Well, retro gaming fans, we have good news and bad news for you on Wednesday morning. The bad news is Amazon does not have the NES Classic Edition video game console in stock. But the good news is you can actually order one right now at its regular retail price of $59.99, which hasn’t been the case for a long time. Just head to Amazon’s NES Classic page and choose Amazon.com as the selling from the “Other Sellers” section. New inventory at the $59.99 price point is expected as soon as this coming Monday, as you can see in the screenshot below.
