US video game retailer GameStop has announced that it won’t be taking pre-orders for the Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition. The news was revealed by the company on Twitter and will come as a surprise to many. If you want one from GameStop you will no doubt have to queue up and snag one on launch day. The Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition launches on November 11th.
We will not be taking pre-orders on the NES Classic. It will be available in-store on 11/11.

I’m not surprised. In fact, I wouldn’t doubt it if Gamestop didn’t even get this in their stores at all. Because it’s basically a Plug and Play system, and Gamestop NEVER got the other Plug and Play systems, such as the Atari Flashbacks etc. These will probably be at stores like
Wal-Mart, Target and Best Buy etc. Or if it’s anything like the Atari Flashbacks, even dollar stores, like the Dollar General and Family Dollar might get them. But since this is actually made by Nintendo, the previous stores I mentioned might be your best bet.
The reply said it would be available in stores 11/11.
This will not be in Dollar Stores. That’s ridiculous given the price point.
But Dollar stores had the $40.00 Atari, Intelevision and Colecovision Flashbacks etc. So who knows? Don’t let the word “Dollar” fool you.
What Collector said. I’ve seen the Sega Genesis thing that’s similar to NES Mini at the Dollar General closest to me & that thing was worth around 30 bucks. Dollar stores aren’t exactly as their name would imply these days.
I bought my brother the Sega Genesis plug in that came out a few weeks ago at Game Stop
Too bad for those who wanted to pre-order, but maybe it’s better that way. I never pre-order things.
It is going to be in very short supply. Both of my stores main suppliers are not getting a single one in!
Good, maybe people will buy it from a proper retail location instead.
This is what most retailers did with PKMN GO PLUS, they held preorders briefly until it sold out then waited till launch to have them available.
