So, today I went to Best Buy to try and get an NES Classic. If you don't know what an NES Classic is, basically it's a mini version of Nintendo's first game console (the Nintendo Entertainment System) from the 80's with 30 classic games preloaded on it. A lot of people really want this thing because of the nostalgia factor and it's been perpetually sold out practically everywhere since it released because Nintendo only made like 5, so a week ago Nintendo announced that they were going to be making more shipments so that everyone who wants one can get an NES Classic and enjoy a rousing game of Super Mario Bros. 2. Wait, no, they actually discontinued it. It was announced that stores would be getting their last shipments in April, and a few days ago Best Buy tweeted that they would have some in stock on April 24th. Since it was my last chance to get one that wasn't $1,000 on eBay, I decided I might as well give it a go and woke up at 8:00 to go wait outside Best Buy in the frigid morning air with all the other hopeless people. I thought that since it would probably be their last shipment ever, they might have more in stock to get all of them out of the warehouse. Like, maybe 15.
They had LITERALLY SIX. And of course the serious Nintendo people had already been camping out near the door with their beach chairs for hours at that point. Whatever. I got a burrito on the way home and felt better. (I work at GameStop, and if one more person calls asking if we have any NES Classics in stock I'm going to quit. Like, buddy, I can't even get one...)
