Maybe. But it's not definite. They could change their production plans, just like they did with the NES.

The real issue that has me seeing red, is the lack of official and abundant pre-ordering options. That would eliminate or greatly reduce the scalping, if it was limited to one or two per person. Then store employees couldn't buy whole stocks.

Other thoughts:

Yeah, the UK/JP console is better looking, but I'll stick to US for nostalgia sake. I do like the multi-color controller buttons though. Too bad they won't be selling controllers separately this time, or I'd pick up a foreign one.

Interesting also that it appears they shrunk down the original controller ports, instead of switching them to the newer 'Wii' style ports, like the NES Classic.

Good news is...we already been through this, so while Im not saying it will be easy to get...at least we can be on the look out earlier and know where, etc.
And if second thoughts made you miss out before, that shouldnt be a reason this time around.

After the NES Classic debacle, I'm not even bothering with this one. Regardless of what Nintendo says about production numbers, I'm sure this will be another fiasco for the actual fans and the usual feeding frenzy for the scalpers. Seems to be Nintendo's M.O. these days.

Wasnt really interested in the nes classic but this is a must have for me, managed to get one from amazon. It's a bit of a false sell out with these things though as alot of those sold will be to flippers, spoils it for the genuine buyers.

Same here. Granted I didn't really try that hard but that's because I thought once the hype died down I'd be able to stroll into any store and find one. The hype never died down and I will never pay flipper prices so I missed out.

I thought the hype would die down as well so I didn't really make that much of an effort either. I won't make that same mistake with this one. I'll line up early at Target and get it on the release day.
