Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers can't be charged using the bundled grip | VG247

Meh, I only ever plan on using the pro controller anyway.

gord0 That’s extra $70 on top of the $300, right?

Probly… I paid for a pro controller for my wiiu and a classic controller for my wii, so it’s nothing new for me… heck i bought a 360 and a xbone controller for my pc so it’s pretty normal for me lol

Katsuo that’s not true, technically

ShiftySatchmo Which one is not true?

Katsuo the standard grip has a USB C port you can plug into to charge I’m pretty sure. I think the charge grip has a battery so you can charge wirelessly.

Katsuo also, if the controllers stay charged for 20 hours this will never be an issue haha. You just snap them onto the system when it is docked when you aren’t playing and tadaaaa

ShiftySatchmo The USB C port is to charge the display thingy. But everyone says that the joy-con controllers can’t be charged with the grip. Meh, I’m pretty sure no one cares in the first place XD

Katsuo nah I think the grip itself has one too. But as you said, it doesn’t matter! The only way I would not get the switch is if they increased the price to $500 and cancelled zelda.

ShiftySatchmo You’ll pay for it $500 eventually. With the extra controller and monthly sub and what not. I know you will! Instead of wasting money on me, you are wasting on a $500 game called Zelda. Horrible :s

Katsuo haha I might get another repair of Joy cons eventually, but meh it starts with two so that’s cool. I won’t do the monthly subscription unless some online game comes out that teh_g sYnCroSis demand we play

ShiftySatchmo Splatoon 2, ARMS and Mario Kart? Yeah, you are paying for the sub XD

Katsuo ehhh I have mario kart on wii u so not sure I’ll get it again. I might to play on the airplane with my wife or something

ShiftySatchmo Good. Then Splatoon and arms it is \o/

Spinalfailed as a Wii U owner I can say this is not an updated Wii U. But hey, not everyone has to like everything! Also, what do you mean XB1 offered a lot more? Graphically this isn’t that far off, it’s single controller can turn into two controllers for multiplayer, the system itself becomes a handheld. $200 is a big difference.

Wii u had a portable interface. This has a portable interface. Instead of being tethered to a single location you can go places… Like one of the DS models that have been out forever. The battery life sucks. Nintendo seems to want to cash in on the same 5 or so IPs. I just stopped buying because of nostalgia. Do i want to play Zelda? Sure but not at $400

Spinalfailed xbox 360 was a box with a controller. XB1 was a box with a controller. Wii U had a distance of like 15 feet so now being able to go anywhere is a pretty big leap. Every console cashes in on core franchises. Every console (and even pc) ports and remasters old games to make more money. Also, don’t forget most people didn’t buy a Wii U so yes, they will try to make money off of a few existing titles. If by ā€œjust like a dsā€ you mean it can be a portable gaming system and that’s it, then sure? I can’t hand my wife a controller on an airplane and have her play DS with me though, and it sure as heck wouldn’t look as good. As for the battery, 2.5 to 6 hours is what I get on my vita and I’ve never had an issue.

Anyhoo, like I said, people have reasons not to buy it and I’m just showing you it’s OK for other people to want to buy it. I’m super pumped that I can travel and take this with me. Heck, even the dock is tiny if it’s a long trip I’ll take the whole thing.

The battery life for gaming is pretty much the same on all handhelds including phones. Games drain the fuck out of the battery. Play a 2d game and get 6hrs, play a 3d game and get less (depending on how hardware intensive the graphics are). Phones normally last a long time because most of the time your’re not playing games. I’ve never had a ds or vita last over 6hrs ever.

gord0 yeah and even laptops are like 1 to 3 hours when gaming.
