Nintendo NES Classic

Want to get your hands on one of the HOTTEST must-have items this holiday season? Rumor has it that at 2PM PST/5PM EST today, you’ll want to hurry (and I do mean HURRY 🏃🏼) on over to Amazon.com where they will have a very limited amount of the just released Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition w/ Controller for $59.99 shipped.

As you can see from the pictures, the NES Classic Edition has the original look and feel of the old school system but in a much smaller size as it fits in the palm of your hand. It comes pre-loaded with 30 games including Super Mario Bros, Donkey Kong, The Legend of Zelda, Pac-Man and comes with one standard HDMI cable and one controller.

Word on the street is that you will want to grab a longer HDMI cable as the controller wires are super short compared to the original version. This My Arcade 10ft Extender Cable is available for pre-order with a November 30th release for only $9.99 or you can grab this Insignia 6ft Extender Cable available now from BestBuy.com for only $9.99 shipped or free in-store pickup.

This new Nintendo Entertainment System sold out within minutes on Target.com, BestBuy.com and GameStop.com early this morning when it was released so you’ll want to be fast! Purchases are limited to one per customer and 1-Click Ordering will be disabled for this item.

  2. Janice

    5:01 and this item is GONE! So sad…

  3. CourtD

    I got one!!! Thank you so very much for the head’s up! It was gone a minute later when I tried to get a second one.

  4. April

    Shows available but shipping is 4.98 no prime shipping

  5. Kelsey

    Never available

  6. Melissa Lewis

    Dang it! I missed it!!! I kept trying to add one to my cart but it wouldn’t add. Grrr

    • Tink

      I feel your pain I had it three times but would not go in my cart! I am not sure why but super frustrating!!!

      • Jenn Castilo

        I had that same problem! Ugg…..

        • TabloidJunkie

          Me too! I wanted to get one for my son that is very sick. I thought he could play it in the hospital. 🙁

  7. Ashley Pedersen

    It’s still saying it’s available for me but when I hit add to cart it’s going to an empty cart. Super.

    • Carrie

      Mine did the exact same thing… oh well, maybe it will be available later

  8. Kayla

    Yeah it lets me add to cart but then doesn’t show up in cart 🙁

  9. savingmysense

    The link that I saved brought me to the console but then when it was 4pm, I went there, saw a listing from Amazon prime for $9.99 and the description says JUST the controller but was listed with all the consoles priced at $250…. I think there may have been a glitch??

  10. Suzanne H

    I am okay with Nintendo pulling whatever marketing ploys they like but saying that an item will not be available until a certain time then selling them all beforehand is low. I could have tried this morning but kept waiting until the supposed time they were going on sale. Stupid me. Oh well, not a big deal if hubby doesn’t get one for Xmas! They will probably be all over in January.

    • Sara

      You’re probably right, it’s going to be like that Atari thing a few years ago. Sold out instantly on Black Friday for like $50-60, few months after Christmas you could get it for $20 at Walmart.

  11. Sara

    It says add to cart, but I keep clicking on it and it’s not adding it at all. Is it gone?

  12. Amy

    Is it just me or are these links just taking you to the controller and not the system? I’m confused. Would love to get this for my son.

  13. Skinny

    Mine won’t add to cart either.

  14. Jennifer

    I am contacting Amazon about this I was on the page right at 5 it let me click add over and over and never added it to my cart

    • Kimc

      It showed available and would not add to cart or would say error.. grr

      • Mandy

        It would let me add it to my cart as well, but never was there…. :/

  15. Jennifer Jones

    Gone! 🙁

  16. Brittney

    Showed it available, but wouldn’t let me put it in the cart. It kept giving an error. Dang!

  17. Rashidah

    It would not add to my cart! Now it’s gone at 5:02 pm! This is ridiculous! This was a complete mess!

  18. Jp23

    Was on there in plenty of time, but couldn’t actually add to cart either. Now the page is just blank. What a joke.

