Update: And she’s gone – lasted much longer than Walmart’s last round of pre-orders at least!

Walmart took pre-orders for the Super NES Classic Edition for an extremely brief period this week. Now, however, it’s available once again. You can pre-order it here.

What we will say is that Walmart seems to have more pre-orders this time. The last round lasted under a minute, so this is a somewhat good sign.

Amazon appears to have hit a snag with pre-orders placed for the Super NES Classic Edition. In an email sent to customers, the retailer notes that it “recently learned that we may miss your delivery promise”. Units will still be sent out though, and the retailer is “working hard to ensure you get this item as soon as it is in stock.”

In other news, we’re hearing that Amazon is reducing orders for multiple Super NES Classic units reduced to one. Since no limit was placed originally, some customers placed orders for many systems – even dozens. This should hopefully give consumers another shot at snagging a Super NES Classic Edition at Amazon.

In the past, Atlus has worked with outside companies to publish and distribute its games in Europe. Past partners include NIS America and Koch. Today, however, games will be handled internally.

GamesIndustry reports that a new team has been created, which will allow Atlus to be in charge of the European publishing of its own titles. They’ll be located in SEGA Europe’s offices in London. This will allow Atlus to better support fans with special edition sets and products that are extended to North America and other markets.
