Why is the real controller sold separately?

You still get a grip in the box but it doesn't have charging capability. Charging joycon grips don't actually make a lot of sense unless you don't own a Switch/Switch 2 in the first place so you don't have a charging station for the controllers (the tablet itself)

For a controller shaped the exact same it's actually bafflingly stupid they pretty much thrashed its repairability and user friendliness for no reason. They're gonna eat some pretty big shit with that battery edict from the EU coming up

I bought a chink clone in 2017, for $50 dlls and it's still in pristine condition.

Thanks, Nintendo.

If you're someone who only plays docked, it sucks to have to get up and put the controller on the console every single time. There's literally no reason why the included grip doesn't have a USB passthrough.

If you work at engineering you get used to this stuff, there's never a "it didn't have to be there" when shipping a product if it's there it's for a reason (in this case, they wanted to save some pennies on materials for the grip).

Huh? I mean they are the only ones that need a grip to make 2 smalle controllers into a regular sized one... this is a very weird complaint.

I like how he tries to prove the battery pack being hard to replace is a sin with a controller that uses AA batteries for power. Like no shit if it's a simple battery you'd need to access is easily but people aren't replacing their li-on batteries on a regular basis.

It doesn't matter if it's frequent or not, you should be able to fix a part that is going to fail at some point. The Switch 1 didn't have this issue.

I'm not saying that it's not happening, just that they purposefully chose a controller design where you need immadiate access to the batteries to exaggerate the issue. They didn't need to do that, they could've used the dualsense and that would've been a fair comparison but they needs to maximize rage to squeeze out more views.

You know exactly why, Nintendo are kikes. Joycons are awful for handheld play too. We're stuck waiting for third parties to make something decent.

As opposed to not giving a shitty plastic in the box to put the joycons in and being forced to buy an additional thing if you want to play docked more comfortably? Is that the better option for the consumer?

not really, the right to repair law only says that companies need to provide repair for their costumers at a reasonable price and can't interfere with third parties creating repair services for their product. The repair itself being a hassle doesn't matter as long as you have the option to repair it.

No, the joycons are atrociously bad as they are and don't count as proper controllers. A game console should come with at least 1 proper controller (i.e. something with a fucking dpad)

No it doesn't. If it doesn't have a dpad, it's useless.
It's fucked up how there is like 1 knockoff soicon with a dpad and even that lacks a battery and has a weird color.

There's one which looks like the original joycon, but I don't know why you'd want that - the original's ergonomics are godawful.
There are plenty with dpads which are more comfortable and also better in every other respect too.

The last time I checked, only HORI made joycons with d-pad, and they were all had kind of meme design like zelda and stuff instead of a single color. Also people said it felt cheap and a lot lighter than a regular joycon.

Hori have a few different options with dpads, some are even pretty good. For me though I like mobapad m6 best. Build quality is solid, dpad & buttons are tactile and responsive, and it's got feature parity with everything in stock joycons except the ir sensor.

These are huge as fuck, but I'm sure the ergonomics are miles better than joycons. If I ever get a switch, I'll look into these.
