The most popular controllers and Joy-Cons sell out in minutes. Keep checking back to catch one in stock.
It's incredibly exciting whenever Nintendo releases a new limited edition Pro Controller or Joy-Con. The only problem is that they sell out really fast, so only the quickest fans can usually get their hands on them. We know how frustrating that is, so we're here to help. Here's where to find and purchase the hottest limited edition Joy-Cons and Pro Controllers.
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.

Should I get Joy-Cons or a Pro Controller?
Joy-Cons and Pro Controllers both have their merit. Joy-Cons are great when playing party multiplayers or when traveling since they can function as one controller or separated for two. The Pro Controller is preferred for playing competitive games or single-player adventures. Both gamepads feature the same buttons, motion controls, rumble, and amiibo scanning.
Of course, your Nintendo Switch comes with one set of Joy-Cons. If you're mostly going to play on your home connected to a TV, you really ought to consider getting a Pro Controller as it feels better than the smaller Joy-Cons.
How to scan amiibo with Joy-Cons or Pro Controller
The NFC reader is located in different places depending on if you're using a Joy-Con or a Pro Controller. If you're using Joy-Cons, you'll need to scan the amiibo over the right joystick. If you're using a Pro Controller, hold the amiibo over the Nintendo logo in the center.
Just make sure the game you are using is compatible with amiibo and that you are in the right menu to start the scanning process. Additionally, most third-party controllers do not support amiibo scanning. You'll need to check the listing to see if this feature is offered.
