Nintendo Switch doesn't come with Joy-Con charging grip

>As far as we can tell by the specs provided, you cannot charge the Joy-Cons with the provided grip in the box. It’s in-fact literally a plastic shell that holds the Joy-Cons together. To charge them, you’ll need to either put them back onto the docked Switch tablet (which may be an issue if you’re playing on the TV), or you’ll need to pay $39.95 (placeholder pricer) for the Joy-Con Charging Grip which has a USB-C port.

Is this the first console ever that won't let you charge the controller while playing, until you buy another peripheral?

This is just sad.

xbox one comes with fucking double A batteries dipshit

l think switch is a complete disaster but this is a non issue

joycons last 20 hours, only autists would have a problem with it

>all these sonybronies bitching
Switch will still be better than PS4 because it has better games and you can use it as handheld unit.

Nintendo really is milking everybody for all they're worth on this go.

Sad to say it'll still sell almost as much as the Wii

>he doesnt plan to make a 24 hour switch handheld only twitch stream

Tommy Tippy Cow Nippy Milk Squeeze deluxe. Nah.

>awh shit I forgot to charge the controller last night. Guess I CAN'T PLAY

The joycons last 20 hours. They'll charge overnight while you leave them on the stand. What a complete non-issue.

Literally the neo-apple of video games.

>Aw shit I'm a dumbass who forgot to put the joycons back on their correct place on the console after gaming for 20 hours straight.

>Guess I gotta use the tablet if I wanna continue gaming or go do something else with my life for 3 and a half hours before I can play for another 20 hours.

>Man fuck nintento.

Except you can see on the box that it is the charging grip?

This argument can be used against any wireless peripheral ever, though.

On any other console you'd just plug in the standard cable you got for free with the console and keep playing while charging it. But in Nintendo land charging while playing is a $40 privilege.

>put the controller in the shell to play on tv
>turn it off and put the controller down like any normal person
>why aren't you constantly juggling joycons like a retard
who makes these shitty decisions

>Nintendo is going to charge 30 dollars for a USB-C A/C Adapter for the Switch
>You can get a USB-C cord and USB-A/C block for less than 15 dollars

What is the xbox 360 and the xbox one.

Nope.

Standard joycon grip is solid black, charger is transparent.

They want to make like 3x what they made from the Wii here.

>you probably have one sitting around your house somewhere

At least with those you can buy rechargable AAs and be fine, here you either buy the 30 grip or deal with awkwardly hooking the joycons up and putting the switch into the dock, ending your play session

Xbox 360 play and charge kit didn't come with the console

>Turn it off and put the controller down like any normal person
Normal people put their fucking controllers on charge after they get done playing them.

Anal people who actually know what the fuck they're doing with their controller batteries keep them charged them to 90% instead of 100 and THEN unplug them from the charging station/cable to get the best out of their battery life.

I was going to buy the console, but I can't see myself buying it because I will need over 100$ in greatly overpriced Nintendo kikery. An AC adapter, a charging grip and/or a pro controller, and a ethernet port. It's the jewest shit I've ever seen since paid mods.

What worries me the most is that the Joycons don't have leds on themselves, which means if you use them separately you never know their charge level.

Is there any news on the battery life of the pro controller?

To charge it do I have to buy the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller Dock that fits it and then a Nintendo Switch A/C Adapter to plug into both the Nintendo Switch Dock and Nintendo Switch Pro Controller Dock?

How do the joycons recieve power without metal contacts? does it use that mobile phone wireless charge technology?

I don't think we're going to see Wii U pro battery levels of 100+ hours, but probably around 20 if the game isn't heavy on HD rumble and gyro.

Did they confirm that the Pro controller has the HD rumble too?

and you can't charge the controller you have to dick around with the ice cube simulators like that isn't going to be annoying as shit
this thing is a piece of shit what is going on in the industry

>No more heroes 3 is probably going to utilize both to make you feel the recoil of the saber as it collides with shit
>Battery life will probably be like 4 hours
It'll be worth it desu

does the tablet have a fan?

The grips have LEDs on them, and come with the console. You should be able to check battery level on the console's UI but we're talking about Nintendo so maybe not.

Apparently 20 hours is the joycon battery life, so I hope the battery life is a good amount more than that.

I read something before that said the Pro Controller has an NFC reader, HD rumble, and gyroscope, and it seemed pretty official. That's all I can offer you right now though, user

What you see there is a removable rubber grip with the buttons

I wonder if Suda can implement the IR camera
>Flip off your enemies to geta power boost

When you round up like that, it invalidates any point you might have had, you disgusting fucking nigger.

It pisses me off too and of course I shelled out for one, because I don't like having to constantly drain my batteries, but it's 30+ tax

I know the grip has leds, but if you're using the joycons in as mini controllers or as wiimotes, you can't know their charge levels instantly.

