Update (12/5): The offer is now live and can be found here.

Original (12/4): As we wait for a restock on the Nintendo Switch Online SNES controllers, we do have some news in a related area. Nintendo has announced that it will be offering a 50 percent discount on the Switch NES controllers. The discount will be held on the company’s website between December 5 and January 10.

Normally, the controller goes for $59.99. However, during the sale, Nintendo Switch Online subscribers can make a purchase for only $29.99.

Nintendo is holding the sale to celebrate 50 NES games having been added to the Switch Online library. New NES and SNES releases were just announced for the service.

Nintendo announced today that the Switch Online service will finally be updated next week with new games. As we’ve sometimes seen before, there are different plans for the west and Japan.

North America (and presumably Europe) is getting Star Fox 2, Kirby Super Star, Super Punch-Out!!, and Breath of Fire II. In Japan though, the latter two games won’t be offered. Also, overseas Switch owners will be receiving Crystalis and Journey to Silius, but Japan swaps those out for Famicom Wars and Route-16.

The nice thing about Nintendo Switch Online is that the service is region-free. Both the SNES and NES apps can be downloaded and played in different regions. This technically allows for all of the games mentioned above to be played regardless of region.

If you were hoping to pick up one of those SNES controllers for Switch, you might be out of luck. It’s no longer available in either North America or Europe. On Nintendo’s North American site, it’s simply noted that the SNES controller is unavailable, and fans are advised to “check back for more news in January 2020.”

The controller was only sold to Nintendo Switch Online members. It is intended to be used with the SNES games that debuted back in September.
