The Smash Bros. GameCube controller has been tough to come by if you’re a regular consumer. There hasn’t been a whole lot of stock circulating, leading to increased prices on second-hand markets. Fortunately, it looks like restocks are starting to happen.
The Nintendo UK store is now taking pre-orders for the Smash Bros. controller. The page lists a release date of December 7, with new stock due to dispatch in late January 2020.
You can reserve the controller from the Nintendo UK store here.
My Nintendo has updated in Europe with its latest rewards. In addition to the latest discounts, a few 3DS themes are up for grabs.

Original developer CD Projekt Red was involved in bringing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt to Switch. However, Saber Interactive handled a great deal of the technical work. In an interview with GamesBeat, chief executive officer Matthew Karch discussed the porting project in detail.
Karch mentioned that The Witcher 3 was initially “running at 10 frames per second, was taking 50% more memory than the Switch has, and the build size was 20GB larger than the biggest Switch cartridge.” Saber therefore turned off dynamic shadowed lights, removed screen-space ambient occlusion, and lowered the number of NPCs in the world by 30 percent.
That last change didn’t go over well, as Karch explained:
Switch has reached another milestone, this time in Spain. Total sales of the console have now reached 1,036,000 units. That’s after two years and nine months.
In 2019, Switch has sold 332,000 units, and it has another big sales month of December remaining.
These are top five best-selling Switch games in Spain to date:
