For those purchasing the Nintendo Switch and requiring additional controllers; the price of them came as a bit of a shock when they first appeared for pre-order on some retailers’ websites. Thankfully the price of the Pro-Controller on Amazon.co.uk has seen a decrease today to a much more respectable £64.99.
The controller boasts a screen capture button so you can share images with your friends and family on social media. Nintendo’s ‘HD Rumble’ alongside a built-in amiibo reader are also present.
You can purchase yours here.
It’s also worth noting that Zelda: Breath Of The Wild has taken a very slight drop down to £48. See for yourself here.
Ok for the UK.
Now what abour us in America?
And yet the pro controller has always been £60 on the official online store. Why is everywhere else overcharging?
If you’ve already pre ordered thr game, do you still get the discounted price?
If you preordered through amazon, then yes, they always give you the lowest price. At least here in the states they do.
Too expensive for a Nintendo Controller. I can afford it but not everyone can and IMHO it should be at least €40/£40 instead.
We’re not talking about a beastly PC/gaming rig/PS4/Xbox One here after all.
Dude, the technology on the device has absolutely nothing to do with the tech inside the controller, which in this case is more advanced than the one in the Dualshock 4 and the Xbox One’s controller.
I definitely think the controller is too expensive in UK, but $70 in the US makes a lot of sense. It’s only several dollars more than a PS4 or XB1 controller and has motion controls, NFC reader, and HD rumble.. I hope it comes to Amazon US soon…
Im hoping its PC compatible. Im looking to replace my old 360 controller, and I just dont want to get another XBO controller since those always end up being sync’d to my XBO lol.
I highly doubt it. But that would be awesome.
It was confirmed in the japanese site of the Nintendo Switch that it’s going to connect through Bluetooth. So yeah, it’s gonna be compatible with PC, but you are gonna have to wait for someone to create the software needed to use it there (since there is no way Nintendo is doing that themselves).
Yeah im sure someone will make it possible, I was just hoping it would have native compatibility.
