Christmas 2016 will forever be remembered as the year people went legit bananas for a retro NES console. The thing was a piece of plastic that only played 30 games from the 8-bit era - but nostalgia is a powerful thing. So powerful, that demand completely eclipsed supply, leading to crashed websites, exhausted stock and thousands of empty-handed customers.

For those still on a Zelda-like quest to procure this mythical gizmo, we have some good news: the Nintendo NES Classic Edition is now available in JB Hi-FI stores, Australia wide. Hurrah!

The Classic Mini NES is on sale at Target again. Yes, again. If you're still trying to buy one (you poor, silly bastard) we suggest clicking on the purchase link right now.

You can only get one per customer, but that's better than the zero a lot of people got last year.

The NES Classic Edition is almost perfect -- short controller cords not withstanding -- and if you can buy one, it's one of our favourite gifts, especially if you don't want to leave the house. But it only plays NES games, and 30 games at that. Plenty of people -- us included -- would love a tiny system to play our favourite Super Nintendo games. Or Genesis games.
