Nintendo NES Classic Mini has proven to be elusive as it is not readily available for every gamer. Since its release, it has been difficult to come by because of limited stocks. Many supporters of the gaming console are wondering if this trend will ever be changed or if it will remain to be hard to get for quite a while.
According to Daily Star, Tatsumi Kimishima, Nintendo President told investors that the reason behind the unavailability of Nintendo NES Classic Mini is because some parts require time to procure. However, the team at Nintendo are doing their best to increase the production so more gamers can experience the palm-sized home console.
Kimishima apologized for the lack of stocks as many have expressed their disappointment. Since November, the console has been highly in demand that it somehow became challenging to come by sometime January of this year. It has been that way since then.
The simple fact that this console is palm sized, it does work like any other. It connects to the TV via an HDMI Port and also comes with classic NES pad which is reasonably priced. It is even made better as it can be used to play Virtual Console NES games on Wii U or Wii system when connected via Wii remote controller.

The Nintendo NES Classic Mini is ideal for anyone who remembers playing the NES or simply to those who has nostalgic connection as they relive the experience of using it from the distant past. It should trigger fun memories when they were still kids.
For those who are willing to pay a little more, this bit of information may be helpful. According to CNET, the Nintendo NES Classic Mini is available in-store at some GameStops. It is best to call the local store to check if they have any in stock. If they do, have it reserved immediately. Since it is a hot commodity, most stores only allow one unit per person to be reserved. It is important to note though that it may be more expensive than its SRP.
Some online/physical stores have Nintendo NES Classic Mini stock but it costs too much. Chunk Toys reportedly has some stocks available but it retails to around $250. The price varies though so it is best to constantly check. What's good is the retailer may offer free shipping. Though rare, some Toys R Us may have it and it will only be around $60.
