SNES CLASSIC MINI announced

[Nz17]

I managed to collect one of these Super Nintendo Classic Editions thanks to one of my family. Anyone else here manage to get one?

I heard that places that only got a few NES CE's last year got a lot more SNES CE's this time around. For example, the GameStop near me got 3 NES's in 2016, but it got 6 SNES's this year. The Toys 'r' Us where my SNES CE was purchased was allotted a total of 36 SNES CE's.

I went to the local (NE Minneapolis) Target at about 9 am yesterday. They had 60 units, with 53 people waiting in line at opening, so by 9 they were all long gone. They did limit to one per person. The staff were really friendly and said 60 was way more than what they got for NES Classic, so hopefully there will continue to be more, though I won't hold my breath. There was one guy asking about it at the same time as me, and as I was shopping for other stuff I saw at least a half dozen more (guys) that I suspected were there for one. Another two in the parking lot.

I feel like walking into a store at 9am on release day for something that's really a pretty simple bit of electronics, one should be able to get it. I don't even blame scalpers anymore, they're just a symptom of the problem.

The overall feedback I'm seeing on a few other gaming boards and FB groups is that most people were able to get one, though many did wait in line.
