To everyone looking to Amazon for pre-orders/early release, what's being sold might not be the actual console. Check the Edition and Description before buying it.

$300 NES Classic Controller, it comes up as the default product when looking to buy the console because the console is not available yet. Don't be fooled, wait until 2pm PST when the console becomes available.

I can't even order a controller, and that page is up and says IN STOCK. But every time I add it to cart, it doesn't work.

The item page is pretty much the pleb link. This link is how people got them. When they are in stock, Amazon will be top of the list. I learned this from the Amiibo wars. Unfortunately I then forgot about it until it was too late this time around.

Yeah, I feel pretty confident in saying that the employees set consoles aside, which I guess I can't be that pissed about because I did it too once (but not on a super hot item like this, just on a game we only got a few copies of at the store).

It would be nice to get one of these, but I really just want the controllers, which are also sold out everywhere and going for $600 on Amazon.ca at the moment since I already have an awesome modded Wii that I've put a lot of time into and has way more than 30 NES games. I want that controller though for authentic feel. Oh well, I'll get my hands on one soon enough, it's just like amiibos.

Can you link to the product page for the controller you go? Is it this one? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JT77EDK/

So I spent quite a while on this for myself last year, and after a bit of searching, my conclusion was that the best experience will be to buy these three things together:

  1. Official Nintendo NES Classic Controller
  2. 8BitDo Mod Kit for NES Classic Controller
  3. 8BitDo NES Retro Receiver

    8BitDo's DIY line are fantastic, and as best I can tell are the only way to get an original form factor wireless controller for the NES.

    Nintendo also sell modern wireless NES controllers, but they have extra buttons and rails for connecting to the Switch, which I think ruins the look.

    8BitDo also sell the n30, but those aren't styled like the NES controller and have extra buttons.
