The NES Classic Edition officially launched today, but consumers are having a tough time getting their hands on a unit. To quell some of the concerns consumers have, Nintendo of America shared an update about stock on its Twitter page.

The full tweets are as follows:
There will be a steady flow of additional systems through the holiday shopping season and into the new year. 2/3
