I thought :10bux: also, but it's on sale for $11 and I figured I wouldn't deprive myself for a single dollar so I pulled the trigger. Haven't played it yet.

Because some time, in the next decade, they will release the virtual console. Then you can play games with that nes pad they released, or the new super Nintendo pad.

But wouldn't they want to do a new wireless NES or SNES controller, instead of some jerry-rigged solution to let you use an old wired controller they don't make anymore?

Why has Nintendo not sold some adapter where it has a rail for attaching a joycon and the wiimote port so you can plug in Wii controllers?

The Wii U died hard enough to take all Wii-branding and association with it. Use an 8bitdo pad, they're good

The novelty of Snake Pass is its best feature, and the music's fun too. The pace of the game is slow and chill. I really liked this one

I'm pretty curious what's going on with the new sness pads since the sness mini appears to have OG connectors but Nintendo's product page says the console is compatible with wii classic controllers

It's a false front that flaps down to reveal the classic Wii connection ports.

Yeah, folks if you want one, istocknow.com is very accurate, at least in my experience. You have to be ready to act though. When I saw two pop up at a local Walmart, I called quick to confirm they did have two, then left to get it. By the time I got there one was already gone and the other one I bought.

If you live in or near a large city and you're ready to act, you can get a switch pretty quick with that site.

Amazon has not had any Switches in stock themselves in about six weeks now. What the hey guys, make a queue system already.

I had one in my cart on Amazon last week and they increased the price to $410 so I decided to get one from Gamestop instead. Total bullshit

That was the cheapest price that someone (i.e. the dreaded scalper) was pricing it at, not Amazon increasing the price

It's not always super obvious that it is a third party seller. Especially if it's fulfilled by amazon and it says Prime on it.

The crazy thing is when I checked even the scalpers are "in stock July 2." Like the damned scalpers know when they're getting a shipment in and Amazon is still all :shrug: about when their own drat warehouse will get them in.

If I were a conspiracy theorist, I'd wager they turn a blind eye because they get more playing middleman than they do as a first-party seller. If I were a conspiracy theorist.

I don't understand all of the scalper deniers in this thread. They definitely exist and they don't need a logical reason to keep on doing their thing once they latch onto it.

poo poo, my local Walmart has a couple of different guys that to this day head in and buy several thousand rounds of ammo every single week because they want to resell it when Obama takes the guns away. Now extend that same kind of mental illness to an item where you only have to buy 3-5 of them to gently caress over everyone else in town.

I call it a Snezz but I had a Mega Drive instead of one of those crappy things so whatever.

Real Nintendo fans call it a Super Famicom anyway.
