NES Classic Mini: No pre-order? Here’s what you can try in Australia

Update: Limited edition stock is also available via EB Games on 14 November. Moreover, a second shipment of the NES Classic Mini has been confirmed for December here in Australia.

Original story: The NES Classic Mini hits store shelves on Thursday, and many Aussies will be scrambling to secure the teeny little box of nostalgia.

Pre-orders are no longer being taken by retailers like EB Games, JB Hi-Fi, OzGameShop and more, but retailers like Target and Big W have confirmed they’ll have stock on hand Thursday morning.

It’s a sad state of affairs, but it looks like those without a pre-order will have the best luck hitting up either Big W or Target as they open Thursday morning.

The NES Classic Mini is a NES replica that houses 30 different retro games. Find out more about the console here.
