One aspect that has sparked discussion among the community members is the native camera accessory that is now available separately. During pre-orders, retailers have reported demand for these accessories, especially for the camera. However, it has a different side as well.
Aside from games like Mario Kart World and a few other titles, there’s no evident requirement for GameChat and photo mode. For instance, players who are interested in game streaming have the utility of a camera to enrich the experience. However, for casual players, it doesn’t matter much.
The most compelling addition is the renewed Pro Controller. Currently, this controller is priced around US$84, and it elevates the comfort across different aspects: improved grip, customizable back buttons (GL/GR), smoother analog sticks, and amazing build quality.
Reddit users accurately echo this sentiment in their acknowledgment of the controller. Some players mentioned, “It’s a very minor upgrade…if money is no issue, it’s a nice premium feeling controller that I would prefer to use over the original.”
Maintaining the same tone, others stated, “Out of all my controllers…this one has the best analog sticks…Hands down even better built.”
Now, if the dilemma is whether it’s worth paying full price, then it needs some discussion. If you have a Switch console and a Pro Controller, you can pass this opportunity. The improvements are indeed elegant, but not game-changing. On the contrary, if someone has never owned a Switch console before and has no Pro Controller, this upgrade is justified.
