Nintendo Switch’s Bundled Joy-Con Grip Won’t Charge the Controllers
Whether this is a problem depends on how you plan on using your console. According to the Joy-Con controller’s product description, battery life is expected to be around 20 hours (conceivably four times the battery life of the Nintendo Switch itself). Additionally, docking your Nintendo Switch to play it on the TV will require charged controllers. So if you see yourself going 20 hours in docked or tabletop mode without taking time to charge, investing in the Charging Grip is in your future.
However, if you want to be able to charge the Joy-Con controllers on the go, it requires sinking $29.99 into the premium accessory. Nintendo Switch (and all its accessories) launch on March 3, 2017.

This is saddening but not a problem if you want to play on the go often just invest in the charging ones

Every time I see news about this it seems like it's getting worse and worse, Glad I'm not buying one i had thoughts about it but it's a no from what I've seen lately.

Yeah looks like a cool system but like I've said before everything seems way overpriced to me. It seems like their trying to overcharge on almost all their products for this.

I honestly don't see this as a problem. Why did people just assume it charged?
I'm still looking forward to playing the Switch soon!
