Nintendo Online Store - NES Joycon Controllers for $30

teh lurv

CAGiversary!
Note: You can only purchase these controllers if you have a Nintendo Online subscription and if you haven't previously purchased these controllers.

Nintendo is offering the NES Joycon controllers for 50% off. This is a pretty steep discount for Nintendo, so if you've yet to purchase a pair of these controllers this is probably the best price you'll ever get for a pair.

LITERALLY just purchased these a few days ago. Jesus christ
 
With the discount? And if not, that sucks dude. Sadly, I didn't grown up with the NES and the controller is so square. xD Waiting for that SNES controller thou. :)
Full price. I wonder if they'll throw me a bone if I chat tomorrow.

Thank you! Do these operate just like the joycons? Because I was just about to purchase a second pair. Also, any way to get free shipping on these? Thanks again!

 
I placed an order on 12/5 at the sale price. I haven't gotten a shipping confirmation but this is my first time ordering a physical item from the Nintendo store. Do they typically provide tracking info?

It's been a while since I ordered directly from Nintendo but I believe they do..

Heads up for everyone though: USPS/FedEx/UPS all have a notification system you can sign up for to be notified when a tracking number has been generated for your address, so even if a company does not tell you the tracking number (as long as they use tracking anyway) you will be notified that "something" is headed your way.

I bought these at full price a couple months ago fearing they would go OOS or OOP. 

yea im an idiot, havnt opened them yet either.

 
Thanks OP,

I meant to purchase this the first time it came around but now with the discount and the link i can.

 
Wonder if I got the 7 day free Nintendo online trial I would be able to order these?

I'm on the fence on these...I grew up in the 80's and the NES was my first console so I want them for that reason alone.  But I really don't enjoy retro gaming as much as some of my fellow Gen X gamers.    I keep thinking I should just put this $30 towards a pair of real joycons (since I need a second pair right now). 

 
I want the SNES controller.. I'd have to take my case off my Switch or buy one of those joy con chargers that works with the old NES Controllers just to charge them.

I just have to keep telling myself that so I don't impulse buy them.

Honestly, I didn't even get them for the retro games so much as for the D-Pad.

I never realized how much I would miss having one until I tried playing games with the Joy-Con and it's four distinct direction buttons. I have one of the Hori d-pads (thanks, Target Clearance), but that only works in handheld mode, and I play almost exclusively in docked mode. I do have a pro controller, too, but I like having the options.

Plus, I mean, yeah... retro games. This way when I visit my stepson he and I can play Mario 3 with the NES controllers instead of the joycons.

 
I ordered some last year and got another set this year (prob give them to a friend). i ordered them on the 6th (i believe) and my membership expired on the 8th but they still shipped. i plan to renew my membership but not just right now, might have more motivation when the snes controller comes back in stock.

They had SNES controllers?! Where they just like the NES ones... original design, attaches to Switch, play SNES original games?

Dude... Lol. They were a big ass deal lol. They don't attach to the Switch. Just wireless SNES controllers for the Switch. They're super high demand and haven't been in stock for awhile.
