NYC Nintendo store only allows you to buy one…for a console made for 4 players.

Probably limited stock
Probably do to scalpers. They’ve done a lot to ruin gaming lately.
That rule is probably the only reason you were able to buy one
They can’t really win here. Nintendo either let all their stuff get scooped up by scalpers 15 seconds after release, leaving nothing for anyone else or they can limit their supply to 1 per person, which also has issues, like this. Personally I think limiting to 1 per person is the lesser of two evils.
Grab the other 3 players and you all buy one…
They understand that most gamers don’t have 3 friends to invite over to play games.
so send some friends in with money after you
Look them up on eBay and you’ll understand why
that’s because most people aren’t going to play with them, they’re going to sell them on ebay
Just because you can have 4 players, doesn’t mean it’s made for 4 players. Infact, I’d argue it’s obviously made for one.
I can’t believe scalpers are really selling these for more than the original price . Reasons why we can’t have anything nowadays .
If they only have a limited amount it’s only fare to give ad many people as they can a chance to get one. That and the shear amount of people that like to buy up entire supplies to resell them online at a 200 to 500% increase kind of ruined it for other people. Seriously ad someone thats trying to collect Trading cards it’s so frustrating when someone comes in and buys there supply. It ruins it for everyone else.
You mean to tell me people have 3 friends to play with?
yeah i would say they didnt make enough, just like the snes and nes
I don’t consider the switch a 4 person console. Basically all great games you need multiple switches
If you have the 4 friends to play with you’ve got the 3 friends to pay with.
pffft like you have 3 friends to play with
Without that rule you would have never been able to buy one.
Op might be a real bone head guys
1 per person is necessary to prevent scalpers from scooping up the entire stock.
If you want 4, just send 3 friends to get them for you.
Probably to work against scalpers
…It’s largely a vanity collectors items. All the games should work just fine on all the other controllers that are not restricted in stock. If it’s *that* important to you that *everybody* has an N64 controller, I’m sure you can put in the extra work, acknowledging that this is a clear measure to mitigate scalping.
Because people have been getting greedy online.
Tight
Scalpers fuckin suck, kinda weird they take this stance even with controllers though
I assume its to prevent scalpers from buying up the entire store before any respectable human gets to buy one. Im fine with that
If this is what it takes to stop scalpers from ruining fucking everything so be it. If you can’t come back and get one 4 days in a row then you didn’t deserve to hoard 4 in the first place bc clearly other people would like to have one.
*Scalpers*
Hate this controller
They’re hard to find. So it makes sense.
Looks like you don’t have 3 friends to play with so what’s the problem?
Blame scalpers, just be happy you were able to get one. It’s kinda a lose-lose situation for Nintendo.
Buy one, go outside and put on fake mustache and glasses, go back in and buy another one.
This is absolutely because of scalpers. There was a time I tried to get one of these and they would always sell out in seconds due to bots and then appear on third party site for 5x msrp.
So?
Because fuck resellers
Buy one, leave store, put on mustache, enter store, buy another
And if they were letting you buy however many you want there’d be none left because people are greedy
It’s to stop scalpers. Every time there is a high demand item in the store, the first customers are the scalpers who want multiple units.
Yeah right, like you have three IRL friends to play with.
You can use other controllers you know?
These were probably scalped for a while on release. If they don’t limit it several resellers could buy the whole stock pretty quick most likely
Eh. One of the worst controllers ever made, so no big loss.
Find 3 friends. I know it might be hard
