Nintendo NES Classic Edition Update: Where To Buy Mini NES Console; New Animated Series In The Works

Dec 27, 2016 05:09 AM EST | Luna C

The NES Classic Edition may be out of stock at Argos, Tesco and other UK retailers but there is still a way to get one within this week if desperation kicks in. The NES reboot, in the form of a compact console, has made waves especially with fans that experienced the NES back in the '80s.

Unfortunately, stocks for the awesome mini versions of the masterpiece console called the Nintendo Entertainment System, Famicom for Asian regions, have been low to none since Dec. 22. It seems that this little retro gadget is still selling like hotcakes.

How to Get the NES Classic Edition Right Away

There are Nintendo NES Classic Edition stocks at Ebay and Amazon but the risk of not having it over the holiday break is quite big. Not to mention the hefty price consumers have to pay for those items that are ongoing bids. If the cold weather is not an issue, and getting in line is no problem, one can visit CEX, but the price is still quite high.

The NES Classic Edition costs £145, but the good thing is that it's on stock and can be brought home right away after purchase. It is important to note, however, that it is still possible for the Mini NES stocks to go dry so checking ahead online before going to a branch is highly advisable. NowinStock offers information on items that are in-demand, and whether they are available in big retail stores or not.

The NES Classic Edition is a reboot of the NES. The new model now supports HDMI output but still retains the classic controllers. It has 30 built-in classic NES games that would bring back the memories of old-school NES gamers and at the same time introduce 80s classic gaming to young gamers. The Mini NES product just launched in time for the holidays, so as of this writing, it remains quite rare.

Nintendo Animated Series

In other news, there is a rumor that Nintendo might be cooking up an animated series. According to a post at Express, a podcast from Nickelodeon was broadcast on YouTube and it seemingly reveals a claimed Nintendo property.

Frederation Studios' Fred Seibert explains that they have a new project but it is still unnamed. It is based on world-famous video games over the last 30 years. In relation to this, Nintendo has been reported to have confirmed last May that they are interested in expanding their IPs. Speculation wise, this is in the field of cartoons.
