Nintendo’s revamped NES, the Classic Mini, goes on sale today, but you might struggle to find one in the UK.
Most retailers have little to no stock and marketplace suppliers are charging well over the £50 RRP, as Engadget first noted.
A quick scroll through Amazon’s listings reveals that some sellers are asking for up to £290.
