Columbus Best Buy stores receiving additional NES Classic Edition consoles

COLUMBUS (WCMH) — Still looking for one of the most popular items of the holiday season? Columbus area Best Buy stores are expected to receive additional NES Classic Edition consoles today.

Best Buy says limited quantities will be available in stores on December 20. The company says they will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis.


Nintendo released the throwback version in November for $60. The initial supply sold out almost immediately. If you really want one and can’t find it in stores, sellers on Ebay are selling theirs at a premium.

The system comes pre-loaded with 30 games such as Super Marion Bros. 3, Mega Man 2 and Castlevania.

The original NES was released in Japan in 1983 and remained in production until it was discontinued in 1995.
