They're 50 bucks, not 80. Plus, they're higher quality and have more stuff in them.

What? I'm pretty sure Xbox/PS4 controllers are like $50-60 unless the price was raised recently.

Ah, Canada prices nvm.

Well okay, they're 80 in Canada. That means joy cons are probably a lot more than that in Canada.

In the US, joy cons are 80, and other controllers are 50.

I mean its a problem because Super Mario Party can only be played with joycons. The obvious answer is to have another friend with a switch which doesnt always work out.

But think of how much they shove into those little remotes.
- Motion Control (I think its an IR sensor)
- HD Rumble
- NFC reader for amiibo

It really ratchets up the price of the controllers which many people see as gimmicky

Yeah, Mario Party is why this topic even exists. I'm gonna get it and want to play four player, so I just looked up how much they cost. I think I'll wait a bit.

Sometimes one of them breaks and you need to replace it without spending $80 for the 2-pack

They also have the audacity to assume you have 2 switches lying around to play some of the games. Like I get that the feature is pretty much black magic level of cool (where you lay down the tablets and can play one game moving between both screens) but it shows the design philosophy behind forcing you to have certain things to get maximum out of the game

Yeah, I'm waiting a new model to come out with improved durability because my pack-in joy-cons are starting to go south. Otherwise, I'm considering buying a wired Pro Controller for $30.
