Since the preorders went live last week, it’s been nigh on impossible to pre-order from any retailer. GAME even took the steps of raising its deposit requirements when the level of demand became apparent. 

If stocks continue to be this limited, this console will be sold for silly money on the likes of eBay, just like the the Mini NES.

Supply is low, demand is high. And deters scalpers.

The Nintendo Classic Mini SNES Edition is due for release in the UK on September 29, coming with 21 games built into the system. One of these games will be the previously never released StarFox 2.
