    Switch essential

    This is a must purchase for any Switch owner. It's expensive, but it's a huge upgrade from the nunchuck day of the Wii. Unlike the nunchuck, both side of the controllers can be used independently and you don't have to worry about the cable in between. On games that only require one joycon, each player can grab one to play. They are not as durable as the Wii controller so make sure you get the protective cover for them.

    These are the basic, OEM Nintendo JoyCons and they work just as well as you would expect. Nintendo hardware is usually pretty premium with good quality materials and durable manufacturing - these controllers are no exception. I got my Switch with the grey controllers so no confusion adding an extra red/blue set, but even if you bought the red/blue with your Switch it's nice that these are the opposite colors (Red=L; Blue=R) than what was packaged with the console.

    They seem to break at around 1 year mark. This is my second set, I hope they last a bit longer this time. They are also a bit overpriced for what they are.

    Nintendo doesn't get enough credit for their ingenuity. They may not be considered mainstream in today's gaming world, but that's doesn't stop their competitors from trying to follow in their foot steps and failing. Xbox had the kinect which has been mostly scrapped and the Playstation had the move which has been resurrected thanks to VR. The JoyCons are essentially the next generation Wii mote and they are fantastic. I've heard complaints above size, but with my larger hands they still seem to fit just fine.

    An extra set is nice especially for some games. The price is steep, add in the cost of a separate charger and you are in the ouch zone. Quality seems good and the joy cons work well. Hopefully we will see more games take advantage of their abilities soon.

    I wasn't sure if we needed to get another set of joy cons for our newly purchases Switch. I'm glad we did. I think it's possible to play games with just 1 joy con but it seems you can do more with 2 joy cons used on 1 game. You can charge them on the switch or you can pick up a joy con charger. We are just using the switch as a charging station as we don't drain the batteries when we play (limiting our playing time to about 1 hr/day). The switch batteries seem to last quite a long time.
