Thanks, I already got a new controller in the meantime, though it was ~45 :/.
It was just the worst timing. I panicked when they Mini Nes was officially discontinued and I still didn't have an extra controller. Figured they would only go up in price since they were never restocked since launch and now the whole console was discontinued... so i said fuck it and got one for scalper prices.
Bout a week later they got restocked literally everywhere lol. I even had one in my hand for 15, and was gonna buy it just because it was so cheap. But figured I didn't have any use for it.. already got my controller. It hurt a lot though
.
I wish Nintendo was more upfront about the whole thing. The only reason I bought from a scalper was because they officially discontinued the Mini NES. To me the chances of getting a controller restock are 0% then :/.
