Gotta link for that? Searches turn up nothing.
Edit: NVM, found it, fucking A it's down again!

I don't think it went up. It's been up as a product listing since yesterday, but always showing currently unavailable.

https://smile.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B01NAWKYZ0?tag=viglink20241-20

It said available for preorder, then clicking on it went to Unavailable. What the hell...

Oh, in that case maybe they're getting ready to make it go live. I'll keep refreshing periodically then.

Got it. It says Currently Unavailable, but there's also a link to 1 New. Click on the 1 New, and it'll show that Amazon is a seller for availability. Go through that, and you can preorder.
Click on "1 New from 69.99" right below the listing.
Yep, saw that afterwards.

I think I just got my preorder in.

Go here:
https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B01NAWKYZ0

It says out of stock, but looks like there's a 3rd party seller that has one:

After clicking that link you'll see the 3rd party seller is Amazon, and you can put in a preorder.

edit: looks like there's a preorder button in the normal place now

Yeahhhhhh boyyyyyyy

Now I'm all set for launch day...finally. Pro Controller was a big must so I'm glad I got an order in before they inevitably sell out for eternity. Good luck everyone.

GOT ONE!

Now to keep an eye on Best Buy. I have my preorder there, so if I can get my Pro Controller there, I'd rather do that instead to have everything Day 1.

Got one secured. Despite the outrageous price I'm really excited to get my hands on it (and all Switch stuff, of course)

Nah, the Switch itself and copy of Zelda I have ordered both list a guaranteed date of March 3rd.

I believe they've tended not to do release day delivery on accessories in the past.

So worst case scenario is probably it shipping on the 3rd which would get it to Prime members on the 5th if they're in an area with Sunday delivery, or the 6th otherwise I'd guess.

I'm fine with that, I can use the JoyCon and grip for a couple of days if need be. I just didn't want to be messing with moving the JoyCons back and forth to charge longterm, and wanted a controller with a true dpad for VC stuff and SFII eventually.
 
I really mostly just dont want to have to remove the JoyCons. This way I can just play with pro controller at home and then just undock on my way to work. And of course simply dock again when I get home. Etc.

I actually typically get accessories on release day when ordering from Amazon prime. Specifically nintendo stuff.

Thank you GAF. Got my pre-order in and now my Switch launch should be complete. Can't wait. Only 5 weeks to go.

Do we know if the face buttons ABXY are larger on the Pro compared to the JoyCon? They look bigger.
