Yeah, unfortunately it's a different account for different countries. I've got US, UK, and JP accounts now.

This item does not ship to the United States.
I DM'd NOA on Twitter about the Pro Controller and, of course, they didn't respond. It's bullshit, this manufactured scarcity.

I tried on Amazon JP and the order wouldn't go through - canceled it immediately after it went through without explanation. When I tried to re-order it revised quantity to zero citing "limited shipping quantities".
This thing is going to be impossible to find, isn't it?
What earthly reason could Nintendo have to supply constrain their controller?
I went ahead and ordered the Pro Controller from Amazon Japan. I assume it charges through USB C, but does anyone know if it comes with a charge cable? Does the charge grip come with one? Can't seem to find anything.
If it doesn't I am gonna need to pick up a cable or I will have no way to charge the thing.
Cross post!
Thanks.
The Japanese site says both the Charging Grip and Pro Controller include a USB-C cable.
Yay! I appreciate the answer. Costs are adding up quickly I am happy to save a few bucks on the cable.
I read that the Pro Controller had just passed through the FCC and that might account for the hold up in preorders. Wonder if there's any truth to that.
For anyone looking for a source on the above posts, an eagle eyed Redditor scanning FCC filings found NOA only just got clearance on the Pro controller a day ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSw...d_fcc/?utm_source=amp&utm_medium=comment_list
This is the first credible explanation for this insanity, as they can't legally sell in the US without FCC approval.
Really suggests they're rushing this launch out of the gate...
Because everybody reading this thread is in NA.This thread is about Pro controller availability in North America.
What is the force feedback of the Pro Controller like? Does it contain the same haptic feedback as the JoyCon?

Would this maybe have something to do with the recent change of power? I could atleast understand that being the case for a slowdown in approvals. Though maybe something else came up or Nintendo submitted stuff late?For anyone looking for a source on the above posts, an eagle eyed Redditor scanning FCC filings found NOA only just got clearance on the Pro controller a day ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSw...d_fcc/?utm_source=amp&utm_medium=comment_list

And yet that link highlighted the availability of the Pro Controller from Amazon UK, which I'd been waiting for and used to place my order.Where you're reading this from is irrelevant. The topic is still North American availability of the Pro Controller. That's where people can't find them. That's the reason the thread was made.

Thanks.It's supposed to have HD Rumble. I haven't heard much about it aside from that though.

Get over yourself.
Yeah, unfortunately it's a different account for different countries. I've got US, UK, and JP accounts now.

I have the same account for all, and my addresses and payment methods are shared.

Some of you need to take off your tin foil hats for a second. Jumping to conclusions based on a reddit post is ridiculous. We don't know when they filed for approval, how long it takes, whether it was rejected, or anything really. Certainly not enough to imply a rushed launch.

It's not worth getting anyway. From trying it at the Switch event, I found it very "third-party" like, with the feel of it, buttons, see through top casing. The Joy-Cons together felt great, will stick with that. Actually prefer the WiiU Pro Controller over Switch one.

These are fair points, but the fact remains that FCC clearance happening this close to a major company's product launch is unusual. Every piece of hardware with communications/radio tech goes through these hurdles, with the possibilities of rejections and delays - it seems like something unorthodox happened here, based on the admittedly patchy info we have...
It is now on Amazon US. I imagine it will be available soon.

Let's remind everyone not to trust Amazon's "email me" notifications.
Best controller thread I could find.
I have no idea what I bought apparently.
1) What color wrist straps come in the neon Switch bundle?
2) Do wrist straps come with the $80 joy-con set?
