The REAL COST of Nintendo Switch?

Thanks for saying that bit at the end. When the Xbox One launched, IT didn't come with any games or peripherals besides the Kinect no one wanted, and had a 500GB hard drive which nowadays holds maybe 10 current-gen AAA games.. I don't see why everyone's complaining about how much everything for the Switch costs.

watching this from aus and crying as to how much more ive already spent on this thing

what their offering just doesn't add up close to the overall cost. but that's just one consumers opinion. 

Mica's tank top is pretty awesome, or on fleek as the kids would say.

Not sure if I'd really characterize any of these as "hidden" costs. As expensive as the extras are, they seem pretty up front about it, and are all optional to begin with. Games, extra controllers, and extra cables are pretty much the norm for any console. The usb-c thing's obviously an upgrade in capability, and they've provided everything that they always have for it (a wall plug) already. I'm not sold on the idea of the necessity of case, screen-protector, or extra storage yet, but time will tell.

Mica's playing Botw right now!! let her not play on release day stream!!

100 more reasons for me not to.... switch. xD

Oh my god I didn't know about the controller thing! Welp, guess thats another $40 day one. Your crazy if you think I'm going to switch (pun intended) to portable mode while playing BOTW. Ill only do that while I take a shit.

A small "unhidden" cost: Both the Pro Controller and the Charging Grip come with a USB-C cable, so if you were planning on getting one/both of those then you don't need to worry about getting a separate cable as you'd be able to use the one that comes with those controllers.