  19. Erika

    It would never add to my cart. Grrr. I tried on a desktop and mobile phone 🙁

  20. StacyKay

    That was a joke and waste of time!!! 😒 boo! It never even would let me add to cart just kept saying problem adding to cart

    • Kristin

      Me too! 👎🏻

  21. Ram

    EXPIRED?? I was clicking since 4:58 EST till 5:05 EST. I tried to add it to my cart but it wouldn’t let me 5 times. More like a HOAX

  22. NRVGirl

    Ridiculous. Added to cart 5 times and cart came up empty. Last time I’ll try to buy anything from Nintendo. I am tired of them doing this.

  23. Melissa

    I got one right at 5 from Amazon, I think. I have an order in my recent orders but didn’t get the confirmation email I usually get

  24. Kari

    I was there right on time. It said available but everytime I tried to add it to my cart it would show an empty cart or give me an “oops” message. So bummed!!! I’m trying to surprise me husband with one. If anyone knows if this will go live again please let me know!!

  25. Bee

    Mine wouldn’t show up in the cart… do we think maybe theres a glitch now that the page is down and they will actually be fore sale?

  26. Amie

    I understand they are trying to create a demand but that was silly. I had one in my cart at 5 but then it disappeared. Then it would show one new for $59.99 but when I clicked on that it was would say try this link-and that lead to nothing. Then it would let me add it to my cart but it wasn’t prime eligible though it was shipped and sold by Amazon. I would add it to my cart but then nothing was there. Now the page won’t load at all. That’s just crazy!

  27. Dani D

    Complete waste of time. Same thing happened to me. Tried to add it and it would never add to my cart. Urgh!

  28. Kelsey

    It did say available and I could hit the add to cart.. but then an oops page

    I screen shot it…but donno how to add it here

  29. Melissa

    That was a joke. Didn’t even show I could add it to my cart until 5:05, and then after that it never would add to my cart.

  30. Melissa

    Showed available but wouldn’t let me add to cart now just crashes and brings back to home page!! So frustrating

  31. CJ

    Yes, same for me as everyone else. Kept ‘adding to cart’ which would take me to an empty cart. I was on, along with my SIL & mom, constantly refreshing from 15 mins before to 15 after. Oh well, I’m sure they will have more in stock leading up to the holidays but sorry I wasted my time.

  32. Sara

    That’s super maddening and very frustrating. I was on there at 3:58 and kept refreshing and it was always unavailable. Then it said add to cart, hit that 20 times, nothing happened kept saying cart was empty. Now the page is just white?

    • Jtk

      Same exact thing happened to me 🙁

  33. Sandy

    Complete BS waste of time.

  34. Valerie

    I had one in my cart but then it was gone. 😢

  35. Jessica

    I had it load 5 different times and select pay with 1 click and every time received an error message. 😞 Maybe next time…

    • Mommy B.

      You won’t be able to use one click on these. Amazon has it disabled.

    • Gina

      Same thing for me! I hit buy now like 17 times and it kept saying cart empty! What a joke!

  36. Kelsey

    Now the link to the syste. JUST TAKES u to their front page.

    Oy…lol

  37. Mellisa

    Makes me wonder why I pay for prime. Like everyone else, was there refreshing well before and after. Total waste of time AMAZON.

  38. Andrea

    Same here. What is surprising is people paying until $390 on eBay. I will prefer to wait until come back and not waste my money.

  39. julie

    Was able to get one for each of my grandkids, thank you so much!!

  40. Cosmo

    My son scored one!!! Thanks Amazon for the email heads up.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Woohoo! So happy he could score one! Thanks for sharing!

  41. megan

    what a joke!

  42. Shawn

    I was on 5 minutes till 5. Kept hitting refresh so I wouldn’t miss it. Once it became available, I tried to add it to my card, and got an error message. Tried this for 5 minutes and kept getting the error message, then they were no longer available. My computer is very fast, but your site was too overloaded. Bad form, Amazon.

