Every Terrible Pricing Decision Nintendo Is Making With the Switch

Pro Controller

The cost of Joy-Con sets could be forgiven considering you’ll only ever use one set with your Switch at any given time. However, the Nintendo Switch’s Pro controller is once again another instance of extreme accessory pricing.

The Pro controller, for those of you unfamiliar with it, is essentially a more traditional video game controller for the Nintendo Switch. It features the same HD rumble feature that the Joy-Con do, built-in amiibo functionality, and will cost you $69.99.

HD rumble and built-in amiibo functionality aren’t going to be cheap features to include in the controller, but when stacked up next to the DualShock 4, there certainly seems to be some disparity between the product and the price tag.
