Been looking for a good way to get both Snipperclips and a pair of additional Joy-Cons, but haven't seen much talk about it on hukd, there are only cold threads for ShopTo at £85 and Amazon at £80, but no alternatives. Nintendo's UK store is selling it at £80 too.
The cheapest price for Joy-Con pair on its own (either colour) appears to be £70, and meanwhile Snipperclips has settled in with aggregate score 80 on Opencritic and 81 on Metacritic.
Snipperclips' digital price is £18, but it's seen some heat in threads like CDKeys taking it as low as £15.19. I would have bought it at that price too if I couldn't find a good bundle price, but I'd say this is pretty good and have ordered it myself before posting. Ordered at 16:30 and it was dispatched at 17:10.
Hope you guys are enjoying your new consoles as much as I am. Long live Multiplayer!

still horrifically expensive for peripherals. I think once the excitement fades (like it did with pokemon) Nintendo will have another failed console on their hands. they're still charging 200 odd for the wii u on their website for crying out loud...

But it's not two controllers. It's basically two halves of one controller!!
Nice one :smiley: I hope this gets the heat it deserves on the basis of the pricing for the individual items.

I miss Wii Play and a motion controller for £30

According to BoE, inflation would put that at £39.83 in todays money for one controller and a game.
this is less than twice that for two controllers and a game so this is comparative at least.

Wasn't it £20?
I don't think inflation is that high.

Standard pricing compared to Wii controllers at launch and the current price of ps move controllers. Minus the price of the game it is £60 for two controllers. I don't think that is too bad for a brand new release. They will drop a bit, but demand will keep the price up, plus that Nintendo tax.
Pokemon Go had revenue over $1b and sun and moon sold fantastically well. Yes, the user base of Go has declined, but that is standard for the market and not specific just to Pokemon Go.

Smyths by me dropped wii u's down to £150 week before switch came out. They soon got rid. The display one you could play is even gone.

The most powerful handheld you can get. The best RPG game ever on it already. The best racer ever made coming next month. Failed? I think not.
However, I will concede it's being milked for all it's worth at the moment. Everything is costing 150% of what it should be. Price you pay for early adoption I guess.

I agree that it's still pricey and that excitement will die down. However the fact that it's a handheld that could be viewed as a 3ds successor is on their side. I'm not sure it will flop, but I don't think it will be particularly successful after the initial fanboys buy them out unless they reduce the price like they did the 3ds. Plus there is a lot of issues to be sorted out.

Well give me a failed console any day if it means I get to play games like Zelda BOTW, Love it so much, forgotten what a truly great game was

The console may fail or may not, but definitely guaranteed to get some of the best gaming experience, like the wii u did...the switch is off to belter with Zelda Breath of the Wild as a launch software. Yes people will say not enough good games at launch, but it was the same with the big boy consoles, ps4 and xb1...during that time the wii u churned out absolute belters of games after a slow start...

Do two sets of joycons for one switch device work for two player on the go? Or four player with one Joycon each?

Both, I think. Depends what you're playing.