  43. dc

    Got 2 on amazon

    • H

      How can you get 2 when it says one per account??

      • dc

        2 accounts

        • H

          I don’t believe you for a second…

          • Stephanie

            Im not sure how they can get 2 from 2 different accounts because by the time they were logged out of the one they were gone…hell people couldnt even get them RIGHT at 5 so I have a feeling they arent telling the truth

            • dc

              2 different computers. T1 line. And luck.

            • H

              DC, you are one lucky person. Should have played the lottery last night instead of wasting your luck on Nintendo 😂😜

  44. diane

    The link only does to the controller, not the gaming system.

  45. Amie

    They announced on Twitter they were sold out-guess I can stop refreshing 🙁

  46. H

    Why does it have 2.5 star rating on Amazon? Is it because people left bad reviews because they couldn’t get one or because the game is not good?

    • Saurina

      Because people couldn’t get one.

    • Amie

      Yes, people are giving it one star ratings and complaining about how they didn’t get one at Best Buy, Target, Etc. I’m frustrated to but that is not the place to complain.

  47. Sara

    Target.com chat said:
    “Rex:Then I am afraid to inform you that there is no estimated time frame for the item to be back in stock”

  48. NRVGirl

    I wonder how some people got more than one on Amazon, even though they were limited to one per person. I smell something fishy.

  49. Aleshia

    It is so funny to see how angry you all are. What did you expect? Every store in every city and online had a very limited supply. About 12 or less. Every blog known to man posted about these deal. Hip2save alone has tens of thousands of followers. Everyone did the exact same things, starting 2 minutes before signed on trying to get one. I bet there were hundreds of thousands of people that did the very same thing. It is not a scam or a hoax. There is no reason to get mad at nintendo or amazon or any other store. They are the supplier. This is a marketing ploy to get people hyped to buy this product over the next couple of weeks and months so that they can get more people interested in buying it. When it all dies down you will be able to buy them anywhere and every where for this price and eventually it will be clearanced out for a cheap price and it will make a great birthday gift. Calm down, breathe in, and be happy. This is such a silly thing to get so worked up about.

    • Elaine

      You are correct. But special snowflake people don’t like to hear that.

    • maggie

      lol agree..

    • Danette

      I think people are frustrated because a lot of our kids want this for Christmas. Nintendo should know the demand and plan according. It’s frustrating when there aren’t a lot of toy and it always seems to land in the hands of people who charge 5x the original price. That’s what’s frustrating!

      • Siew

        Kids need to learn that they cannot get everything they want. Or should I say parents need to teach their kids that they cannot get everything they want. Some kids just want a hot meal. It makes me sick to see what holidays have turned into.

      • Aleshia

        Its okay to be frustrated and disappointed but to be flat out angry is silly. I mean to bad so sad. Kids shouldn’t get anything and everything their little hearts desire. They need to know what no, and not this year, and maybe next time means. They need to know rejection when they don’t they think the world is handed to them on a silver platter and it is not. I did not get everything I ever wanted growing up and yes at the time I was disappointed, but you know what? I don’t remember what those things were. Like I said before it isn’t about target and best buy and amazon not meeting supply and demand. Nintendo only allows so many at every store to create a larger desire. As I said before this is a marketing ploy. My sister worked at target and they were not allowed to even place them on the shelf until the exact time these companies allow. You knew this was a hot buy and you knew that thousands of people were trying to get their hands on one and that there was very limited amount You should always hope for the best but expect the worst on things like this. Now excuse me while I go have dinner with my beautiful family who are here and happy and safe. Better than any nintendo out there.

  50. Shawna

    This is how a hot item goes anyways. I can not believe so many people are complaining about this. You didn’t get one now well later you will its not like they are never going to have them again. Our stores around here had 20 to 35 and people were waiting up to 2.5 hours in line outside to get one.
