Nintendo NES Classic mini version was launched on Nov. 11 on eBay, and reports indicate that the retail website had an overwhelming sales day. That being said, it seems that the gaming option is likely a preferred product for some.
According to the official website of eBay, the retail store was able to sell a unit of Nintendo NES Classic mini version every 18 seconds. In fact, the store obtained an average sale price of $230, which others believe is too expensive for a $60 game console.
Meantime, reports also claim that some fans are currently having a hard time finding the Nintendo NES Classic mini version in Walmart following the launch. It should be noted that the retail store reportedly held back the stocks and set a specific day to release and sell every week.
Nintendo NES Classic alternatives have also been recommended, such as the Analogue Nt Mini. This mini console is reported to be compatible with more than 2,000 Famicom and NES games. In addition, it can also play games at 1,080p through HDMI. However, the unit is available for $449, which is a bit expensive for a Nintendo NES Classic alternative.
Moreover, Nintendo NES Classic gamers may also try the Retro Freak console that is compatible with 12 classic gaming systems like SNES, NES and Genesis. In addition, the players may also save their game collections in a single SD Card. It is also more affordable for the price of $179.99.
Meanwhile, there are reports claiming that Best Buy and Target are also having limited stocks of Nintendo NES Classic. Although the NowInStock website features a handy in-stock tracker for the Nintendo NES Classic, the zip-code specific stock checker is believed to be the most useful tool.
Based on reports, this tool allows the buyers to look for nearby stores for Nintendo NES Classic stock. In fact, some buyers reportedly found a New Jersey store that is 30 miles away and has a stock of Nintendo NES Classic after a phone confirmation.
