After Nintendo announced its NES Classic Edition console during the summer, it was almost certain that it would become one of those hard to find items of the holiday season. Unfortunately, in the United States, retailers did not offer a pre-order process and instead left those wanting a unit to hunt around for the scarce product on release day. Luckily, if you missed the chance to obtain an NES Classic Edition last week, Walmart will be holding a limited sale of the item over the next couple of days.
The retailer will be holding an online sale of the NES Classic that will start daily at 2PM PT. The website will offer a limited number of consoles and will replenish the next day at the same time. Naturally, it won"t be easy to get one, but it is better than waiting for stocks to replenish from other retailers at random unknown intervals. The sale started on November 14 and will continue until the 18th.
If you happen to miss out on the online sale, Nintendo has pledged that it will have more supply available over the coming weeks. If you are located in the US, be sure to head to the Walmart website at 2PM PT for a chance to purchase a unit. Good luck!
