The Switch Doesn’t Have Hidden Fees

The Switch is not as expensive as most outlets are making it out to be. Far too many sites are claiming that the Switch has a ton of hidden fees and will end up costing you over $700 which is totally ludicrous and completely untrue.

The Switch is $299.99 (in the US). Period.

Just because the system is launching with a ton of add-ons and accessories does not mean the price of the system is increased. All of the extras are completely optional. Do you want a Pro Controller? Cool! Buy one! Don’t need an extra dock? Okay, don’t get it. It’s not a tacked on price that’s required by Nintendo that you purchase every available accessory at launch. Not to mention you can play 2-player games right out of the box at no additional cost thanks to the versatility of the Joy-Con.

An argument could be made that the system is actually $359.98, because what is the system without any games? That’s an expected cost though, not a hidden cost. I’m sick of gaming journalists trying to get clicks to their content by making up shocking headlines or articles. While all of this info may be painfully obvious to some, I wanted to educate the few that may not know to help save your wallets.

The cost of all your Switch launch day goodies can add up extremely fast, so make sure you need certain accessories before pulling the trigger and getting a bunch of things you’ll never need.

This has been your dose of financial advice from someone who has no business telling you how to manage your finances.

What Switch Accessories Should I Get?

We’re always here for you, with the hardest of hard questions, like… to Charging Grip, or not to Charging Grip?


Switch. A new console, a new frontier, a new lifestyle. With the console come many choices for games and accessories, and you might be left wondering what you need, what you might want, and what you should leave alone for some other chump to buy. Simeon and Scott are here for you to sort it all out – you gotta go into launch with a plan and know exactly what you’re walking out of that store with. Lets. A. Go!
