GameStop not taking pre-orders for the NES Classic Edition

European retailers opened pre-orders for the NES Classic Edition (or NES Mini) quite a long time ago. The situation is much different in North America though, as reservations have pretty much been unavailable since the announcement. It was up on Toys “R” Us and Target for an extremely brief period, but that’s all. The likes of Amazon, Best Buy, and GameStop have all kept pre-orders closed.

Unfortunately, at least at GameStop, the situation won’t be changing before launch. The retailer confirmed on Twitter that it will not offer any pre-orders. Consumers will instead need to visit a local store on November 11.

The tweet is as follows:


The NES Classic Edition hits store shelves in less than a month, so other retailers will likely follow in GameStop’s footsteps. We’ll let you know if we hear otherwise.
