Customers have been advised to line up as early as they can because the unit is already out of stock in most retail stores despite being sold only for a few hours. Those who didn't make it in time can buy the Nintendo Mini NES Classic Edition console on Amazon when it becomes available in the afternoon.

Nintendo's retro re-release of the pint-sized Mini NES Classic Edition is priced at $59.99 and it comes with 30 pre-installed games. The online pre-order option will soon be available on different online stores starting with Amazon.

Since the stockpile of the Mini NES Classic Edition console in traditional shops are running out, customers would be rushing to sign up on the online stores. Amazon has already disabled the 1-Click Ordering option for the Mini NES Classic Edition to restrict orders to only one unit per customer.

Nintendo fans who want to purchase the Mini NES Classic Edition from Amazon have to make sure that their credit card is up to date and they need to list their name on the company's product listing page. The Nintendo Mini NES Classic Edition is expected to have limited quantities available on the initial launch day and more will arrive during the holiday shopping rush.

Meanwhile, Best Buy has issued a statement saying that the Nintendo Mini NES Classic Edition would also be available on their website and they will be providing free shipping of the console. Customers can check the nearest local Best Buy retail store in order to know the pickup schedule of their purchase.
