With the release of the Nintendo Switch Online App for mobile today we have also learned that Nyko are offering a product which allows you to attach your smartphone to your Joy-Con for your voice-chat enabled online play sessions. It’s called the Clip Grip Power. The accessory also houses a pretty decent 3,000 mAh battery which will provide extra play time by serving as a secondary battery source for the Joy-Con, smartphone, or console battery. It’s currently only available on Amazon.com for $24.99 but I’m sure we’ll see a European release sometime soon.
Chris Arbogast, Nyko’s Director of Sales and Marketing had this to say about the new accessory:
Since voice chat for multiplayer games on Nintendo Switch is enabled through the Nintendo Switch Online App, we anticipate players needing a convenient, hands-free way to keep their smartphones close and visible while playing. With Clip Grip Power, we’ve created a great way to interact with the app while playing, in addition to a secondary battery source and extra storage space for your game cartridges.

You’re tricks are getting old Thanos, you should lay off while you can.
should lay off while you can ….Like always….you are outdated.
My tricks are getting old? says the “wrong clone-shadow-copypaste idea” From the Commander…:D
I don’t think is shit. I think this is another version of the Joycon grip. Let’s call it Joycon 1.1
Do not invite the wrath of The Commander.
Reminds me of the Moga Power controller.
Hehe. Looks like you’re playing with your smartphone instead of the big screen.
I can only imagine the weight ruining all ergonomics. What a failure.
looks can be deceiving and it may looks like weight may not be the issue but then again it could be a reverse psychology in where it looks like an issue but its not but to throw you off it makes you think its not but it is.
Leave it to Nintendo to give third-party accessory vendors a reason to make this hideous contraption. Reminds me of the Magnifying/light contraption I used on the original Game Boy.