>Dick around with the ice cube simultors
What are you on about? The Rumble stuff? Just schlide em' onto the tabbo when you're done ya dumbo.

I hope Suda goes bonkers with the gimmicks for NMH3.
One of NMH's best charms that was completely missing from the PS3 version was the speaker in the wii mote, especially during those phone calls.

It was a silly gimmick that no other game did, but it just felt neat.

>keep them charged them to 90% instead of 100 and THEN unplug them from the charging station/cable to get the best out of their battery life.
That thing has been disproved many times. It's perfectly safe to charge a modern controller to 100%

Why do you need an extra AC adapter?

When yoy have to start blaming the consumer to defend a company, you know that company fucked.

No no, like the individual grips that add wrist straps to the joycons. Those each have four LEDs. If you're using it as a wiimote or mini controller you might as well use those for better triggers/wrist strap and grip.

Oh you're right, I forgot about those.

You'll probably be able to see it on screen like on the Wii and Wii U.

I honestly don't get it.

I don't understand why you fucking idiots keep making the same goddamn threads about Nintendo garbage and being surprised that you're getting jewed hard.

This isn't fucking new. Did you honestly expect that the Switch wasn't going to require that you spend another $100 on bullshit peripherals that should have been there to begin with? It is a fucking CASH GRAVE by Nintendo and nothing more.

How fucking dense are you idiot Nintenyearolds to think that the company gives a single flying shit about your experience as a customer?

Fuck, man. For a bunch of know-it-all NEETS, you faggots are surprisingly stupid.

>b-but nintendo is my friend
>muh childhood

Its the people that brainlessly want to shit on nintendo for whatever reason that make these threads, not nintendo fans. You're very clearly trying to detract away from the fact that you yourself are brainlessly shitting on nintendo by saying "Why are you suprised by all this? This is the way it is that we've all agreed on right? Quit being astonished."

Nobodys suprised because theres nothing suprising about any of this. Nintendo fans know the joycons last 20 hours and this is a literal non-issue. Neck yourself you falming autist.

Wow, Jimmie, aren't you the smart one. While no company gives a shit about you personally, why should it, there's a standard set by other examples. When a company releases something worse than this standard the information about them being worse should be spread, so a consumer can make a rational purchase, because that is the only way to make them to conform to at least the standard with their future iterations of the product.

and it has fucking removable battery retard

youtube.com/watch?v=YgHNtzxO0y8

Dude I'm not going to pretend I'm superior, a huge chunk of my childhood belongs to Nintendo. NES, SNES, N64, and GameCube have claimed hundreds of hours of my life. I'll even go so far as to say the Wii had me for a while, even though it had more peripherals than anything else I had ever seen.

But Nintendo lost me when it came out with the colossal turd that was the Wii-U and insulted my intelligence by telling me it was a completely new idea. "Oh, hey! Here's a NEW console that has almost the exactly the same name as the old one! It's got an extra letter on the end!! H-hey, where are you going?"

Then they come out with this switch bullshit as an attempt to revive their failing business, and anyone who is surprised by its retarded bullshit is a moron who needs to die for the good of our species. Honestly after all the stupid bullshit they pull, all the stupid moves they made by making consoles with weak hardware and lackluster features that are MILES behind their competitors (and they fucking KNOW it), it is not surprising in the least that they're continuing to pull the same stupid bullshit.

Fuck Nintendo. I don't need to cling to my childhood so the Japs can make a buck. Keep your shitty console, my childhood is long behind me anyway.

Why do you need one? The battery in Joy-Cons is enough for 20 h. After playing, you can put the Joy-Cons into the dock, so that they can charge. There's literally almost no scenario where you'd run our of juice in them.

Fuck, this was meant for

>brainlessly shitting on Nintendo
>brainlessly

Brainless is defending Nintendo in any capacity.

The battery lasts 20 hours, why do you need a separate charger for that?

I assume the charging contacts are in the grooves of the sliding bits.
But with the $80 pricetag, wireless charging isn't 100% out of the question.

>all games need to be AAA realistic grapic fests

You didn't play games in your childhood at all

I bet you only picked up the hobby in the last 5 years if you are making fun of the wii u like that

the wii u had more videogamey video games of the AAA industry this gen and you are saying its not a console?

OK faggot

No user, that's the bare controller, the covers look like this.

Hmm, sounds bad. A question though, the dock charges the handheld right? If I leave it in the dock it get's charged? The joy-con and switch itself?

I'm getting a pro controller, so as long as the thing charges while in the dock I'm all good.

Who the fuck charges their controller while playing?

basically everone that has a room larger than a locker

have you ever used Eneloop?

Buy a pack of 4 recharge every 2-3 weeks in a regular battery charger, never run out of charged batteries. These things are fucking awesome. I used them in my wiimotes, my wireless keyboard, my TV remotes. Last as long as lithium packs and easy as shit to replace with extras and recharge.

