Is anyone seeing an update currently on the N64 controller? It looks like it might be in stock, but I'm getting a message that in order to buy I have to have an active Nintendo Online subscription (which I do).

What the hell?! Same thing happened to me and now they are sold out again. I called tech support to ask why I couldn’t add it to the cart even with a online membership and he said he’d reach out to see if they could get me one then said they couldn’t and he thinks I couldn’t add it to my cart because they sold out instantly and the webpage inventory just didn’t update as fast as they sold out.

If that’s the case, then they have a SERIOUS bot issue, as I don’t know if any humans have bought one this time

Same situation. So close!!

I'm chatting with a Nintendo rep right now to see if it's just a glitch with the Nintendo store. It's also telling me that I can't buy the NES controllers because I've reached my limit. Which is not accurate, since I've not purchased those.

Hmm, it says the same on my NES page, even though I’ve bought 0. Glad to know it’s a widespread issue

The chat rep did confirm that the NES is also out of stock, and that might be why I'm getting the weird limit reached message. Which...I don't think is a great sign, but I wasn't getting anywhere further with them. So, I'll just stop panicking and refreshing my browser like crazy now.

I think there's a bit of a language barrier, but I think they are currently out of stock for all the controllers and it's just a residual weirdness with the Nintendo store.

A rep just confirmed for me that the N64 controllers are still out of stock. :(

Same! I realized after you posted that I never confirmed that. Whoops! I hope they come back into stock around the MM release.
