SPAWN WAVE: IS THE SWITCH TOO EXPENSIVE?

Kotaku has a nice article on everything we know about the Switch

At launch, you’ll be able to buy one of two different versions: a Switch with grey Joy-Con controllers, and one with multi-colored controllers.
The Nintendo Switch Dock will allow the Switch to plug directly into your TV, using either a separate Nintendo Switch Pro Controller or the included Joy-Con controllers to play it like you would a normal set-top console.
THE CONTROLLERS
The detachable Joy-Con controllers have a pretty silly name, and hopefully we’ll just start calling them Switch Controllers before too long. For now, though, Joy-Con it is. (Per Nintendo, the plural of Joy-Con appears to be “Joy-Con.”)
You can also use a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, which will go for $69.99. You can buy a second set of Joy-Con for $79.99. Individual Joy-Con go for $49.99. They ain’t cheap.
The Joy-Con can be popped off the side of the Switch and used to play two-player games.
Each Joy-Con has a joystick, four face buttons, an accelerometer, and two tiny cute little L and R shoulder buttons.
The right Joy-Con has an AR camera that can tell how far your hand is away from it—for example, it can tell the difference between a hand making rock, paper, or scissors. It also has a NFC reader/writer, which can read Amiibo data. The left Joy-Con has a “capture” button similar to the PS4, which will let you capture screenshots as well as, eventually, video. Both Joy-Con have got some allegedly nifty vibration features, and the Nintendo demonstrator was pretty high on what he called “HD Rumble.”
(BASEMENT NOTE: we think the HD Rumble tech might be why replacement controllers and the pro controller are more expensive than industry standard controllers. Given that, $299.99 is even more reasonable for the console than we originally thought!)
The Joy-Con can be attached to a Joy-Con Strap that slides over the long end, adding a wrist-strap and more prominent L and R buttons. They can also be combined with a Joy-Con Grip in the middle to form a single controller with the same number of thumbsticks and buttons you’d find on a Nintendo Pro Controller.
Nintendo started their games demonstrations with a collection of minigames called 1 2 Switch, which players can play with two Joy-Cons away from the screen.
Arms is a more straightforward Switch exclusive. It’s a fantastical fighting game where players use the controllers to shoot huge, stretchy boxing gloves at one another. It looks very Nintendo, and pretty fun. You can control your punches and even curve long-range punches by tilting and twisting the Joy-Con as you play. You can play online, locally with an extra set of Joy-Cons, and can also play locally with another Switch. Gonna be a lot of sore arms because of this one.
Next we got a look at Splatoon 2, a sequel to the widely loved Wii U multiplayer shooter. You can play the game with the Joy-Con, or with the Switch Pro Controller. It’ll also support gyro controls. This one will also support online multiplayer, as well as local competitive play with other Switch owners. It’ll be out summer 2017.
