If they haven't cancelled it yet and you don't mind waiting, it might get fulfilled from finding one at one of their stores and shipping it to you still. It's happened to me with harder to find items.
Just picked up the Pikachu controller at my local GS. Got to play Mario kart 8 with my wife without resorting to single Joycons or shelling out for another switch controller.
Yeah, the Pokken Pad only works because Nintendo intentionally whitelisted it. No other Wii U/Wii controller works on the Switch right now.
Though, as someone else in this thread said, I wouldn't be surprised if down the line we see some third party wired controllers hack in Switch compatibility by spoofing the hardware ID of the Pokken Pads.
Both the yellow and white controllers just arrived yesterday. Work perfectly as Pro controllers and feel great. No issues with the online order in my case.
