Only the bottom one can be plugged into USB-C while playing and costs $30

and why would I want one that charges?
what extra benefits does it provide?

to continue playing when the batteries runs out

>we're living in a reality where one half of your controller can run out of juice

So you can charge your controller and keep playing on your TV?

This is getting needlessly complicated

>being this much of a gaming addict

Seek help.

Why can't they just sell a version that's a fucking box and a pro controller?

I don't want a stupid tablet, I just want to play F-zero and metroid on my TV

Hell this confused the shit out of me this morning when I preordered it from FUCKING GAMESTOP. The employee didn't even know what the difference was until we both got our phones out to look the shit up.

I originally got the charging dock but I honestly don't have room for yet another "dock" on my entertainment center. At least with this I can leave it plugged into the system like all my other controllers.

That's retarded. Why would anyone want the regular over the charging one?

See

Are the triggers analog or or they digital buttons AGAIN?

>I don't want a stupid tablet, I just want to play F-zero and metroid on my TV
Neither of those games are on the Switch though.

At least you're admitting you're a casual player ;^)

>trying this hard with low tier bait

here's your (you) you so desperately want i guess

wait so i have to put the controllers back on the console everytime I wanna charge em?

Digital of course
Don't worry though, the controllers have other revolutionary features such as HD Rumble ™

>buying nintendo stuff when intended audience is kids and queers

yes

HAHAHAHAHAHHAH

Fuck this. Im cancelling my pre order

NIntendo hates money. They have for years. Everything has to be a retarded gimmick. Eventually they are just going to Sega themselves at this rate. Probably with the Switch, given that the two most wanted games(Splatoon and Smash) are now going to require an online subscription to play.

well, there goes any chance of GameCube on the VC

Nintendo always does this.

I mean they fucking sold 3DS without a charging block.

You couldn't literally charge your fucking handheld without buying extra.

Nintendo is a fucking snake oil salesman. The worst kind.

RIP dream of GC games on e-shop, or any driving game having proper acceleration control

>I just want to play F-zero and metroid on my TV
>F-zero and metroid

user, let it go.

The charger thing in Europe had to do with dodging regulations on proprietary charging on mobile devices

HAHAHAHAHAHA

IT'S FUCKING OVER

Is it possible to just plug the controller in and keep playing?

They did that because of EU regulation.

XD SONYFAGS BTFO

No.

They charged the same amount for the console without the charger.

Stop making up stupid retarded excuses retard.

>I don't want a stupid tablet, I just want to play F-zero and metroid on my TV

Then I have the perfect console for you

yes, with the $30 joy con charging grip

Then why did the 3DS still cost more in EU?

- the charger?

Does Nintendo hate EU and doesn't want us to buy their shit?

Because what OP posted is why I won't buy a Switch.

They always try to rip off people with their console bundles.

>32 fucking gigs of space

FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU SO MUCH. I can't wait to see another "list of approved Micro SSDs that only work on Switch"

or

That you can only use Nintendo branded micro SSDs.

Much as this is indefensible, my main questions is whether the tablet with the joy-cons attached can charge in the dock, without the system being powered-on?

That said, even for Nintendo, with the Switch, they seem to be passing too much of the cost onto the consumer.

>CHARGER SOLD SEPARATE

IT'S 3DS ALL OVER AGAIN

Wait what?

Is this real?

You can't charge using USB-C without buying a peripheral?

What the fuck Nintendrones? Defend this!

Vinny, let it go.

What the fuck, if this optional how the fuck do we charge our controllers without this? They don't use AA battery right?

speaking of which I wonder how you charge the Pro Controller, I don't think they talked about it at all

>when I preordered it
Weak bait

No one is that stupid

with the screen, obviously.
when the screen charges, the joycons charge as well.
this applies to the screen being plugged into the dock, or plugged in via USB-c

>That you can only use Nintendo branded micro SSDs.

They showed a 256GB Samsung micro SD card during the stream. They're not proprietary.

Children who get the Switch are going to have way too much trouble keeping track of charging their joy cons

that's kind of cool actually, it's like Batman where the tank blows up but you can still make a getaway with just half of it

The joycons have to be slid into the tablet. Do we know if they can charge slid into the tablet while the tablet is undocked?

Either way this is extremely fucking jewish. Pretty much forced to buy a pro controller and switch on and off as they run out of battery.

The controllers charge when attached to the console.

Such a product would be pointless, just buy a PS4.

What?

Why is this even 2 separate things?

What the fuck is Nintendo thinking?

So this means the actual price of the console is 330 dollars? Why does Nintendo always pull shit like this that makes me just want to not bother.

Nope

pre-order cancelled

Neon or standard?

