They've been "in stock" for a while, the listings are from scalpers at $100 markup.

Got a Switch, Splatwon, and Puyo Puyo Tetris coming my way sometime in the next week oh god oh god oh god

Controllers aren't covered by GCU anymore though, boo. Guess I will have to get a Pro one from Amazon and use my reward bucks there.

Has anyone tried these things? Do they make the joycons any more comfortable to use?

Guys Switches went back in stock at Amazon and Best Buy today, and didn't immediately sell out. Nintendo is doomed again.

more controller questions:

Should I hold out for this? on the one hand it's wired and I haven't had a wired controller since the PS2, on the other hand it's half the price of the official. But Hori is supposed to be the quality third party manufacturer, right?

No nfc, rumble, or gyro either. It's half priced because it's missing most of the features.

You probably don't want a wired controller in this day and age, plus it has no gyro or anything.

I would suggest seeing how you get on with the joycons + grip. I find it comfortable enough to play with. If you're feeling the need for a new controller, grab the official Pro.

If you're concerned about hand size or whatever, just get the official Pro Controller. It's nice and comfortable (I got the Splatoon-themed one today myself) and the buttons are much bigger than on the JoyCons.

I kinda think they should've padded the initial map count with a few more classics from the first game because the rotations occur every two hours instead of four, but the new ones are just great across the board.

Why they put Moray Towers in the launch lineup, or kept it at all, is beyond me though.

I have these, yeah I bust them out for multiplayer. Definetely worth it. They feel good. The only downside is that it only works to press the inside half of the triggers (towards the center of the controller). Pushing along the outside edge doesn't work. But once you tell your dumb friends that, they get it.

Nintendo is so backwards. They make fantastic games, which is pretty hard to do, but mightily gently caress up their voice chat functionality, which should be way easier to do.

as a former long-time team fortress 2 player, i'm not used to the maps getting BETTER over time

Do you guys get better results calling into Amazon to receive credit for late items rather than through their chat? Chat people are being super stingy only offering me 1 month of prime or a $7.25 credit. Splatoon 2 WHENNNN Amazon.

edit: calling in works best

Splatwon is great. I'm glad there's a PvE mode now. I'm having more fun with that than I am Turf War. I had already traded Splatoon 1 away by the time it got its new modes, though, so I've yet to try those...
