Nintendo Executive Says SNES Classic Supply Won't Be a Problem
With the way that the NES Classic flew off shelves before many could get their hands on it – a familiar trend for Nintendo when it comes to their consoles – it’s easy to understand why some would-be SNES Classic owners would be worried about the console’s supply. Before the launch of the retro remake later this month, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime stated that the company “dramatically increased” their production of the SNES Classic in order to get ready for the big release.
Speaking to Financial Times, Fils-Aime also warned Nintendo fans not to overpay for the console’s $80 price tag through other third-party sites that’ll likely resell the system with a major price increase.
"I would strongly urge you not to over-bid on an SNES Classic on any of the auction sites . . . You shouldn't [have to] pay more than $79.99," Fils-Aime said.
But those who read Fils-Aime’s comments and think back to the preorder situation with the SNES Classic will likely recall how difficult it was to find a SNES Classic preorder, another detail that might not be toto reassuring for the upcoming release. Fils-Aime addressed that preorder shortage as well, saying that the preorders for the upcoming console was “outside our control” with different retailers.
Speaking more on the subject of supply shortages, Fils-Aime spoke more about the scarcity of the NES Classic and put to rest rumors about Nintendo restricting the sale of the console to build up hype around it. He said that the company wasn’t holding back on their production for the retro console, instead saying that they simply didn’t produce a sufficient supply of units. Looking at other retro consoles, Nintendo actually didn’t think that their NES Classic would do as well as it did, so it was underproduced.
The SNES Classic still has a few weeks before it’s released, but if what Fils-Aime suggests is true, it should be much easier to find than Nintendo’s last retro project. Look for the classic console through retailers when it’s released on Sept. 29.
