Nintendo NES Classic Edition Soldout

One of the sensations of recent weeks has been the new mini Nintendo NES Classic Edition that includes 30 classic games installed in its internal memory. The game sold like hotcakes in the United States and was soldout in just a few days. Although Time has reported that UrbanOutfitters still sell them, it's still is getting hard to find one for sale nowadays.

Another problem about the Nintendo NES Classic Edition is that it can only play 30 classic games. That's not enough considering the cry out of gamers for nostalgic games that they had loved. Gamers are now requesting to acquire more titles including Donkey Kong, Zelda, Galatica and more. But this possibility has not been in the company's priority.

Is it worth it to look for a NES Classic Edition when there's a better alternative?
