If you have had a hard time finding the recently resurrected NES Classic you are not the only one. The system quickly sold out on many retailers following its Friday launch. Now, Microsoft Studios publishing GM Shannon Loftis has stated that she is irrationally angry at the lack of NES Classic.
On Twitter today she wrote “Irrationally angry at not being able to get the NES Classic. Come on, Nintendo. Why would you short-bake these??” Dan Ayoub, the head of Halo developer 343, jumped in to say, “Right!??? I was refreshing Amazon like a crazy person.”

It’s important to point out that Nintendo sent Phil Spencer a copy of the classic days before it was released but what about the rest of us!!!
The fact of the matter is though that it is going to be difficult to find an NES Class right now, but this may not be a problem for long according to Nintendo.
