SNES Classic Mini pre-orders have been cancelled by some retailers

The Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Nintendo Edition has been a huge success so far, with pre-orders in the UK and US selling out at lightning fast speeds.

SNES Classic Mini pre-orders recently became available in the US after a wait of almost two months for American fans.

Pre-orders sold out within minutes after opening at leading retailers Walmart, Target, Best Buy, GameStop and Amazon.

And now some fans have reported having their SNES Classic Mini pre-order got cancelled from a number of big name stores.

SNES Classic Mini fans on the miniSNES Reddit page have reported that Walmart were cancelling pre-orders for some customers.

Redditors said the pre-orders were being cancelled when customers pre-ordered more than one SNES Classic Mini.

Walmart have now confirmed that they are cancelling duplicate orders for the SNES Classic Mini.

In a statement, they said: “Customers who recently pre-ordered the SNES Classic from Walmart.com will receive the console after it launches later this month.

“Because we want to make sure as many customers as possible have the chance to purchase this highly-sought after item, there is a one unit per customer limit on SNES pre-orders.

“We did experience a temporary issue which allowed more than one item per customer to be ordered.

“We emailed customers who ordered multiple units to let them know we plan to ship them one SNES Classic and that we’ve canceled the extra units they ordered.”
