![]() I'm now holding out to buy the Switch once Nintendo releases the Switch XL, which i hope will have a decent size screen, retooled controllers - for good comparison, the travel of the joy con's analog sticks is about 1/3 of what you'll feel in an xbox one controller, and it is VERY noticeable during times when you want to have very accurate aiming or other subtle movement. Ultimately i'd say the pro controller would be necessary for adults because of the completely ill-fitting controllers, but maybe they work for more people than i would believe. I'm not even a very large handed person, but after 2 hours my thumbs both cramped and the center of my palms were on fire. Maybe i'm just too poor to enjoy nintendo anymore but given that I had almost 0 use of the screen because the one game i had played with it, Zelda, was almost illegible on the Switch Screen, text too small, but the joy cons. Amazon can somehow push a 10.1 inch tablet with 64gb ram out the door for $189 (the new Fire HD 10 as of ) but Nintendo somehow has priced this system, which by all counts has rather mediocre tech in terms of gfx, at $300. Just came here after returning my Switch, primarily because i was so displeased with the controllers, as well as the size of the screen, for the price. On the other hand, $70 is a little too much to ask, considering its tremendous similarities to the Xbox One and PS4 controllers, which cost about $50 to $60.Ĭonsider this peripheral a worthwhile luxury, but not a necessity. It also works fairly well on PC, provided you're willing to rejigger a few of the controls manually. It's extremely comfortable, and has a much better button layout for long, involved single-player adventures. Personally, I picked up a Pro controller, and haven't been too disappointed with it. ![]() Both are valid, depending on how you intend to use the Switch - and how you actually use it, once you’ve had it in your possession for a few months. The biggest argument in favor of the Pro Controller is that it’s extremely comfortable for at-home setups the biggest argument against it is that it’s almost totally superfluous if you use the Switch on the go.

If you elect to play with the Joy-Cons in the grip rather than a Pro Controller, you’re not taking a huge step backward. “I use the Switch, 90 percent of the time, in handheld mode, whether it’s on an airplane, or car trip, or in my bedroom because someone else is using the TV.”Īnother point worth considering is that the Joy-Cons in the grip approximate the look and feel of a regular controller pretty well. "Considering that I spend about 80 percent of my Switch time in handheld mode, I still wonder if I’ve gotten my full $70 out of the controller," he said.Įven Rutherford, who was generally pleased with his Pro Controller purchase, hasn’t used it that much yet. “To me, the Switch is the best-ever handheld console, and I don’t need a Pro Controller for that.”Īndronico agreed, explaining that he generally plays the Switch on the go, limiting a Pro Controller’s utility. “I played all of Breath of the Wild and only connected the Switch to the TV once,” Freedman said. As such, the Joy-Cons attached to the tablet screen are the ideal way to experience any game, regardless of how intricate the controls can be. On the other hand, there’s one huge reason to avoid the Pro Controller: The Switch is partially (and some would argue primarily) a portable console.

The Pro Controller also simply feels good to hold. “Fighting games would suck on the Joy-Cons,” Andrew Freedman, staff writer for Tom’s Guide, pointed out, explaining that the more traditional D-pad on the Pro Controller could be almost vital for pulling off difficult combos. ![]() Rutherford also pointed out that Joy-Cons don’t charge in the standard controller grip instead, you have to buy a separate $30 charging grip - and a $70 controller is arguably a better deal than a $30 grip whose only purpose is to do something the console dock already does.Ī Pro Controller could also help, depending on what genre of games you plan to play. ![]()
