    I planning to get up early on the 29th and wait in line at a local electronics chain (Fred Meyers) for the SNES mini. Worked for me for the Switch earlier this year.

      Nintendo is bringing back the NES classic this summer and they are going to put out more of the SNES classic too because of demand . The story is in the News this week

        Back in April, when Nintendo discontinued the hot ticket NES Classic Edition after just six months on the market, it prompted us to suggest in a headline that "Nintendo hates money." Someone at Nintendo must have figured out that money is good, though, because Nintendo announced this morning that the $60 plug-and-play retro console will be coming back to retailers "next summer."

          I'm never going to buy anything from Nintendo again. I'm sure they're shaking in their boots.

            My local Target will have 2018 Nes on Friday 6-29-18 but there will be a line where they will give out tickets before store opens. They started selling extra controllers already
            that I could not find the first time

              I got an alert from Best Buy that they go on sale Friday, but I didn't want to get anyone's hopes up.

                It seems easier to find the SNES version.

                  Bought both of these, U can get some non licensed cable free pads for both, which I got and work great.

                    Target had over 50 this morning( 1 per customer) with a ticket at the door. I picked one up
                    and there was 30 or so people in line. Target was very organized with tickets and Security.

                      On my lunch hour I decided to swing by my local Walmart out here in small town Oklahoma to see if I could luck into one. I figured I could at least tell myself I tried instead of sitting around wondering about it and low and behold, I was able to snag one. They never had any the last go around so I was pleasantly surprised.

                      Had time to play a little "Punch Out" while I ate some left over pizza before I had to come back.

                        My local Walmart must have just got some more in. Saw four of them just sitting over in Electronics.

                            I'm guessing that they must have produced a lot more this go around because I never saw one in a store on the last run. I saw one SNES a few months back. Yesterday, there were 10 NES Classics left in the display case after I bought mine. I bet they were selling out quick in the metropolitan areas, but for a rural Walmart to have that many on-hand, it makes me think there are more available than last time.

                              I was in the same Walmart today and I cruised by to see if they had any NES Classics left. There were two, but what surprised me was that they now had the SNES Classic in stock. They also got in some Atari Flashback 8s, Atari Flashback Portable, Sega Genesis Classic, and a Sega Handheld. Lots of choices for retro gaming!
