“Throughout April, NOA territories will receive the last shipments of Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition systems for this year. We encourage anyone interested in obtaining this system to check with retail outlets regarding availability.

We have paid close attention to consumer feedback, and we greatly appreciate the incredible level of consumer interest and support for this product.”
