Amazon recently teased a couple of “exciting announcements” for the NES Classic Edition. One of these may not be so exciting after all.
Amazon Books have now started to sell the NES Classic Edition. This applies to locations in Seattle, Portland, and San Diego.
We were definitely hoping for bigger and better news (like an online restock) from Amazon. Hopefully that other announcement is a tad more interesting.

Best Buy is restocking the NES Classic Edition on December 20
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 4 Comments
Update: The restock has now been confirmed for December 20 – see the updated email below.
Original: Best Buy is sending out emails to consumers about an impending NES Classic Edition restock. We know that it’s happening soon – it’s just a matter of when.
Unfortunately, Best Buy made some sort of error in its email. It first mentions “tomorrow” (December 8), followed by December 20 right after that. I’d say the latter is a more likely bet, but a restock tomorrow isn’t entirely out of the question.
We’ll let you know if Best Buy clarifies the situation at all.

NES Classic Edition immediately sold out of its launch stock of 100,000 units in France
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 9 Comments
The NES Classic Edition, otherwise known as the Nintendo Classic Mini, is off to a fast start in France. While 100,000 units were shipped, that wasn’t enough to meet demand. Nintendo sold through all of its pre-orders and wasn’t really able to sell the hardware through other means due to a lack of stock.
Part of the NES Classic Edition’s success can be attributed to its demographic. Rather than core gamers, the average consumer has expressed the most interest.
Nintendo remains committed to sending out more NES Classic Edition units to retailers, including France. Shipments will continue this month and into 2017.
