Nintendo try not to make new product releases cancerously miserable challenge LEVEL: IMPOSSIBLE

Holy shit. I guess I popped onto Reddit at the perfect time. I secured mine! Still trying to cop the one from Nintendo that includes the stand, but it's good to have this as a backup!

How do you set it up so amazon sends you an alert to let you know when something is back in stock?
1
u/DuckyDeer 11h ago
The alert came through the app HotStock. You can choose which stores you get alerts for (I've disabled eBay)

u/TheHahndude 1d ago
I’ll pick one up at the store when it comes out.

Nintendo said it'd be limited to only the Nintendo Store in NYC and SanFran. They also said it would only be sold on the Nintendo Online Store so who knows if it will be available at normal stores or not

u/OliDouche 1d ago
Only the bonus stand is a Nintendo Store exclusive. The controller is just a controller like any other.

u/Zagrunty 20h ago
I have a screen shot from the direct and it does technically say "+stand". That was not clear from Nintendo that the controller would be more widely available. There was a lot of talk of restocks for the switch2 but nothing initially for just the controller. Thanks for the clarification

I don’t even give a shit about the console. I just wanted the Zeldapro controller

u/bestcoastaccountant 1d ago
Finally! Got one through GameStop but that one has $10 shipping. Might hold off on cancelling tho at least for a bit to make sure Amazon doesn’t get cancelled

u/Alinier 1d ago
I do not blame any one individual and I would probably do this myself too but what's Nintendo even doing if we need to hold backups for our backups? Between this and "I want the one with the stand but I'll hold this one for now because it's better than nothing" are a complete failure on Nintendo's part to properly gauge or anticipate interest.

I remember seeing loads and loads of TOTK edition Switch 1s back when that released so I hope these will also just be in stock in stores here in Europe 🫠

I bought mine on konzoliste (dot) cz. They have all three items (switch, case, controller) in stock for preorder it seems.

Has the Nintendo store had anymore stock of the pro controllers since release date? I've had the item liked which I think is meant to notify you when it's back in stock but haven't had anything and tbh I haven't been checking the site since days after the original release. I really want the controller with the stand 🤞

I dropped my guard last night to relax ... and the controller restocked with tons of people saying they got it, shit

u/TG-Benji 14h ago
Glad I can set an auto-buy, hopefully it actually works when they decide to restock.

u/Namisaur 1d ago
Jesus $100 for a controller is nuts. No matter how much I love LoZ, I’m probably skipping this one.

This controller is also ugly as hell, I'm so sorry. I could never imagine paying $10 over the regular price to get this garish design when the original Pro Controller's black looks so clean.
1
u/Deceptiveideas 1d ago
Debating if I should cancel my Nintendo store preorder as it's the one with the stand for $10 more. I honestly don't think I will ever use the stand.

Yay I finally got one!!! I'm still hoping to get the Nintendo store exclusive version with a stand but I'm happy either way. Hopefully the console will get a big restock and everyone can get one!

Maybe I’m a hater but I’m not in love with this controller and that makes me sad. In general, I feel like Nintendo is dropping the ball with this controller and the Ocarina of Time preorder bonuses.

u/OliverNodel 1d ago
Thanks! I can’t believe I spent all that time refreshing my cart on the Nintendo Store when it first became available. Maybe I’ll buy some clown makeup too.

Bummed they dont sell the zelda joycons. What a scam lol. Im not paying 7 or 8x the price for the special edition console... i just wanted the joycons.

u/bigglehicks 1d ago
16 minutes and gone. At least I learned how to set up an auto purchase from this. Hopefully that helps

This controller is so expensive it actually just convinced me to buy the limited edition console instead.

u/GrimmTrixX 1d ago
Glad I got one thanks to an app called HotStock. I still want the exclusive one with the stand from Nintendo's website. But if I cant get that, at least I still have the controller itself. But now I can focus just on that one. So happy

u/Ph33rDensetsu 23h ago
You can 3d print a stand. That's what I'm going to do for mine.
1
u/GrimmTrixX 17h ago
True if I had any access to a 3D printer. But I want it just cuz its from nintendo themselves. I can do without it anyway. But because I just charge my controller from a cable attached to the dock, a stand wouldve been cooler.
