Nintendo Switch Online N64 Controllers Restocked in UK and Australia: Availability and Pricing Details

Nintendo has officially restocked its sought-after wireless N64 controllers for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers in both the UK and Australia.

These controllers, designed to provide an authentic Nintendo 64 experience on modern hardware, have been notoriously difficult to find due to high demand and limited stock.

Now, fans in these regions have another opportunity to enhance their retro gaming sessions on the Nintendo Switch. These wireless N64 controllers are available exclusively to Nintendo Switch Online members—underscoring Nintendo’s commitment to providing a premium, nostalgia-driven service for long-time fans.

The controllers faithfully replicate the look and feel of the original N64 hardware, ensuring that games available through the Switch Online’s N64 library can be played as intended. Restock information provided by Nintendo cites June 15, 2023, as the latest availability date for Australia, with stock replenishment occurring at 12pm AEST.

For fans in Australia, the N64 controller is priced at $69.95 AUD, and to maintain fair access, Nintendo has limited purchases to four controllers per customer.

In the UK, the controllers have also returned to the market, but availability remains strictly limited, reinforcing the value and exclusivity of these accessories. A spokesperson from Nintendo emphasized the need for a current Nintendo Switch Online subscription in order to purchase the controller, highlighting the continuing integration of online services and exclusive hardware.

"Only subscribers to Nintendo Switch Online are eligible to purchase the official N64 wireless controller, which is designed to deliver an authentic gaming experience," the spokesperson stated.

This policy helps ensure that dedicated fans using the Switch Online service have the opportunity to access these controllers. Since their initial release, the wireless N64 controllers have been a consistent sell-out, with many customers reporting frustrations over limited supply and rapid sell-through rates.

Nintendo continues to address demand through periodic restocks; however, supply remains constrained due to sustained interest and collector demand.

Both hardware launch and each successive restock have seen controllers sell out quickly, especially when announced through regional initiatives and platforms like the Nintendo eShop. For gamers in other regions or those awaiting future restocks, Nintendo has encouraged players to monitor official channels for updates and availability notifications.

As the company maintains its focus on delivering a high-quality retro gaming experience, these controllers stand out as a key component of the Nintendo Switch Online expansion. The Nintendo Switch Online wireless N64 controller can be purchased via the Nintendo eShop in your local region, provided you have an active Online subscription.
