SNES Classic Mini pre-order UPDATE - Great stock news ahead of release date

The Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Nintendo Edition has been selling like hot cakes, with pre-orders still going fast as the big release date approaches.

At the start of the week SNES Classic Mini pre-orders returned to the Official Nintendo Store UK, but sold out in a matter of minutes.

While Tesco Direct also have been selling SNES Classic Mini pre-orders, but whenever they have become available have sold out at lightning fast speeds.

Nintendo have tried to reassure fans about stock levels ahead of the SNES Classic Mini release date on Friday.

The gaming giant said they are producing much more consoles than the NES Classic Mini, which was discontinued after suffering widespread stock shortages.

But that hasn’t stopped fans rushing out to try and get a SNES Classic Mini pre-order whenever stock has become available.

For fans fearing about how much stock will be available at launch, they have received some welcome news.

Gaming tipster Wario64 has been posting about SNES Classic Mini stock levels on Twitter, and the signs seem to be good.

Wario64 has been looking at stores in the US and analysing how much stock they have available for the SNES Classic Mini on launch day.

The tipster has posted screenshots showing stock levels for Best Buy stores in America, and it’s looking very healthy.

Pictures he posted showed a large number of Best Buy Stores with HUNDREDS of units available at launch.

One store had almost 400 consoles available for SNES Classic Mini fans this Friday.

It’s unclear whether these numbers will also cover consoles pre-ordered by SNES Classic Mini fans.

But either way it bodes well for how much stock will be available on the SNES Classic Mini release date.

Fans who follow Wario64 were boosted by the SNES Classic Mini stock news.

One gamer posted: “Looks like people aren't gonna have any issues getting one. Good.”
