Reddit reviews Nintendo Joy-Con (L/R) - Gray

This thread is filled with a ton of good game recommendations, so I'll skip that. One thing I would DEFINITELY recommend getting, however...

An additional set of Joy-Con controllers

Joy-Cons are the standard controller option for the Switch, and the main console comes with one pair. A "pair" of Joy-Cons is actually two small controllers that can be docked onto the sides of the console, docked onto a controller accessory (which will also be included with your Switch), or held separately - one in each hand. Technically, one "set" of Joy-Cons is enough to play most games without much limit, but a second set would make everything a LOT more comfortable for your kids, and would even open up the possibility of playing 4-player games with them and your husband.

There are other controller options, but I wouldn't worry about them at first. Joy-Cons should be more than sufficient for the younglings.

Definitely a Screen Protector

A Travelling Case would be nice.

I also added Dr Scholls Moleskin to the front of my dock to reduce the risk of scratching the screen protector. (Two small strips on the parts inside the dock that are raised.)

A Memory Card also helps for the digital only games.

What color Switch did you get? I got the grey switch then bought a pair of Red Joycons and another pair of Blue Joycons. So in total I have a grey, red, and blue L Joycon and a grey, red, and blue R Joycon.

If you got the grey switch and then buy the [two color Joycon packs] (https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Joy-Con-Neon-Neon-Blue/dp/B01N6QJ58Y/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1493753597&sr=8-2&keywords=blue+joycons) then you won't be able to get one of each color for L/R without over paying. This is because the [two color Joycon packs] (https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Joy-Con-Neon-Neon-Blue/dp/B01N6QJ58Y/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1493753597&sr=8-2&keywords=blue+joycons) are always Red L and Blue R.

If you bought a neon switch, then buy the [two color Joycon pack] (https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Joy-Con-Neon-Neon-Blue/dp/B01N6QJ58Y/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1493753597&sr=8-2&keywords=blue+joycons) and a pair of Grey Joycons for all combinations.

Also, don't buy Joycons on Amazon, they are stupid expensive right now.

I don't have a pro controller yet, but people seem to love it.

Games:

Zelda = Must Buy

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe = Must Buy

1-2 Switch = Great for parties/friends

Snipperclips = Great for people who don't play games often (girlfriends/parents/kids). Secret here is to not explain how to play/what to do and let them have fun and try to figure out the puzzles on their own. Act like a support character and you'll have a blast watching them.

Binding of Isaac = I love this game, but put countless hours on the PC version. Mature themes

Super Bomberman R = Classic mode with easy CPUs is fun for roommates. I haven't played through the adventure mode yet.

Wonderboy = Cute/Fun side scroller.

Has Been Heroes = I don't have this yet, apparently very difficult.


Other notes:

I started collecting amiibos after getting a switch (Be very careful, it's easy to get addicted and drop a ton of money here).

I got a Joycon charging dock since the only way to charge extra pairs of Joycons without the Joycon charging dockis to rotate them in and out of the switch while it charges/docked.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

PS I love the Switch so much. It's definitely my favorite console ever.

Not sure if it's just me but the post isn't sending me to Amazon so here's a link.

>80 bucks

Joy-cons are dropping in price recently and you can get them used if you want them even cheaper. And honestly... most people don't care about 1-2-Switch, and can live without Super Mario Party. Those are the only games I can think of that require joy-con play. I doubt more will be announced with the advent of the Lite.

I can't seem to find the Best Buy links now, but they will also probably be there too. All additional Joy-Con variations to purchase now are: Gray (2), Red (L) & Blue (R), Red (2), Blue (2), Gray (L), & Gray (R)

$80

Mate I'm sorry to say but I strongly doubt you'll be able to get $90 for the joycons. The case is neat, but you can get brand new joycons on Amazon for 71$, less for the red/blue ones. The color is neat but I'm doubtful anyone would pay a 20$ premium on it. Perhaps if you priced it a bit closer to 70$ you'd have better luck - but even then after fees and shipping you're coming out way lower than you could on Craigslist.

As for the mouse, that's a pretty okay price there. Good luck with the sales.

Amazon (Shipped and sold by Amazon, themselves) has the Gray joycon set on sale for $66.22 if you're looking to save a few bucks and buy from a legit seller.

amazon grey joycons are currently $72 (free shipping):

Are you in the US? Amazon has grey ones right now.

EDIT: They're gone.

Gray pack is still available if u want it

Amazon has some available

CamelCamelCamel shows that the Joy-Con prices have been fluctuating below MSRP on Amazon since launch. The lowest price has been $66. I'm debating whether to buy the set for $72 now or wait for a better deal.

Edit: Keep in mind that these are the Gray Joy-Con. Colored ones seem to be in higher demand (since most people have Gray from the console purchase), so they are harder to find and stay at $80.

All joycons come with the grip in the box. Take a look

Why are you lying?

Amazon has the gray joy-cons for $75 right now, and in stock, if that helps:

This looks oem to me...

https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Joy-L-R-Gray-switch/dp/B01N6QKT7H?th=1

This seems to be like the Korean version of massdrop

But seeing how there the same price on amazon. ...and you get free shipping.

I'd suggest ordering on amazon, rather than wait for paid shipping from overseas.

Nope. They are $79.99 but are currently even less on amazon.
