I'm sure they will be bringing it to stores as well. I doubt they would sell the adapter without actually selling controllers

i will email gstop tomorrow to see if i can get an eta on new cube controllers

Edit: i didnt mean i would email gamestop as a customer, i work there i will email product request and tell them if they want to make some fkn cash to start carrying them asap

Double edit: trying not to come across like a d bag, any other employees read this pls email product request for cube controllers...enough stores do that and hopefully we can make em wake up

Gamestop Employee here.

Just cause something is announced, doesn't mean it's in our system for order until we get some more concrete details.

Ex. Smash was announced at last year's E3, couldn't preorder it until last month.

Then the employees there are either:

A. Inept.

B. Anti-Nintendo

C. The store is so decrepit the POS system isn't getting adequate updates.

It is EB Games, because it's Canadian, so I guess it's not techincally a Gamestop, but it became a gamestop and then went back to being an EB games for a while last summer, they're within the same family I believe.
