I would have tried the joy cons first before thinking about a pro controller. Jason Schrier tweeted that the Pro controller was pointless and the joy cons in the cradle were better.

Ash from Gamexplain said the Joycons are fine for most of the games.

If you want to play 2D games like Shovel Knight or Street Fighter II the Final Challengers get a Pro Controller.

At the event in New York after the Switch conference all the 2D games you could only play with the Pro Controller.

SUPER MARIO MAKER LEVELS:

  • SMB Mix-Up! (1AB2-0000-0047-5A7D)
  • Storm the Castle (77BD-0000-00E0-A9C0)

Yeah, and I'm still hoping I can just use the 2 Joycons seperately like I could the Wiimote and Nunchuck.  Not having to hold your hands together is just so much more comfortrable.

Hopefully they do a left joycon with a proper D-pad. Or I guess Hori will do a cheap standalone d-pad controller. I bought their GC one for Viewtiful Joe.

I'll definitely be picking up a Pro Controller myself because I want a normal d-pad for fighting games and any of the Virtual Console games that I get.
