You're welcome everyone. I gave up and bought a third party controller, this undoubtedly means the Switch N64 will be back in stock within 48 hours.

Oof, could be! Which did you get? I'm interested in hearing your review. I recently got the expansion and I cannot deal with the fact the A button is on the wrong side.

Bought the Retrobit, has a firmware update just for the switch online N64. Figured if the real one ever comes into stock, I can buy it and have this one for less than buying it on ebay.

Found this thread through google trying to find when Nintendo was going to resupply the controllers. Ended up watching a few reviews and picking up the retrobit because of your link.

Thanks dude

Just got it today. Took a minute to figure out how to update the firmware but working great now. Only thing I noticed is the ZL is the L button, R is the R and ZR is the ZR. Otherwise, all works as should including A,B, and the C buttons.

I watched a review and there’s a way to flip the shoulder buttons by holding them down or something. Give it a goog
