The NES Classic Edition Mini Console gaming system offers nostalgic entertainment for the grownups and is still great fun for the kids. With 30 classic retro games built in and a price point of $79.99 it's no surprise that this system is in high demand, even though it's been on the market for a while now.

Being released Nov 11th.....whenever an electronic is released it's usually difficult to get but will give it a try.
. I am getting this then having a championship gaming night!
And i shall conqor all!!! Bwahahah
Game on bioch! Lol
Gotta get me one of these!!
So where do we get them? I am hoping to preorder once.
Any electronic store will carry them but they haven't received a preorder date yet
put this on your list for Santa!
I want one for sure
AMAZING!! Nostalgia central :) I'm excited about this old gaming console reinvention and even more so as a Christmas gift idea. This was what I grew up with and I still have the original Nintendo gaming console with probably close to 100 different games...blowing into the game cartridges to allow proper function required. 30 games and a mini console at that price point is a great idea and so much better! Forget about the kids, I may just have to buy this for myself and my husband - lol!
any luck finding a pre-order on these yet?
Any idea which stores it will be available in?
EB Games for sure, it's up on their web site. Hubbie will be lining up tomorrow. Most stores will have 20-30 units only.
Best Buy is launching online sale around midnight tonight. Apparently stores will have some stock too (limited).
Any updates to this post considering the supposed release date is already tomorrow? I never heard about any pre-order stores or dates either :(
just got my order confirmation on EB Games.. just kept reloading the page it eventually showed up. Walmart in store 7 am tomorrow and Bestbuy 1 am PST online
There were no pre-orders, and we will update as we see stock made available. These are going to sell out FAST at each location.
And, it's sold out online. And not in any stores.
It says it is in stock at 1 out of 4 of my local Walmarts.
That sold out fast but we have updated our post for you to keep checking on stock at various retailers! Good luck everyone! :)
Eb games has them online keep refreshing just bought one...
I will mention that as well in our post, thanks for that tip!
Thesource.ca also has them online. Need to refresh the out of stock keeps updating.
I am going to edit this into our post. I also keep refreshing now and am not having success, but maybe... (fingers crossed for everyone!) Thanks for the tip!
Got mine about 25 mins ago. I refreshed for 20 mins before i got it.
That is what we did, refreshing the pages constantly. I got one then 20 mins later my daughter called and got one.
Thank you everyone, for your helpful comments! Refresh, refresh, seems to be the key.
Would of loved to have bought one but I add it to my wish list hopefully comes back in stock
Thanks lady! Looks like I missed them all lol
Our Walmart here had a fair number of the classic's in stock, enough to satisfy the line that formed out front (about 15 people). I believe there were around 20-30 units.
Controllers, they only received two, but should have more pretty quick.
Amazon.ca stated it was going to have this mini NES console system available for the regular $79.99 at exactly 2pm PST, so just moments ago... I noticed when it was available the instant it happened but no matter how many times I added it to my cart, my cart was always empty or it had disappeared. There is no way they were actually properly available if I was not able to get one being on at the exact moment, unless they had some extremely low amount of units for sale. What a joke... The amount available at any given store and online is a disaster and baffling with Nintendo knowing the hype for this nostalgic item. The Amazon reviews are dismal as the controller cord is very short and with scalpers reselling units for upwards of an astronomical $500 each, when the unit is barely worth the $80 price point. I'm more than fine to wait and buy it when readily available at the normal price, which it's apparently going to be before the holiday season, according to Nintendo.
