Nintendo confirms Super NES Classic Edition pre-orders coming this month
We finally have a straight answer directly from Nintendo about the North American pre-order situation for the Super NES Classic Edition. Later this month, pre-orders will open at “various retailers”.
Nintendo also says that there will be a “significant amount of additional systems” sent to stores for launch. More units will be shipped “throughout the balance of the calendar year” as well.
Nintendo said:
We appreciate the incredible anticipation that exists for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super NES Classic Edition system, and can confirm that it will be made available for pre-order by various retailers late this month.
A significant amount of additional systems will be shipped to stores for launch day, and throughout the balance of the calendar year.
Walmart opened pre-orders for the Super NES Classic Edition in late July. However, the retailer said that this was a “glitch”, and all orders were cancelled. Walmart will likely make reservations available officially this month along with other retailers.
