Hard To Find NES Classic In The Wild
Retro gaming fans across the country have had a tough two weeks. Nintendo released the mini version of their original Nintendo console on November 11th, 2016. The $59.99 unit comes with 30 of the greatest Nintendo classics. A must buy for anyone who is a fan of 80’s gaming. Other than having an extremely short cable for the controller, people are having a blast playing their favorite childhood games on a large HDTV. However, it is now Black Friday, and it is still nearly impossible to get your hands on one at Best Buy, Amazon, or Target. It’s easier to place a tuxedo on a cow than walking into a store where there is an ample stock of NES classics.
Nintendo Trying To Ship More
Nintendo is trying to keep shipping units to North America to keep up with the demand, but the original supply was very short. After two weeks, you’re best bet to find an NES classic is on Ebay. The only downside is that you will be dishing out over $300 on a console that only costs $60. Unless you personally know someone who works at a retail store who can advise on when shipments are arriving, don’t expect anything to change anytime soon. The demand is still really high, and stores are only being fed a handful at a time. Seems like Nintendo missed out on a golden opportunity right before the holiday season.

Looks like fun.
Very fun! Too bad they can’t make enough to have in stock.
Reliving your child hood memories as an adult is an epic good time
Very true Grad.
I would have never thought Nintendo would do something like this but now that I think about it the same thing happened with Zelda the game.
Exactly what everyone has been saying, huge marketing stunt for people to go crazy wanting it
I have one and I got lucky.I do wish they would have made the cable longer. So used to wireless controllers.
They are pulling an Apple stunt. Demand is 100 million, produce 10 million
Dude they need to step up the game and make more of these. I definitely want one. Tall about bringing back childhood memories playing nintendo. Good times!
Bro I’ve been all over the place looking for one and no luck. My child hood memories are going to have to wait. Lol
Bro agree 100 % , what is Nintendo doing??? They come up with this Genius but simple idea of the Classic NES but fail to make enough units to stock the shelves. Epic one liner , easier to put a Tuexedo on a Cow … roflmao
This is a marketing stunt to create chaos and have people want it more
They are doing the same thing apple does. Not shipping enough.
