The controllers are priced at $29.99 each, plus an extra $5 for shipping, with a limit of four per MyNintendo account. They’re set to begin shipping tomorrow, September 18.
The SNES controllers are completely wireless and come with a USB charger, though they can be charged using the Nintendo Switch AC adapter as well.
Unlike the NES controllers released last year, these don’t slide onto the Joy-Con rails though — which is sort of okay, because that feature had no practical purpose anyway, even if it did look nifty.
However, since beginning this article and reaching the second paragraph, the product page shows the items are temporarily out of stock. There’s no estimated restock date, though, at the very least, Nintendo’s record with the SNES Classic Mini shows it’s (presumably) learned its lesson about demand for retro goods, especially after the fiasco that was the NES Classic Mini’s stock situation.
We’ll update accordingly if there’s any word about restocks or anticipated shortages.
