Nintendo has been in the gaming industry for a long time but until now, it still finds its way to make noise. In fact, it's one of the most talked about brand especially when Nintendo Switch came into the scene. However, it's not the only thing that the Japanese company is bragging about.

NES Classic Edition has been released last year but it's rare to see one in retails stores. Fortunately, the miniature console was made available again and gamers can own one from Target stores. The gaming device was stocked on a Monday morning and with the help of BrickSeek, a lucky customer got himself one. The customer had a chance to find a single unit at the said store in Hanover, NJ after he saw it on the website.

Aside from the games, the retro consoles have sparked the interest of many gamers because of some news associated with it. One is about the NES Classic Edition and the secret message for hackers which was left by Hanafuda Captain. The second one is the chance of hacking the console for additional games to its library.

Meanwhile, the phenomenal Nintendo Switch left fans hanging after all of the units were sold out. This is despite the statement of America's Nintendo chief that it will not have the same fate as the mini NES. However, it seems like some retail store has run out of stocks.

March 2 is the target date for launching Nintendo Switch and Nintendo's chief operating officer, Reggie Fils-Aime, said that the company will bring 20 million units in the market on that day. However, GameStop and other retail stores such as Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Toys R Us, and Walmart already had their stocks filled but had stopped selling the hybrid console after three days when the pre-orders started. However, there are no words from the retail stores yet whether their stocks have sold out already.
