Switch Online N64 Controller Restock Now Live

@FishyS It takes the pointy heads of 3 decapitated gnomes just to make the handles for a single controller!

I would be interested in Nintendo 64 controllers for the Nintendo 64.

@Jhena you can use them on the Nintendo 64. I do

Meanwhile, still radio silence for these in North America.

Man, I just need one, ONE-

@1UP_MARIO
Cool thanks. Just watched a video about it, and it does not sound too complicated.

Watching the video I realised why the Nintendo 64 is called octo² in Splatoon 3. Octo²=8²= 8x8= 64
It is so simple, and yet I was wondering about it.

As it turns out - I spent more time checking Nintendo's page to find one of these things than I actually do using the controller. It took me over year - sometimes checking the page multiple times a day- to find one.

Once I did - it largely sits there like a trophy no one acknowledges. My kid was organizing our game space just last night to make room for our brand new Series X and she asked if she could put the giant controller away. My response: "It took me a year to get that thing, No." i think she was right and I am dumb.

@OctoCallie20 Just get one of these. You'll love it. I do.

The appearance of these has been so few and far between. I got lucky in the past so that is one less competitor! Good luck to all and scalpers be damned

How many can you buy with one Nintendo account? It seems scalper infected.

It should either be limited to those that subscribe to the NSO Expansion and use the N64 app IMO...

Or... how about... Nintendo, produce MORE!

Last time they were in stock for North America I was able to log on in time... however, nothing I "add to cart" has ever actually gone to my cart. Not just the N64 controllers, anything. Even submitted help requests and gotten nothing. Can't believe I missed out on these because of a dang technical issue. Can't even buy a t-shirt.

Been wanting these in the US since they launched. Beginning to think we will never get them. The switch 2 will be out and more readily available before these things ever are.

Has anyone had issue with these controllers?

Soooooooooooooooooooooo happy, just scored two N64 controllers. Time to play some N64 games on my Switch!!

If anyone in the uk is wanting one they are back in stock now just got an email update from Nintendo

Can't afford one myself right now, but the Netherlands also has them right now! Go grab them if you want them.

Pretty sure I paid a similar price to this for my N64

I wonder wether/if they’ll restock NoE as well…

Should've gotten an email, but thank you NL! Got another set.

It's says I need to be a Nintendo Switch Online account to buy it, WHICH I DO HAVE? No idea what's going on there.

Ha, no reminder email from Nintendo Store, but can't even be bothered to try as got one from eBay in the end after the useless UK Store websh*te Customer Service

@Quarth Lifetime limit of 4 controllers per account.

of course it had to be around the same time where i have to save my money ;-;

@OctoCallie20 Buy from a scalper. Swallow your pride, and support the little guy to go behind Nintendo's backs! Nintendo hasn't been any good, lately, so why give them your money?

Aaaannnd they're gone, hopefully 8bitdo makes one.

@Ruthven or PC doesn't have to be just switch, As far as I know it works on both.

@RadioShadow same, doesn’t work for me even though I have NSO. I guess it’s trying to save me money?

With so little N64 games in Switch Online, it's not really worth it.
I'm glad I sold mine.

@Jokerwolf there's one from Retro Bit. The wireless Tribute 64, it's really good. And you can use it with the OG system and Switch Online.

still available in germany

@Nintendo4Sonic Sweet!

@Jokerwolf
Yeah I could play on a N64 emulator for PC... But I'm a relaxed gamer (or couch co-op) 95% of my gaming is from the couch to console. (Switch & XboxOne currently)

@Ruthven Tablet can also do most emulation.
