Nintendo SNES Classic Mini orders limited to one per customer on Amazon

4.2
Amazon UK has contacted customers with multiple orders of the SNES Classic Mini to let them know their orders have been downgraded to only include a single unit.

This is a change from the norm, hence the email, but Amazon said the move is just a result of a “change in availability”. A NeoGAF member posted a screenshot of the email, confirming that he’s now only getting one.

Although availability may truly be a factor, many of those who order multiple units often do so to sell them for obscene prices a few days later. Considering the NES Classic Mini was in such short supply we and others made it a point to report on when on retailers had new stock, it’s easy to understand why fans are anxious.

This is kind of more or less how things are for the Nintendo Switch, too, with non-RRP prices reigning supreme on eBay and at Amazon resellers.

With Nintendo having abruptly ended the life of the first Mini console, many don’t exactly trust the company to offer enough stock of the SNES Classic Mini to satisfy demand, which in turn means scalpers will dictate the unit price. With that said, the company did promise to made “significantly more” stock of the SNES available at retail.

The Nintendo SNES Classic Mini is out September 29.

I think this is a good idea, wish they did this for the assassins creed legendary editions.

Great Idea, resellers gotta make money off something else not consoles.

I'm glad. Nothing annoyos me more than people buying more than what they need and selling it on for double even triple the orignal sale price. I hate people who take advantage of others. Well done to Amazon but it wont stop them from making a new account sadly.

If anything I wouldn't say it's bad, stop stupid re-sellers from selling for a toxic high price

I will have to pre-order this asap, I won't make the same mistake I did with the MiniNES & wait to buy it, since once the stock runs low the prices will increase like crazy.
