The NES Classic Edition is Back!

It’s back baby! I just picked mine up at Walmart.

If you’ve been holding out, as of this posting they are available at Target and Walmart locations, on Walmart.com, and Gamestop.com.

Check out nowinstock.net for more updates as more stores get it or they sell out, but it seems your best bet is getting it in person.

Did you pick up a second controller?

You have a Mazda too huh(I know because we have one and I recognize the steering wheel :smile)? Cool.

Anyways, grats on finally getting one. Happy Nintendo brought these back.

Yeah that’s Katie’s new car. I’m driving it because she has some time off and has my Nissan in the shop for an oil change and inspection. I adore her car though.

And no I didn’t get a second controller Will, but I have an SNES classic and those controllers work, plus and 8bitdo and the adapter so I’m set on controllers.

I just bought mine at Gamestop! :) I did not get a second controller, that might not be a bad idea,

It’s totally worth it if you don’t have the SNES Classic controllers. ALSO I seriously recommend the cable extender. I have two and they are lifesavers if you play it on a couch.

Yep and those cable extenders are cheap. Very worth it. They’re sitting next to my original NES extension cables in my game junk cabinet.

I actually might have another controller I can use for it. I got one for the Wii and it at least looks similar to these new controller ports. I'll have to try that out sometime, if I can find it.

It's likely to work Greg-- https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/17341/~/which-controllers-are-compatible-with-the-nes-classic-edition%3F

They don't list nearly all the third-party controllers that will.

Yup, the Wii Classic Controller is what I have! I'd just have to find it. I thought that port looked familiar.
