SNES Classic Mini UPDATE: Super Nintendo stock boost following retro announcement

Stock has been hard to come by for those hoping to buy a SNES Classic Mini in recent weeks.

The problem has been felt in both North America and the UK, with a limited supply being found at different times, from different retailers.

But there have been a few new updates this week which will have fans hoping that more regular stock announcements will be arriving soon.

SNES Classic Mini stock returned to the GAME website on Friday, however it all sold out fast again.

The new units appeared on the GAME website just after 4.30pm BST, however stock all sold out in around 20 minutes.

This is the third time since launch that the GAME website has had the Super Nintendo available to order.

They seem to be the best stocked UK website for the SNES Classic Mini at the moment, so make sure you keep an eye in case more stock does become available.

On launch day the SNES Classic Mini was only available to buy from UK-based websites at Argos, John Lewis and Asda Direct.

Following on from that there was a dry spell of around a week and a half where they was no stock available from British websites.

Recent Amazon UK stock allocation came after amazon.de, amazon.fr and amazon.es seemed to be the best stocked sites in Europe for the SNES Classic Mini.

Since launch that trio of European Amazon websites have regularly been taking orders for the SNES Classic Mini, according to Stock Informer.

It follows news of a new device that could prove pretty intriguing to those who have so far missed out on nabbing a SNES Mini Classic.

While Nintendo have confirmed that they will supporting the SNES Classic for longer than first confirmed, there doesn’t seem to be a solution to stock problems in sight.

However, for those who are willing to dip into the retro market, there could be a tasty new alternative.

A new device has been announced that could go along way to plugging those gaps.

The Super Nintendo – Super Nt – console has just been revealed, with pre order starting to roll out.

This aftermarket system is made by Analogue and could certainly provide a great new way to get into retro gaming.
