Target may eventually take pre-orders for the Super NES Classic Edition
Update: We’re back to where we were originally, with Target may (or may not) taking pre-orders. The same Twitter account now writes the following:
We expect to carry SNES in stores & online, but we don't have any info regarding pre-orders. For more info visit: https://t.co/IBZUFc1ory.

Original: Last night, Walmart unexpectedly began taking pre-orders for the Super NES Classic Edition. If you weren’t playing Splatoon 2, perhaps you were lucky enough to get an order in. Reservations were up for about 40 minutes before Walmart pulled the plug.
In one way, this is already a win over the NES Classic Edition. For that hardware, retailers did not take any pre-orders.
Walmart looks to be done at this point. But what about other retailers? Based on one tweet from Target, the store will be taking pre-orders. We don’t know when, however.
Excited about SNES release this fall? Good news! We will have this item & it will be available for pre-orders! Get ready for Classic action.

Technically this isn’t an official announcement from Target, so we won’t believe it until we see it. If and when Target does open pre-orders, we’ll let you know.
