It kinda is
If you have $102 to spare then sure.
I dunno... d-pad's are nice and all but not worth 90+tax lol

Never said it was worth it but I feel that an actual controller will be a must for many of us.
I feel you, mine is "shipping now" (like Gravity Rush lol) expected on Jan30-31...
Both are under priority shipping, pre-ordered last june.
The vast majority will be fine with just the joy cons I expect.

They actually cancelled my Ghost Recon: Wildlands order after several months of me asking them. I was shocked.

That Pro controller is almost half 1/3 the price of the new Pikachu n3DS XL.
People say this all the time but unless you didn't live in Canada you've been able to save 20% to 33% on just about any game on release day...
I think last game I paid full price for was $54.99 for Tales of Zestiria on Steam which was cheaper than the PS4 version because Steam did the conversion very favourably.

U gamepad was unplayable for me. So many missed jumps in mario 3d I blamed the game at first.
Pro controller was 10/10 tier quality. What a huge difference.

Going to trade Star Fox Zero today, couldn't get used to the motion controls and aiming on the gamepad
Not sure why people are having Amazon shipping issues.Can't say I've ever had a shipping issue that was Amazon's fault. I had the post office worker forget to leave a pickup card in my mailbox once. As for recent stuff, I received both Yakuza 0 and RE7 yesterday morning. Unfortunately I don't have the time to play anything until the weekend 
I haven't paid full price for a game in like 6 years. E3 preorder sales at Futureshop (RIP), Best Buy and Amazon have been a blessing, especially with our ever changing dollar.

They still offer extremely good support though refunding shipping charges when they're late, giving me 5$ gift cards as well. It's just stupid that some people get it on time and some don't for no reason.

People complain about it all the time but I've never had issues. Most seem to complain about their shipping dates and that the game didn't ship on release. For that I say, go play something else. I'm sure everyone here has a backlog that'll never be completed in your life time.
I wouldn't care about it if I wasn't paying for priority/express/1day shipping.
It's a matter of principle. I do have a huge backlog. I'm still playing ROTTR, have yet to complete Dishonored2, Titanfall2 and hundreds of others / indies.

Uhh if I pay for Prime I expect them to give me the service I paid for.

For Honor Closed Beta Codes are out! Check your emails!
Yah I wonder if the later shipping dates are a result of late preorders. For what it's worth, I am a firm believer of pre-order everything and sort it out prior to release. During E3,I preorder everything I may have even a mild interest in the moment that the game is announced.
Yah agree completely.

yeah, I saw that I got an invite earlier. Not sure if I'll have time to play it though.

Well pass it along to a Canadian gafer if you don't. I've got the game on order (CDN$ 39.49 after taxes) so it'll be interesting to see how it plays.

What a needlessly antagonistic viewpoint.
People pay for Prime for many reasons, two of the main ones being 2-Day (Release Day) Shipping and Prime Video Game Discounts.
If a person buys a game through Amazon and it says "Get this item on the day it releases, January 20th, 2017" under their shipping option, you better be damn sure that's what they're going to expect, it's what they're paying for.
It also doesn't do anyone any good if your only argument is "Go play something else" - it effects everything, and I'm pretty sure you wouldn't enjoy it if YOUR only option was to just not get any/all games you preorder.
I mean, if you don't get them on release, may as well go play something else right? Not like you wanted that specific game or anything.
People say this all the time and I find it so stupid. I get a lot of enjoyment from talking about media -- especially games, but also tv / movies / books -- with my friends. I'm much more motivated to play something and enjoy something more if I'm doing it when everyone else is, which is usually Day 1.
If you aren't someone who games socially, fine. Buy your games a year later. But don't whine about others who enjoy games differently from you.

the invite is tied to your account. however, you can invite 3 friends to play the beta, but they need to be on your friends list.
edit: for PC that is, i have no idea how it works on consoles

I found the land master controls most frustrating. Otherwise I am trying to complete the game before the end of the week and trade it in towards switch stuff

I had significantly more fun with Guard than the actual Star Fox game included in that package.

Huge backlogs exist because people don't play those games when they buy them.
Currently talking to an Amazon CSR who isn't cluing that my only getting 12.5% off of Gravity Rush 2 instead of 20% off isn't right.
I miss the CSR I got the last two times. She was extremely helpful. >_<
Edit: Alright, CSR escalated it so now I just need to wait.
It's $6, but it's my $6 dangit!
Also while the Pro controller would be nice, I think I'll be fine with the Joycon + Grip for the time being.

Yeah, it came to 56.45 with tax. If you're willing to pay for shipping I can send it out tomorrow as it's waiting for me at the post office. Let me know soon because I'll be returning it tomorrow.
It's not a must have for me -- JoyCon + Grip would suffice for most new games. The only reason I'm getting one is because I hate playing 2D games with an analog stick. So all those indie 2D side scroller type games I want, I'd rather have a dpad but I could live without it.

Amazon hasn't sent me the preorder code for RE7 yet...
I've always had great luck with Amazon but today they fucked up Yakuza 0.
SO excited to come home and play, but it's not here. Says it should be, but it's not. Contacted support and they say it'll be here tomorrow.
Fine, I'll deal with it, but with Prime I should be able to expect day one delivery if that's part of the benefits of paying for Prime.

When I go to accessories or games on BB the pages are just blank now.

My Yakuza 0 said it was delivered 20 minutes ago. The mailman came but there was no Yakuza game there. Wheeeeeeeeeeee

Hold on to your butts folks, shit is gonna get bumpy
What are people looking to get? Other than the official case (which looks worse than the Hori one) everything is available on Amazon, no? Even the Pro Controller.

All I want is a pro controller and the amazon listing says it's currently unavailable soo yup.
a lower priced pro controller hahaha
Will it be cheaper at Best Buy?
Ah, I didn't realize Amazon sold out. Fair enough.

I wouldn't mind a charge grip for mine. Will probably hold off on the dock and extra joycons though and just get an additional switch down the road.($110 dock and $100 joycons and $40 charge grip (Non charge obviously with the base bundle) is only $150 less than a second switch)
