This won't reach NA. They went to all the trouble to make the battery impossible to replace just to make you buy a new controller. No way this will come to the US.

I'm not sure I agree with you but we'll have to wait and see

Do you know how much harder it is to replace a battery on a pro controller for nsw2 VS a pro contoller for nsw? You have basically to dismantle the whole controler joycons included.

I don't understand how that means this won't be sold in the US I'm not disagreeing that it's challenging to replace the battery right now

Why does a corpo go to all the trouble to change a simple design to replace a battery on a controller to make it way harder? Challenging? You mean almost impossible. With all the component there is a high chance to screw up something.

You seem really mad about this. I'm not sure what to say. I hope they bring this design to the U.S.

Mad? How? Because I explain my opinion in a rational way, this make me mad? I hope they bring it to the US too but I won'r keep my hopes up.

Replaceable batteries, Europe only for now. Decades of 50Hz ports later, PAL gets the better version.

옛날에는 배터리 탈착이 당연히 제공되는거라서 배터리 탈착에도 사용자 경험을 우선시한 디자인이 많았는데 이건 뭐... 회사 입장에선 하우징 그대로 놔두고 기판설계를 배터리 탈착 가능하게끔 고쳐야 하는 일이 아닌가 싶어서 팬 입장에서 안타깝긴 함. 다시 배터리 탈착이 기본인 시대로 돌아와야.

I'm kinda glad I didn't get the Switch 2 Pro controller yet. I heard the battery is difficult to replace in the old controller so I'll be getting this one.

Why’d they have to make it look like shit?

you think it looks bad? I think they did a nice job of color matching the screws and both putting the battery door in a place that you won't see while you're holding the controller and putting it somewhere where you won't feel the screw holes or anything overall seems great to me

That looks cool actually like if you are removing a cartridge

Now if the EU could make Sony do this as well, that would be awesome. Because every iteration of fheir controllers sucks AASSSSSSSSS battery wise.

People will see this and still tell you with a straight face that they hate Xbox’s replaceable batteries.

Wow thats certainly appealing only.. Not having Hall Effect sticks puts me off ever buying these. If not the battery the sticks will eventually drift.

Are replacement batteries sold by Nintendo in Europe, or does the consumer have to buy third-party?

This should be standard. All these batteries will go bad
