I love this controller.
Gotta say though, splashing out over fifty quid for it still hurts. I would only consider it a deal if I found it for £30-£40.
That's what it's been for me: convenience. I'll happily trade power for it (up to a point!).
That and the games I've played on it have been pretty bloody great this year. Two have been exceptional.
The pad is expensive, but if you want one this is a good price. Personally I love playing with split joycons so I haven't needed to get one.
F#$% nintendo!
Lol. no frills. Couldn't be further from the truth
If he's not going to be playing Mario Odyssey, Kart 8, Zelda BotW or Splatoon 2. Then I'd agree with you entirely.
I have all 3 consoles and at present the Switch is my go to device.
Xbox X and Pro are the same to me. No difference between them, but the Switch, I really do love it. Throw it in the dock and play, move to the sofa or bedroom, keep playing. I take it to work, I take it in the car, I take it to the In-Laws . (edited)
There are way more offerings than just Mario or Zelda... I suggest Splatoon 2 and Arms. Unique games.
Sneak it what’s do you think of your drone? Worth it? As good as they look?
While it does have the battery life and HD rumble as plus points it doesn't have triggers, it doesn't have a headphone jack, the D-pad isn't pivoted and is prone to unintended inputs. Personally it feels a little lower quality too.
I have this controller and it is pretty basic for the price they're asking for it
Especially build quality it feels and looks cheap too
I felt the build quality was solid and good quality but guess we have differing opinions on that. Reviews are pretty consistent about build quality being good though I do know internet opinion kinda sways between it being tacky and feeling high quality. Feature-wise, it's pretty competitive though. It also does bluetooth and works on the PC without needing a dongle, with the dualshock doesn't. And battery life, there's no contest More than triple that of the Dualshock 4. And you don't need AAs like the Xbox One's controllers either.
That said, I kinda miss the headphone jack and it doesn't have the light bar that the dualshock has. Doesn't have button mapping like the Xbox One's either.
Agree - I kinda feel this is like the same situation with the Wii U Pro Controller - low supply, so prices are kept high. That's just a guess though, based on the fact that you don't need the Pro Controller for the Switch while you do need controllers for the other consoles.
I'm trying to talk my son out of getting one as he's not a Zelda and to a lesser extent Mario fan.
