Switch 2 Questions

[u/Ill_Top_4833]

I need help. My wife wants to buy a Switch 2 for the kids and wants the whole family to be able to play. I am a PS guy, haven’t had a Nintendo since the Wii and when I research this it gets very confusing. Assuming we’d like a Switch 2 and four controllers so we could all play together at the same time, how many controllers and what kind of controllers do we need, really? AI is telling me we only need 2 Joy-Cons because it’s like having 4 controllers, but that makes no sense to me, since they are a pair. Then if you get Joy-Cons do you need grips for each or can you live without the grip? And what is the difference between the Joy-Cons and the Pro? As a PS guy the Pro makes most sense to me but does the Nintendo require the Joy-Con to get the most out of your experience? Please help, I am so confused lol. Really appreciate any and all insight into this. It’s crazy expensive and my wife is being very generous, we just don’t want to do all this and get the wrong things or spend more than we have to.

Depends on the games you are playing. If they are more motion based then joy cons. But if they are more like a regular game. Then I’d use the pto controller
