What to do

  • Verify that the Nintendo Account you are using meets each of the following requirements:
    • Nintendo Account has an active Nintendo Switch Online membership that is not a Free Trial membership.
    • Nintendo Account is set to the U.S. or Canada.
    • Your credit card billing address matches your Nintendo Account country (U.S. or Canada).
    • Your order shipping address is in the U.S. or Canada.
  • Verify that you are in the correct Nintendo Store for your country:
  • For classic game controllers, make sure that you have not already used your Nintendo Account to order the maximum number of controllers.
    • The offer is limited to four sets of two NES Controllers and four of each of the other controllers per Nintendo Account.
    • If there are multiple people in your Family Membership group, each person can order four sets of two NES Controllers and up to four of each of the other controllers.
    • You can check the e-mail address associated to your Nintendo Account for a previous order confirmation from Nintendo.
  • If you haven’t already, try placing the order again. If you encounter errors during the order process, try the following:
    • Use 30 or fewer characters in the Name and City fields when entering your order.
    • Do not include any accented or special characters in the billing or shipping address fields.
    • Try accessing the website with a different browser.
    • While on the order page, sign out of your Nintendo Account then sign back in. Try placing your order again.
  • Verify that there are enough funds available on your card to place the order.
  • Try using a different payment method.
    • Keep in mind that your credit card billing address must match the country for your Nintendo Account (U.S. or Canada).
