Nintendo Switch Reviews: 12 Critical Reactions You Need To Know

7. The Pro Controller Is Definitely Worth Buying

"For a full-fledged, traditional gaming controller, the Switch's Pro pad really is the way to go. Sadly, it is another expensive Switch accessory, but you do get a proper d-pad this time and a larger battery rated for 40 hours while the analogue sticks are larger and more accurate...In short, this is the real deal. If you're planning on using the Switch as a docked home console, and if you can take the price, the Pro controller comes highly recommended." - Eurogamer

"I also highly recommend getting a Switch Pro Controller, which costs $70...The Pro Controller...makes it much easier to use the Switch to 'switch' seamlessly. You pop the console into its dock, pick up the controller, and play. If you want to take it on the go, pop it out and you’re ready to rock. Without a Pro Controller, you have to disassemble and reattach the controllers each time you go from TV to mobile, as well as anytime you want to charge the Joy-Con. It significantly slows down an otherwise pleasingly snappy process." - Kotaku

You're going to pay through the nose for it, but can you really put a price on comfort when you're going to be pouring hopefully hundreds of hours into your Nintendo Switch?

The Pro Controller plays like a dream according to just about every outlet that was lucky enough to receive one, and that's hardly surprising considering how much more ergonomic it looks, free of the design challenges associated with the Joy-Cons.