I just realized something, how are we going to be charging the pro controller? The tablet only has a single usb port on it and I haven't seen any ports on the stand.

There are USB ports on the stand

if the controllers really have 5x the battery life of wiiu tablets this isn't really a problem.

It seems like you can charge them when you've got the tablet docked so you can most likely to leave them on overnight/doing other stuff.

probably connect it to your phone usb charger and/or the usb on the dock

Everything about this shit is so ass backwards.

>It pisses me off too and of course I shelled out for one

>be you
>be 12 years old
>I bet you picked up this hobby 5 years ago.

Topkek m80. I've been playing vidya since before your estranged dad had enough booze in him to even consider squirting you into your fat mom's belly that one drunken night at that Nickelback concert in 2005.

Get fucked, Nintenbaby.

>better games
another tf2 color game
another mario game with different environments

unless you mean pic related which i am excited for.
this system is a joke.

Not only do you post antidotes, you can't even pick an impressive age to lie about when you started playing games

That is sad


I was playing games on my dad's pc as a 3-4 year old

Also fired my first gun around that age, because crazy dad

try again tough guy

Yeah, and in using AAs you have a myriad of rechargable battery options. I don't want or own an xbone but if you don't see the value in this you're a fucking retard

>why would you even WANT to charge while playing??

You know, raging Nintendorks, you can admit that this is a problem even if you're fine with it.

Honest question, will the Switch be the biggest Nintendo failure since the virtual boy? Literally everything about it is shit, and to top it all off it has no fucking games.

Is anyone actually expecting this shit to not fail?

>not only do you post antidotes
>do you post antidotes
>antidotes

NIGGA DO YOU EVEN POST ANTIDOTES?

Actually no, the joy cons have LEDs. You can (barely) see them here , the 4 dots between the L and R buttons.
The grip has empty spaces that let the light through.

You mean the shitty standard cable that's like 2 feet?

I agree that Joycon charger not coming with sucks but let's not pretend that the PS4 and Xbone cable chargers are actually any good since they're short as fuck and pretty much requires you to stop playing unless you buy a longer cable or sit in front of the TV rather than on the sofa.

Also this I feel like this whole thing is a nonissue, I'm more concerned about the subscription service and what price it'll have and also want to know why their pro controller costs more than their previous ones; I can only assume there's some shit in it that ups the price so I hope they don't go full retard and start explaining shit soon.

>all those implications
>videogamey

user the fucking things last 20 hours each
When are you going to go 20 hours undocked for that long without charging
Do you love ice cube tech that much?

Who the fuck constantly recharges their controllers when they stop playing? That shit's rough on the battery to constanly only use a portion of it and then put it back on the charger

Watch the grip not come with a cable either so you have to buy that separately too.

>Wii U
>Colossal turd
>Switch attempt to "Revive their failing buisness"
I'm glad you stopped buying nintendo products. Please continue to avoid nintendo, They don't want your dollar and I quite frankly don't want you supporting them.

You're very clearly a cynical, jaded shithead who doesn't actually enjoy videogames. Thanks for shitting up my board, fucko.

Are you retarded?
The "rough on battery to charge like this" hasn't applied for many years since battery tech has improved
Also anyone that isn't a bumbling retard will be wise enough to pop the joycons onto the docked switch after their gaming session.
Kinda smart of Nintendo here, idiots will get into the routine of always putting the joycons back on the dock, so that way they won't get lost.

Go play 12Switch faggot.

>ad hominim instead of a reply

adorable, you are following damage control 101

maybe next time you can have a real point, but I doubt it

>20 hours = infinite
>If you ever forget to plug in your controller after playing, you must have literal down syndrome

>Is this the first console ever that won't let you charge the controller while playing, until you buy another peripheral?
The Switch itself powers the joycons in portable mode, you fag.

Wish I could, faggot.

I have friends that are getting it too. Sucks to be you.

You do realize it's harder on a battery to be charging it at all times right?

>accuses others of not liking videogames
>wants to play a non.video game
lol

I don't want to charge it at all times either. But if I choose to only play a few hours at a time and not charge til I hit low battery, there's a good chance I might hit a stretch of game where quitting isn't an option, and then I'll have no choice but to shut the game off because the battery's sapped and I have no other choice.

I jb welded the cord into my ds4, so now it's essentially a wired controller.

>Implying you'll forget to recharge the joycons after you've played enough seperate sessions to adequately deplete the battery while both the UI on the tablet and the Joycons themselves display basic colors letting you know they'll need a charge after your sessions over.

Yeah, literally retarded.

He's right though
You'd have to be stupid not to put the joycons back on the dock once you're done

>Most "video-gamey" videogame ever made
>Non-videogame

Sonnyger tears make my dick wet.

Read the press releases user, they literally say the controllers only charge when the tablet is in charging mode

>game where you don't even have to look at the VIDEO
>videogame
LOL
