When do retailers release new Joy-Con and Pro Controller stock?
Whenever a brand new Switch accessory is announced, Best Buy is typically the fastest store to get a purchase page up for it. Other important places to check are GameStop, Target, and Amazon. Special edition Nintendo items tend to sell out fast, so you ll want to have your credit card handy and pounce on any available inventory. Different retailers will restock at different times, so you ll just have to be watching to catch one at a good time.
Unfortunately, there are plenty of scalpers and scammers out there. So only purchase from credible sellers on well-known sites to keep you and your wallet safe. When controllers sell out, their value goes up, and they often sell for much more than their MSRP.
