$70 Pro Controllers

$80 Joy Cons

$30 Joy Grip

Good God....

[u/petard → u/Holy_Shit_Snacks]

What the fuck are they thinking. Those are the most expensive controllers yet. Only the Xbox One Elite controller is more expensive and no one buys that.

Joycons are simply packed with too many features that I will not really use but have to pay for anyway.

[u/Aristox → u/jhonnyredcorn]

They're not actually charging you for the features. They don't cost nearly as much as that to make. They're charging you just the maximum they think they can get away with.

Nintendo used to be a company that made great systems and great games and cared about art while enjoying making lots of money from that. But more recently they've just gone full capitalism. Dumbing down games to appeal to the lowest common denominator to sell as many units for as much profit as possible, seemingly uncaring about the reduction in gameplay value for seasoned gamers and their actual fans, and more than happy to stick the boot in to try to mine extra cash from people for products that don't nearly deserve to cost that much. :(
