As practically every gaming analyst, publication, and community member expected following the announcement of the SNES Classic, units are either selling out fast or are already sold out. Walmart’s pre-order list got bought out so fast, it’s still smoldering. Amazon and Best Buy are still set to offer some, but those won’t likely last long either. The hunt is actually getting messy now.
As Slash Gear reports, it didn’t take long for Walmart to run out of SNES Classic units after it posted pre-order notices on Friday. The supply was gone so fast that customers who wanted to buy the mini consoles learned there was nothing to order by the time they woke up the next morning.
Right now, Walmart has made no announcement as to whether or not they are getting any more of the consoles to sell. After all, while Nintendo did say that it was going to be making more of the SNES Classic than the NES, there is no official figure as to how many these will be. What’s more, thanks to the definitive 2017 cut-off date, fans might not be able to get their hands on the units next year.
The nostalgia mixed with collector’s fever is heating up so high that the hunt for the mini console is getting messy as well, Kotaku notes. Many fans are taking to social media to complain about the sold-out Walmart pre-order offer, for example, and users over at Reddit are having a field day about the limited supply.
It seems the source of the ire of many fans involved not noticing that the Walmart pre-order offer was already live. Some say that their phones were dead while others confessed that they were asleep. While it may not have been rained money during the night, the missed opportunity due to the sweet allure of slumber is apparently grating quite a few nerves.
