Every Terrible Pricing Decision Nintendo Is Making With the Switch

March is going to be expensive

Charging Grip

Nintendo Switch, Joy-Con

The Joy-Con Charging Grip has been another accessory at the heart of a lot of confusion following the reveal event last month. While many thought that the grip, which charges your Joy-Con as you play, was the one that came in the box with the system, it turns out this is not the case.

If you don’t pick one of these Charging Grips, you’ll be forced to dock your Joy-Con to the side of the Switch every time they run out of battery. Hardly ideal if you want to play on your TV and don’t have a Pro controller.

To avoid this charging inconvenience, you’ll be paying an additional $29.99. If you’re looking at picking up a Pro controller and a Charging Grip so that you never have to worry about charging issues, you’ll be adding an additional $100 on top of that $299.99. At $399.99, you’re looking at the same price as a PS4 Pro, and still don’t have a game to play on your shiny new system.
