My thoughts on hearing this: good luck finding one, still. I have never seen a SNES Classic in any store, and that's the one they're supposed to be stocking aggressively.

Really? They're not terribly hard to come by I've found. NES will surely be sold out for the first couple months and then level out a bit.

As a separate announcement, Japan is getting a unique NES classic with different games on top of the relaunch.

Really? I wonder if it's a combination of lower stock being sent to the Maritimes and a smaller proportion of serious nostalgia appreciators elsewhere? The SNES has been out for 7 months and I have literally not seen a single unit at EB, Walmart, Best Buy, etc. in all that time.

Maybe I'll be getting you or someone to snag me a NES Classic when they start flooding your store shelves.

Heh, I mean I personally haven't seen many on shelves, but I've talked to different retailers and they said they've been getting weekly shipments since launch. And then anecdotally, I know several people who were able to get one without a lot of trouble. Just the other day I was talking about the SNES classic to my work friend and he said the next day he just walked into the store and bought one.

But not terribly hard, I mean not impossible like the nes classic Could be a difference in demographics though!

Still need an SNES classic? They tons of them here now. I could mail it from Canada when I drive to Ft. Francis for snacks again in June.

No, I'm good on the SNES. I somehow ordered one from EB Games online when they were showing out of stock. I'm not going to question it. Thanks, though!

Are we giving up hope that NES classic will be rereleased? Or do we think it might pop up at E3 along with N64 Classic?

The NES Classic is what we were talking about a couple posts ago. It's confirmed with a release date and everything.

Ahhhh June 29th! I better get in line!

Oh god I hope the N64 classic isn't a thing. The controller was awful and those games (that whole generation) has aged so badly.

Just release them on switch so I can play with a controller that can be used by 2 handed people.
