100% sure my Wii U Pro Controller came with a usb charging cable, not a generic one either, it was light gray and had Nintendo branding on it. But yea who knows about the Switch Pro, won't know until someone does an unboxing i guess

 

[Lothars]

No.

hmm ok

 

[Fuzzy]

Cables come with the dual shock. I am about 80% sure.

No they don't. It even has a warning on the back of the box at the bottom. I have one in front of me.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Not like one comes with the DualShock 4.

but I feel like this is different. That's because the PS4 comes with one. Does the switch come with a usb c cable you can use to charge controllers? If so then it's a non issue to me. As long as they're providing one either with the console or with the controller it's cool.

Well, if the system comes with the cable then that's not a problem. WiiU never had the pro controller cable so it comes with it if you buy the controller.

Do we even know what port does the pro controller uses? USB-C?

 

[doctorcdcs]

Watched Jim Sterling's Jimpression about Nioh.


Damn, now I want to pre-order it


Must... stand.... fast!

Even if the Switch comes with one people would still bitch about the controllers not coming with one because "lol Nintendo".

[FearMyWrench]

Damn well better come with a cable at that price...

but yeah, as others said, the JP/EU sites say it does and the Wii U Pro came with one.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Even if the Switch comes with one people would still bitch about the controllers not coming with one because "lol Nintendo".

to be fair though, this shit is 100 dollars lol. Even the american price is crazy high. So it'd be nice to get an extra.

 

[Iamcorrupt]

Walmart.com just had switch pre orders come and go so we should(maybe?) see them on our side in the near future no?

 

[The Omega Man]

I just paid 103$ for a controller lol.

I was thinking the same thing, watching walmart.ca, but still nothing. At one point they had the placeholder here:

if I wasn't using my work yearly bonus for this I'd feel worse about it.

 

[Iamcorrupt]

This is why I'm super glad it squeaked in to EB just before the double credit promo expired, there's no other way I could have justified a $100 controller.

 

[farisr]

Man, caring about physical copies sucks. I think I'm gonna keep Nioh after all after hearing reported shortages. Don't want to risk a physical copy not being available later on in the year.

 

[oreomunsta]

Holy shit, I hope Walmart doesn't :<

I can't keep up with the digital thirsties who go to checkout in a matter of seconds

 

[leeman]

My copy of Yakuza 0 just shipped from Amazon. Ordered it about a week ago, long after the release date. I guess they received their new shipment? Curious if it will come with the card holder, not holding my breath...

 

[nath999]

Ok I think I'm out on The Switch just adding up the cost and to play Zelda the way I want doesn't seem worth it.

Switch Console - $451.99
Zelda - $72.31
Switch Pro Controller - 101.69
---------------------------------------------
Total $ 625.99


With what they've shown so far and all the questions still surrounding the switch I think it's best I resist impluse.

[AzureSkies]

You can change your username?

 

[Lexxism]

You can change your username?

Yes.

 

[Fuzzy]

Me too.

 

[AzureSkies]

You can change your username?

Contact an admin and they can change your username.

The name I changed to was too close to another users name so searching for who quoted me would result in me finding people quoting them instead.

 

[farisr]

Looks like my Nioh order did get cancelled after all. I think I'm gonna risk it and not buy it right now. Try to get it later once I've put a dent in this current backlog, which probably won't be till May or June. Hope I can nab a physical copy still at that point.

Adding up a console launch in Canadian dollars with tax...

I don't have the stomach to buy a controller for $100.

 

[Fix-It Felix. Jr.]

I really hope there are some sales during the holidays, or else I won't be playing Mario for a while.

Those prices are ridiculous.

 

[Kiro]

How are you guys ordering Zelda from Amazon knowing it isn't guaranteed delivery of March 3rd? I'd hate to have my Switch sitting there for several days without a game to play.
