In case you thought the Joy-Con motion controls on the Nintendo Switch were necessary to play ARMS, the wacky boxing launch title for the platform, then don’t worry. Nintendo has confirmed that it can be played with normal controls as well.

This was confirmed on a recent Nintendo Treehouse livestream (via GameSpot) when Nintendo localization producer Morgan Ritchie stated that “It’s important to point out that [we’ve] been playing with the Joy-Con – one in each hand – using motion controls. But obviously if you’re a purist and you like button controls, [and] you’d rather use a more traditional controller, you can of course do that as well.”

Nintendo’s manager of product marketing JC Rodrigo further confirmed this.

If you’re not a fan of the Joy-Con, don’t want to bother with motion controls or hand them off to another Switch user, then this is good news. How the experience will differ remains to be seen but we’ll find out when ARMS launches with the Nintendo Switch on March 3rd.

Nintendo spent quite a bit of time going into detail regarding the Switch’s controller, namely the slide-on Joy-Con that can either attach to the sides of screen or detach and act as smaller motion controllers. All that technology isn’t cheap though – according to Nintendo’s site, a single Joy-Con controller will cost $50.

It would be cheaper to go for a pair at $80 but that’s still a fairly steep price, even if each Joy-Con is a standalone controller. The Switch Pro Controller, a proper gamepad of sorts for playing at home with, is also pretty costly at $70.

If that weren’t enough, the Switch Dock is for $90. The message is pretty clear: Don’t break any of this stuff if you can help it.

The Nintendo Switch is out on March 3rd worldwide with games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and 1 2 Switch launching alongside it. What are your thoughts on the controller prices? Let us know below.
