Following last years 2016 holiday craze over the Nintendo NES classic edition that retailed for $59.99 and resold on Amazon for $200+ Nintendo released the SNES for the 2017 holiday season. This year Nintendo is doing it different. They have raised the retail price of this years edition to $79.99 and have increaed the supply.
Personally I've gotten 3 with little to no effort. No I didn't wait at a walmart for 5 hours on a Friday morning. Most of the units the company get is put up onto their website. I'm keeping one for my self and will give away the rest to friends and family. I opened my personal one and it brought back the memories of me sitting behind the tv playing for hours on end. Somehow I never get sick of Super Mario Kart
Just an FYI
According to Spawn Wave on Youtube the insides of the SNES classic and the NES classic basically have the same insides.
So where can I get them?
They released this past Friday 9/29/2017 at retailers including GameStop, ThinkGeek, BestBuy, Target and more... But the initial launch date is nothing but an initial launch date as Nintendo says its planning to continually ship out these products into 2018. Last year, retailers including Toys R Us, and BestBuy continuously restocked the shelfs with the system and I am sure it will occur again and again this year. These are not difficult to get. If scalpers can get 10+ units you can get 1 for yourself. Its the matter of just being on the lookout for them. I've listed some great accounts to follow on twitter who are onto of posting about restocks and increase your chance of getting your own system.
I recomend keeping an eye out every couple days and calling local stores to see if they have received a new shipment and following accounts on twitter including:
