How to find out when and where you can pre-order the Nintendo NES Classic Edition

Nintendo hasn't announced which stores will host pre-releases and sell the NES Classic, but we can at least tell you which stores to look out for if you're hoping to snag Nintendo's $60 mini NES when it becomes available again on June 29.

And so it begins... again.

Nintendo announced on Monday that it'll re-release the NES Classic Edition console starting on June 29. The mini NES Classic will have a limited run, and it'll be available to buy for $60.

You may remember the NES Classic from 2016, when Nintendo originally released the miniature console. It's that device that you may have been lucky enough to buy at its original $60 price. Stores like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart would have NES Classic stock for mere seconds before they were sold out.

We're expecting a similar situation with the NES Classic re-release. But this time... this time, you'll be ready.
