SNES Classic Mini pre-orders in the US could begin at Walmart, Amazon, Best Buy or GameStop

The Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Nintendo Edition could at last become available to pre-order in the US this coming weekend.

The SNES Classic Mini was announced almost two months ago, and on the day it was announced it became available to pre-order in the UK.

However, US gamers have had to patiently wait as pre-orders become available in other countries as they faced radio silence from retailers.

Walmart looked to have become the first US retailer to open SNES Classic Mini pre-orders last month.

Their pre-order page went live and stock was snapped up within minutes, however a few days later all customers had their pre-orders cancelled.

Walmart said a “technical glitch” had caused the SNES Classic Mini pre-orders page to go live before it was meant to.

As it stands, US retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop and Target all have not opened pre-orders for the SNES Classic Mini.

However, this could all be about to change very soon.

Reddit users are convinced that Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Nintendo Edition pre-orders will open in North America this weekend.

On the miniSNES sub-reddit one user posted a thread entitled “Stay alert this weekend”.

Accompanying it simply was the message: “The SNES Classic preorders are upon us. Get ready”.
