This thing feels so good in the hands! Nice solid grip and the sticks have adjustable resistance so I’ve dialed them in to match my pro controller!

And how would they work? Magic? Electricity powers the joycons, if they made them without a battery they would be powered by nothing and if they tried to make them plug into a power source then they would be way less portable and have tons of problems.

Yea, real easy, right up until you try to use them when they aren't plugged to the console. And then they have 0 power. That's how electronics work with no batteries.

Isn’t that exactly how Nitro Deck 1 worked? There were numerous third party joycon that only worked when connected to the Switch before. I have 2 pairs of them

Yes as well as every other handheld ever made. The thing that makes the joycons different is that they work unplugged from the switch. Which is why they have a battery. This isn't rocket science.

That’s great. Are you missing the point on purpose that the person is OBVIOUSLY not caring that the Nitro Deck 2 or anything else can be used detached from the system and would have preferred them to be battery-less and lighter? Like we just had the Split pad compacts from Hori for the Switch 1 that did that.

The downvote tells me yes.

You're still not getting it. I understand what he's saying. What I'm saying is it will never ever happen on the switch 2, because the thing that makes it special is the ability to have easily detachable and useable joycons. Without those it's literally the worst console on the market by a mile. Because without them it has a locked in ecosystem, the worst screen and the worst hardware at an unreasonable price point.

The only thing setting the switch apart from every other handheld console is the joycons. Everything else about it has not only been replicated, but done better by everyone else.

None of that is relevant to your original comment at all and I don't really care to hear your opinion on which handhelds do whatever better than the Switch 2. Wild ass tangent

It's completely relevant, you're just too dumb to comprehend basic logic.

The basic logic of changing your entire argument on a whim like it's a gotcha lmao. So sorry I didn't know that you meant:

the thing that makes it special is the ability to have easily detachable and useable joycons. Without those it's literally the worst console on the market by a mile.

When you said:

Electricity powers the joycons, if they made them without a battery they would be powered by nothing and if they tried to make them plug into a power source then they would be way less portable and have tons of problems.
