That's way more than buying "additional stuff". I don't think less of people that bitch about the joycon not having a d pad, it's a fair criticism that I agree with actually (while also understanding why Nintendo did it).

AlecSkorpio 09/14/19 11:14:36 AM #14:	Honestly, the Joy Con itself is one of the worst controllers ever due to the pointless features each one has and the bloated price due to it. Does every Joycon really need an NFC reader? Has HD Rumble been used effectively in anything other than 1 2 Switch? How many games honestly feature multiplayer only using single joycons? Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Mario Party? And do people honestly enjoy playing Mario Kart with just a single joycon?

I prefer AA batteries for the long term. I have plenty of Sanyo Eneloops that I can quickly recharge and throw in a new set when power gets low. Takes me less then 60 seconds to swap batteries. Joycons & Pro Controllers lack analog buttons as well, so not much you can do about that.

Yo, lemme drop some knowledge real quick: https://twitter.com/Bryfang/status/1167476621516910593 ^ So I got these works of work a lil' while ago and I learned something about the Joy-Con's D-Pad. So it turns out it's not as simple as slapping a D-Pad over the 4 quadrants and calling it a day, the Joy-Con buttons do not like being pressed in different directions at the same time. Like, I could press Down and Right at the same time, but if I try to transition that to a Right Up, it refuses to acknowledge the command. I had to start lifting my thumb off the D-Pad completely, more or less resetting my position before I move somewhere else, and it really sucks. Why does it suck? Because the Switch Pro Controller doesn't have that problem at all. So when the Switch Lite makes it's D-Pad, it's going to be better than the D-Pads people make on Joy-Cons because there's some under-the-hood shit Nintendo does to make the D-Pad function the way they're supposed to. $190 for Joy-Cons are you kidding me --- Well allons-y, Alonso! <cite>DarkRoast posted [p:927425017] in I've seen ...
