I'm sure it will be somewhat revised. Look for new packaging, maybe an $80 pricepoint with two controllers to match the SNES Classic, and 5' controller cords as well.

It was a digital doorbuster/loss-leader. I didn’t get one but I have the Woot app on my phone now.

At the end of the day, that's all they wanted. I bet they only had a few dozen of these, it was just a bait to have people download the app. It's kinda funny that it's backfiring on them now, since a ton of people are leaving one star reviews on on the app marketplace.

It's Woot. It'll recover.

NES classic is coming back June 29th. SNES will run through the rest of the year.

I’ll probably try for one. Wonder if it’s the same lineup as last time.

They tweeted a picture of a totally unrevised box, FWIW. Interesting.

It was announced last year that it would be coming back this summer, so that's your own fault for not paying attention.

You are no better at buying video games than you are at buying cars.

Wonder if they will at least go with longer controller cords for this release?

Nintendo seemed to have done better with the SNES Classic release, with more available at launch, and keeping a reasonable stream of them to stores going. It was never readily available online, but if you looked in B&M stores you could find it after a bit of looking.

I don't know how the continued availability of the SNES will affect their production of the NES Classic. Either they've increased production to accommodate both, or split their current production between the two.

You still can't find SNES classics even right now by just walking into a Target or Best Buy on any given day. Whenever they do get them, they're gone within hours.

I wonder how demand will be for the NES classic considering how much time as passed.

I seriously don't know if I can get one...not because of money, but I'm practically out of HDMI slots.

I've seen SNES classics sitting on the shelf at Target at least 5 or 6 times recently. If you really want one, they aren't that hard to find.

I bought one already several months ago on a blink and miss Amazon flash sale. So I'm good.

I'm just saying that here in So. Cal, I've walked into Best Buy and Target a few times post-purchase and have yet to see them readily available.
