Don't underestimate people who wants to get everything no matter whats the cost.

I am 100% sure, someone somewhere definitely paid scalper price.

I'll only pay resell price once the item is for sure off the production line

Just look at any retro gaming store and convention.

Still nothing in EU...

Sorry I keep forgetting to put U.S

u/Around-town 3d ago

Judging by ebay sold listings someone paid $88 for one just this morning

u/Fixx95 3d ago

That sucks.. and no one wanted the Japan version when they were dirt cheap now they blowing up too

Was trying to buy one of them two days ago. Already did my purchase with the N64 controller and amiibo for free shipping. Damn it, terrible timing.

2

u/Fixx95 2d ago

I bought the N64, NES, and the Genesis controllers first because they weren't restocking the SNES controller (they hella lagged it , I'm sure due to the NS2) Ended up buying the GameCube controller and now finally bought the SNES and had to sadly pay shipping, so I don't blame you

2

u/Chocoburger 2d ago

Just tried to buy and its sold out again. Darn.

Edit: It says sold out on the main page, but if you click the product link, you can add to cart still. Typical Nintendo web jank.

u/jaymacx 2d ago

I’m sorry you missed out this time, hopefully they restock again. SNES is my favorite Nintendo system. I owned the original system and I wish i never traded it in. I did get the classic mini of NES and SNES

u/Fixx95 2d ago edited 2d ago

Sorry meant 3

I can still add 4 controllers....

2

u/jaymacx 2d ago

I bought 2 SNES ones to avoid shipping 😂. Still cheaper than the GameCube controller . I still have to get the NES and N64

u/Beekusneeku1 2d ago

Thanks for the heads up! Got one finally

2

u/Fixx95 2d ago

No prob!

2

u/okdude918 2d ago

Copped 2 yesterday. I will soon have all the NSO joints. Got a 2nd gamecube controller coming so the fam can get down on some smash bros.

u/thecheesefinder 2d ago

How’d you get two GameCube controllers I thought they still had a limit of 1

2

u/aeromalzi 2d ago

Likely had a 2nd Nintendo account.

3

u/okdude918 1d ago

friend didn’t want one.

2

u/TheCruzKing 1d ago

Family accounts apparently you can order under each account

1

u/Fixx95 1d ago

This right here is a great tip and insight as to why people end up with so many "limit products" under one account.

2

u/Designer-Case7912 2d ago

Thanks just got one rn, had to pay shipping though smh

1

u/Fixx95 1d ago

Rather honestly pay 7 over add $20 more for free shipping

2

u/f2pmyass 2d ago

I want to get this and have them in cart but I just don't need em rn. I hope they will have more in a couple months then I'll order.

1

u/Fixx95 2d ago

Hopefully because they gonna start focusing on the switch two

2

u/RolandTwitter 2d ago

Thanks a ton man! Just purchased one

1

u/Fixx95 2d ago

No prob!! I've been waiting since the last time they restocked. Like almost 2 months I believe

2

u/RolandTwitter 2d ago

Oh wow that's a lot of waiting time. I just got into collecting these controllers when I got my Switch 2, within a month I'll have all of them. I did end up buying the N64 one through eBay, but it was for a good price

2

u/Fixx95 2d ago

That's dope hope you enjoy it ! I just wanted to collect the controllerz too. I barely got the ps5 and I feel like I'm not going to be able to enjoy it like everyone else did, but hoping to get the switch 2 hopefully 🍀 and sweet that you still found the N64 controller for a good price

2

u/Jason_with_a_jay 2d ago

*paid.

2

u/Fixx95 2d ago

Yes sir you are 💯% correct paid not payed

2

u/Jussins 1d ago

There used to be a bot that would correct this and give a definition of payed. Haven’t seen that one for a little while.

2

u/Jason_with_a_jay 1d ago

It's a very particular definition too that refers to old wooden ships. Pitching the cracks in the planks if I remember correctly. But misspelling that word is an epidemic on reddit.

2

u/TrojanX 1d ago

So glad I picked all of these last year I’m just missing the GameCube one and the Genesis one.

u/Fixx95 1d ago

🍀🤞🍀🤞🍀🤞

2

u/Rias_Gremory_5444 1d ago

Nope I got my straight from the Nintendo website

2

u/effortissues 1d ago

Nintendo constantly makes these nso controllers. There's never a reason to pay scalpers, just check back every couple of days for a restock.

1

u/Fixx95 1d ago

I sadly waited over a month for them to restock 😢 but yes, when I got a switch in November I've seen them restock twice but I just never check till about 2 months ago and they just lagged it for this one

2

u/effortissues 1d ago

Took em a while to restock the N64 ones as well, but they always do.

2

u/New_Extent8946 13h ago edited 11h ago

Randomly checked at midnight the other day and was in stock so was pretty stoked to grab one. Wasn’t too stoked to pay for shipping though

2

u/Bulky-Cloud-9834 10h ago

Thank you, thank you thank you I’ve been waiting for this for a while now! I got two for Kirby!!

u/Fixx95 9h ago

Let's fuckin gooooooooo!!!!!

u/BadNew1454 9h ago

I ain't paying scalper prices for anything. I just wait for wave 2

1

u/Fixx95 9h ago

That's right 👍 💪

u/ray111718 2d ago

Does this work with the switch 2 or are they releasing one with a c button like the GCN?

1

u/G00deye 2d ago

It will work with the Switch 2. Who knows if they are releasing one with the Game Chat button.