Reminder this could have been fixed if the pro controller was the standard controller. But no. NO. Nintendo just HAS to fucking "innovate." What the fuck is wrong with these braindead morons?

the N3DS's chargers were sold separately dumbass

They do as long as the console is docked. Did you even watch the fucking thing? Here's a quote from the official press release:

>Rechargeable: Joy-Con charge while attached to a docked Nintendo Switch system. They can also be charged using a Nintendo Switch charging grip accessory (sold separately).

Doesn't this mean you're unable to play at all if you need to charge them?

>lose charge
>literally can't play the system
What the fuck?

Yes, it's fucking dumb. The Switch can also be charged using a standard USB Type-C connector, but they didn't mention if the controllers also charge this way. I see no reason why they shouldn't but who knows.

>whats wrong with this huh? I thought this was ok playing with it you know with the controller.

TOO BAD THEYRE BUSY SHAKING ICE

Let's be real here. This was the last good Nintendo console that ever came out.

Do we even know how much the controllers' battery lasts?

initial estimates are 8 hours

>JoyCon Charging Grip
console lasts 2 hours at best

who knows about controllers but when they run out you have to just put them down and not play for 2 hours

yeah if you're retarded

this can't be real
no fucking way

>b-but nintendo certainly has my best interests at heart as a consuner
>there's no way it's all about how much money they can suck out of me

They're pretty greedy for a goy.

wait wait wait wait wait

that amazing "charge while you play" is only available

wait

wait

after you buy ANOTHER dock

for more money

wait

WAIT

WHEN YOU BUY ANOTHER DOCK, SEPARATE!?

WAIT!!!!

HOW IS THIS ALLOWED!!!!?

I have to deal with a coworker that actually believes that companies have morals.
The stupid faggot is literally going "lalalalalalala" to all this.

It's time to move on.

>Other consoles
>Controller's out of battery? Just plug it in with a USB cable, no problemo

>Other handheld systems
>System's out of battery? Just plug in the adapter and you're good to keep playing

>Switch
>Your controllers are out of battery? Whoops, hope you bought this 30 dollar grip that looks exactly like the pack-in one except it's actually useful!
>Don't worry, you can also charge them while the Switch is docked!
>Oh, what's that? You wanted to play your game while your controllers are charging? Well, just buy this seventy dollar Pro™ controller and you're back in business! :^)

well it's not like I wouldn't have bought the pro controller eventually

They have an ~20 hour battery life, so it shouldn't be a problem unless you forget to leave them charging.

You should just make monthly payments to Nintendo directly from your checking account, it would be easier

Source?

Do we have any solid proof that these are two different things? Seems like total hearsay at the moment.

Does the online subscription have a confirmed price?

Source?

here you go my goy

Yes, the press release:

>Rechargeable: Joy-Con charge while attached to a docked Nintendo Switch system. They can also be charged using a Nintendo Switch charging grip accessory (sold separately).

Just look at the picture for yourself. Top one has no USB port.

analog, ignore those fools.

Ignoring facts already Nintenyearold?

Wow. They actually are total jews.

Nintendead.

go back masturbating on maria chan sonygger

...

This is so fucking stupid.

Why can't companies just release fucking wuality product out the gate? Scared of charging an extra $10 for a piece of metal or two? Then get out of this fucking industry.

Jesus Christ this whole thing is making pine for a decent Steam machine.

this thing is going to be annoying as fuck to recharge after a few months if you take it out of the dock

>get into an autistic routine of charging tablet in the dock, taking joycons off, then putting the joycons back on the tablet to recharge, time it perfectly to make sure all 3 parts are charged for gaming on the go for at least 2 hours. Repeat every other day.

>stop playing for a few weeks
>can't adjust to your tri-charge routine you had down pat. Decide to leave the whole thing in the dock forever and buy a pro controller to use like a regular console. 'Fuck this shit. Now it's just a stupid underpowered regular console'.

this will happen. Screencap for 6 months from now.

>already defending it
wew
simply
wew

There's a good chance the nintendo switch AC adapter will recharge the controllers as well.

>525mAh battery
>about 20 hour life
>3.5 hours to to charge

not even the worst part of all of this

this picture basically describes how all women form their opinions in life.

Thanks.

>get into an autistic routine of charging tablet in the dock, taking joycons off, then putting the joycons back on the tablet to recharge, time it perfectly to make sure all 3 parts are charged for gaming on the go for at least 2 hours. Repeat every other day.

Or you could just charge the joycons and the tablet at the same time while not using them like a normal person.

What the fuck happened? The cmd prompt flashed after I clicked this image..?

xD
DON'T CLICK, IT MAKES MAYONNAISE FUMES?!?!

The Wii U tablet had a charge station too, and it sucked. But, it also had a regular cord. What was wrong with that?
Will the Switch feature such a thing? Just plug the joycons into the grip and plug the cord in? Can I do that?
