Yeah, it was a novelty when the Switch came out, but how often do those crappy little joycons actually get used separated? Anyone who's planning to play local multiplayer a lot will have multiple regular controllers.

They suck seperated. They're extremely tiny.
I think you're right. Anyone that cares is going to have a better controller available.

I use an 8bitdo controller for both my Switch and the Deck.
