SNES Classic In Stock At GameStop

The hard-to-find SNES Classic Edition is currently in stock at GameStop for $80. When you click over to the store page, ignore the text at the top that says "Sold Out." It's lying to you. Scroll down and you'll find various bundles, as well as the standalone system, all very much in stock.

Although Nintendo promised it would keep making SNES Classic Editions into 2018, it's still been a difficult piece of hardware to find on store shelves. Even so, it's been a popular machine, with over 5 million units sold to date.

The SNES Classic Edition is a smaller version of the classic console that launched in the US in 1991. It comes with two full-sized, wired controllers and 21 notable Super Nintendo games. Among the games are revered classics like Super Mario World, Super Metroid, Final Fantasy III (VI in Japan), Earthbound, and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. It also contains one game that never saw a previous release, Star Fox 2.

In our review of the SNES Classic Edition, Michael Higham wrote, "[T]o have this lineup of iconic games in one place, in an easy, accessible, and convenient fashion makes the SNES Classic worth seeking out. If Nintendo's looking to capitalize on 16-bit nostalgia, I'd say it did a damn fine job."

If you've been hoping to find an SNES Classic Edition in stock, hurry over to GameStop's website to see if you can secure one before they inevitably sell out.
