The NES Classic Edition might’ve been discontinued by Nintendo, but it’s still in stock right now on Amazon. That said, you probably shouldn’t buy one unless you’re a diehard Nintendo fan. Sellers are still charging a hefty premium, and beyond that it only plays a handful of games that can’t be expanded. The Hyperkin RetroN 1 HD Gaming Console, on the other hand, can play every single NES cartridge ever made. Pair it with the 500 in 1 NES Game Cart and you’ve got countless hours worth of gaming to enjoy. On top of that, you can get both for less than half the price of an NES Classic!
