After Nintendo’s NES Classic Edition turned into a near-impossible to find piece of gaming gold last year—and then became fully impossible to find when the company discontinued the miniaturized console—everyone suspected this year’s release of the Super NES Classic would be just as dispiriting of a shit show. And for a while there, it seemed like it would be, as preorders showed up sporadically, lasted for mere minutes, and/or got canceled en masse. But Nintendo Of America president Reggie Fils-Aime recently tried to brighten up that dire situation, telling fans they shouldn’t turn to scalpers and pay more than the retail price for one of these devices. And just today, Nintendo followed up with a statement that might provide some hope for those trying to snap up a Super NES Classic this holiday season and beyond.
