It still hurts my head that that mini-game got made

I'm still debated if it's worth selling a kidney just for a Pro Controller now, or waiting for a hopeful price drop in 2-3 years.

$50. $49.99 to be exact. It's $10 cheaper than Zelda.

$20 is too generous. I might be enticed to buy it if it was like $15. I wonder how many people would actually buy it at $50? It's like NintendoLand on the Wii U, the only people that own it had it bundled in with their console. No one bought the game on its own, even when it became a $19.99 "Selects" title.

It's not even a real game, it's a series of demos designed to show off the functionality of the Joy-Con controllers.

Pro Controller will likely be $10-$20 off for Black Friday like XBone/PS4. And there is always those "$X off $Y" orders Best Buy does these days.

I'll make my final decision on if I want one after I feel the grip's comfort level.

If that is true, I will be getting those two!

Would the Wii U pro controller be compatible?

Extremely unlikely. They're hell bent on screwing gamers on their new overpriced controllers/accessories. They won't make it Wii U Pro compatible.

Also, why would you want to use it anyway? The Wii U Pro controller is terribly designed.

I purchased Nintendoland upon release and got plenty of enjoyment out of it with my boys. While I agree that 1-2 Switch is over priced at $50, I'll be giving it a shot for the hell of it.

With a bit of credit, I managed to get 1-2 Switch for £25 from Amazon which is more than reasonable.

It's one of the games for StreetPass. It's called Puzzle Swap. You collect pieces from the people that you meet in order to complete puzzles. When you meet a person you see what they have and you get to take one piece. The pink pieces are StreetPass only which means you have to meet someone to get them. The blue pieces can also be obtained by using the play coins that you receive from walking around with your 3DS (however when you try that method, you only get a piece at random plus you can end up receiving a piece you already have. The best method is to obtain them via StreetPass)

[Ooze33]

Yeah, I also think 1-2 Switch looks like a lot of fun. And with Prime it can be pre-ordered for $40. I got the system pre-ordered and will be pre-ordering 1-2 and Zelda (maybe Bomberman) for release day!

Was that a serious statement?

Dude, the Wii U pro controller doesn't even have analogue triggers. I can't classify any modern day controller as "great" that doesn't even have analogue triggers.

You really like that design? I hate that the right thumbstick is above the buttons. The Switch Pro Controller corrected this horrible design, by placing the thumbstick under the buttons like it's supposed to be. There is nothing good about the Wii U so-called "Pro" Controller.

[Diesel]

I liked the Wii U's pro controller and the Gamecube's controller.

Dualshock 4 is probably my favorite controller.
