Not even that, I have Nintendo Online and that shit sold out instantly and I never got one. I hope they restock, the SNES controller is my favorite of all time and having an official modern Nintendo one would be so nice.

>>5896057
when it is restocked, should I make a switch account and this card?
is it even possible to make a switch account and sign up for the online membership without the switch console?

Haven't Nintendo been accused of only stocking limited supplies to purposely build up hype since the 80's?

When Nintendo first entered the burger game market, they did it to minimize any losses from the console bombing. They even offered retailers full refunds if the consoles wouldn't be sold.

>>5896064
>is it even possible to make a switch account and sign up for the online membership without the switch console?
You can make a Nintendo account, but whether you can sign up for Nintendo Online without a Switch I don't know.

>>5896078
Christmas 88, Nintendo's peak
that's when i got mine

>>5896064
You could also just find a friend with a switch and have him order one for you.

incentive to subscribe obv

>>5896057
I didn’t even know it went on sale.

>not just playing a real snes

Sega did the same thing with their bullshit online service and their original USB saturn controller reissue.
It was cheaper to buy a mayflash adapter and import a new in box original saturn controller from Japan than to get the official usb controller through official channels.

/v/-tier thread .

Why you here?

>>5896282
just to suffer

>>5896287
Touching. I love it.

>spend $5.99 on Amazon sub
>get free Twitch sub, use it on myself for $4 back
>get free 3 month Nintendo sub, use it to buy controllers
>resell 3 of the controllers for $99 each
Easy every time.

>>5896053
Free Amazon Prime trial means free Twitch Prime trial means free Nintendo Online trial means you get your Goytendo controller, right?

>>5896241
it's cheaper to get a SNES Classic controller ($9.99 from Nintendo customer service tell them your dog ate yours) and either get a raphnet adapter to use it wired, or an 8shitdo wireless modkit (the modkits aren't shit, don't suffer from dpad problems, all they do is make your controller wireless, it feels and behaves the same)

>>5896601>>5896332
nice loophole, but a $100 for this pos?

>>5896053
Why should it be available for other goys like you?

>>5896053
>not buying the superior modern SNES controller

>>5896609
>($9.99 from Nintendo customer service tell them your dog ate yours)
is that available only in the US or in yurop too?

>>5896053
Is this usb/bluetooth or will it be completely usesless when nintendo kills their switch online?

>>5897290
they work offline too, r-right?

What's the point? SNES controller is the progenitor of modern controller layouts, but it's nothing special in this day and age.
The only "throwback" controller I'd spend money on would be something designed after the saturn controller, due to it being the best 2D gaming pad of all time, having six face buttons, that god-tier d-pad, and so on.

>>5896735
shut the fuck up man!!! if people find out how good this controller is the price will skyrocket, it's already hard to find it for less than $30

Is it limited to one per account? Just get someone with an account to buy a bunch and redistribute. Still poor form from nintendo though.

>>5897438
4 per account

>>5896735
It really bothers me that they put the ZL and ZR buttons next to Start and Select. If they either put them on the shoulders or even just put them near the face buttons to create a 6-button layout this controller would be fucking perfect.

>>5897290
>Is this usb/bluetooth
Yes, both. They're as compatible as a Switch Pro.

>>5897431
>god-tier d-pad
>saturn
absolute shit taste

>>5897431
>SNES controller is the progenitor of modern controller layouts, but it's nothing special in this day and age.
I still love how nicely it fits in my hand. I use an SNES controller on every game where I don't need the extra buttons of a modern controller.

>>5897580
>It really bothers me that they put the ZL and ZR buttons next to Start and Select
doesn't bother me since I play retro games

>>5896104

Took you long enough.

>>5897250
don't know. only ever tried in US. call them up and tell them you need to replace a controller cause you stepped on it or some shit. make sure it's your fault it's broken so they don't bother to ask you for your serial number or anything. in the US it was $9.99 plus $5.00 shipping.

>>5897586
How can one post be so incorrect

>>5897437
Sorry collectorfag, diagonals aren't perfect. Real gamers don't want your kiddie shit

>>5897437
glad I got mine when they were $20 new

>>5898094
It's the best dpad I've ever used, straight up. I don't know what your problem is, if I was a collectorfag I would have sprung for the snes controller OP posted but I sure as hell didn't

>>5896053
Just buy one of those 8bitdo controllers if you're desperate for something without analog sticks for some reason.

>>5896053
to make you into a goytendo switch online member

>>5898187
You mean basically every 2d game?
I hope you're not one of THOSE people anon...the kind that use analog sticks on shit meant for d-pads.

>>5896053
just get an actual controller from the 90's and a USB adapter for it like I did

>>5896735
I've been looking at that wondering if it was worth a shit or not.

>>5898195
Link's Awakening is meant for analogue

>>5898401
>recognized by pc without issue
>relatively cheap
>also works with switch online snes/nes
>comfy
literally the perfect controller for emulators

>>5898195
Why would you use sticks when you need a d-pad when you have BOTH available, moron?

>>5896735
is the DX version made differently from the ones released for original pokken? because those were absolute garbage

>>5898768
I never had an original so no idea

>>5896053
Anyone have any experience with this controller? Is this FINALLY a decent modern-production SNES controller, or does it have a shit fucking d-pad like the 8bitdo?

>>5896053
What do you mean, does this fucking controller itself have online only DRM? What kind of fuckery is that?

>>5899356
>does this fucking controller itself have online only DRM?
Of course not, don't be retarded. You can only purchase it if you have a Nintendo Online account, though, so you either have to sign one up or deal with buying from ebay scalpers.

Saturn shits on your pathetic d-pads. GTFO filthy emulator casuals.

>>5898050
>your serial
bless

>>5898050
bless

>>5896615
I was just shitposting, but there are actually a bunch on ebay for 100 now. Yikes.

>>5896053
Do they even give a heads up before it's out?
I can't believe I'm following Nintendo on a shit site like Twitter just to be at the ready for the European release. I'll probably miss it since I'm never on there anyway.
It's way overpriced yet I'm ready to shell out the bucks for it but I fucking can't.
What a terrible way to treat members of your trash online service.

>>5897290
You can use 8bitdo receivers to use it with the S/NES classic as well

>>5896086
Yeah, but it’s a well known fact that they did it with the Wii.

>>5896057
You know the older ones were made in Japan? The new ones are obviously poorly made.

>>5896053
>using goy as an insult
you're either a jew or a retard
goy means NOT JEWISH
it's literally the jews' insult for nonjews

>>5906673
He's saying the jews over at nintendo are insulting us by regarding us as stupid goys who will pay for anything.

>>5906728

>>5906549
>You know the older ones were made in Japan? The new ones are obviously poorly made.
The ones in the SNES Classic were nice and felt just as good as my original SNES controllers did when they were new.

>>5898768
I have the original white version for Wii U, the yellow Wii U version, and the black Switch version. They're all identical. I actually have a black one sealed in box, didn't know they were pricey now.

>>5906673
>>5906732
>seething

>>5898385
this is probably the best controller I have ever owned. still works perfectly 25+ years later

>>5907727
I prefer the grey one, the y and x buttons are concave while the b and a buttons are convex

>>5907745
the concave buttons would always get stuck or mushy/unresponsive feeling

>>5907749
Never had that happen on my SNES pads, and I've had them shits since 1992. Maybe don't grip them with your retard strength so much.
