This guy will have to wait for his younger brother.
It was available to buy starting noon local time. I refreshed the page until the buy option became available, but kept getting an error when submitting payment. Waited about half an hour and now it’s sold out. Ni modo I guess.
One of the things I did like about the original was actually the grips. I also loved the Gamecube style triggers, though I wish they had the same amount of travel as the GCN.
