    These controllers came in handy. We have been trying to get some extra ones since last year and they were sold out but it was one left and we grabbed it and that first night we played Mario and I so love playing the game with my kids.

    I feel like it brings me back to my childhood a little bit... Where the green N-64 controller was always the one I got to use (my older brother got Blue and little brother had yellow). The joy-cons are fun and colorful, we have a couple sets so we have a totally red and totally blue controller. Love em!

    The easiest joy sticks for family fun and express service at best buy. Good endurance for highly active games and easy to set up multiplayers

    These work well but the straps are hard to remove

    I love that you get two controllers in one with these Joy-Con. With these and the ones that come with the Switch you basically have 4 controllers, which in my case is enough for the whole household. I bought a second Comfort Grip to go along with these as well. I intend to get the Charging Dock once it comes out so I can charge all 4 at the same time and so I don't have to mess with my Switch unless I am using it in handheld mode. I did take one star off because I have a really hard time removing the straps.

    Small size is awkward at first if you're used to other systems, but the unique design is very handy once you're used to it.

    The Joycons are awesome. The HD Rumble feature really makes you feel the game. They are small and easy to carry. You should have at least two pairs so you can play multiplayers games like Mario Kart and make the experience extra fun.

    Multiple ways to play, docked into the switch itself, with the holder that looks like a dog, or one in each hand separately. At first they seem like they'll be too small but I haven't had an issue using them, no cramping or anything even after (probably) 6 hours straight. Definitely a great feature of the Switch.

    Best 2 pack set controller

    I've always been hesitant to buy a 3rd and 4th controller for any console because of the price. Nintendo makes it easier to do local 4 player/party gameplay with a pair of joy-cons! This has been enjoyed the past 2-3 weeks and it was just for 1 game, many more coming as soon as we beat the current one.

    Innovative, but not perfect

    Joy-cons are an interesting innovation in gaming control schemes. These feature Nintendo's fantastic, tactile, clicky and response faceplate buttons from the 3DS. The sticks you may are alright, nothing to write home about. The bumpers are also very tactile, but inconsistent in their button triggering actuality. You can play separated to be relaxed, or attached for finer control. Battery life is good. I prefer the Pro Controller if I have a choice in the game.

    Need at least two sets for the switch

    If you have a switch, you need to grab another set of controllers for multiplayer games. That is what the Nintendo switch is really about and when it is at its best. Save the single player games for the other consoles and pick up another set. If you have a set of black controllers, grab a colored set.
