Topic: Splatoon 3 pro controller pre order?

I live in the U.S., and I am looking for the Splatoon 3 pro controller, but best buy and GameStop both say coming soon. Does that mean it is out of stock or that pre orders are happening yet. Has anybody from the US been able to pre order from and American retailer? (Not imported) Thanks!

I've also been keeping an eye out for one as well. (I picked up the Splatoon 2 Switch Pro Controller at launch and have been meaning to get another pro controller for playing with friends.)

..anyways, according to the announcement article, the Splatoon 3 Switch OLED releases on August 26 and the carrying case Switch Pro Controller, & game launch on September 9. No mention of pre-order windows unfortunately.

AFAIK GameStop told me it's first come first get unless you can get someone there to save one for you if you can guarantee you'll be there to get one. But that's a big if. I got one PreOrder from Amazon EU but that's the only preorder I've seen so far.

@SwitchForce knowing it’s first come first serve really helps. The worst part was not knowing if I was going to miss the pre order. Thanks so much!

Hope I am wrong if one can get the store preorder that would make my day.
