If you are a fan of retro gaming, you might be interested in the latest news from Nintendo. The company has announced that the N64 controller for Switch is back in stock at the Nintendo store, after being sold out for months.

The N64 controller for Switch is a wireless replica of the original N64 controller that was released in 1996. It features the same analog stick, D-pad, buttons, and triggers as the original, but with added motion controls and rumble functionality. The controller is compatible with the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack service, which allows you to play classic N64 games on your Switch.

The N64 controller for Switch was first launched in October 2021, alongside the Expansion Pack service. However, it quickly became a hot item among nostalgic gamers and collectors and was sold out within hours. Since then, many fans have been waiting for a restock, while others have resorted to buying the controller from third-party sellers at inflated prices.

But now, Nintendo has finally replenished its inventory of the N64 controller for Switch, and you can order one from its official website for $49.99 USD. The controller is available in two colors: gray and translucent purple. However, you might want to act fast, as the demand is still high and the supply is limited. Nintendo has stated that there is a limit of four controllers per customer and that orders will be shipped in late April 2023.

The N64 controller for Switch is a great way to relive some of your favorite gaming memories from the 90s, or to experience them for the first time if you missed out on them. Some of the N64 games that you can play on your Switch with the Expansion Pack service include Super Mario 64, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Mario Kart 64, Star Fox 64, and more. You can also use the controller to play other Switch games that support it, such as Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Mario Tennis Aces.

If you are interested in getting your hands on the N64 controller for Switch, head over to the Nintendo store and place your order before they run out again. And if you are not yet a subscriber of the Expansion Pack service, you can sign up for a free trial and enjoy some of the best games from Nintendo’s history.
