Best Buy is one of many large retailers to get a restock of the Nintendo Switch over the past few days. Stores like GameStop, Amazon and Toys R Us already got replenished shipments last week. Despite demand for the new hybrid console, Nintendo seems to be doing its best to get as much hardware out in the wild as possible.

If you’re looking to snag a Switch at a retail store, we’ve heard several reports that Best Buy stores nationwide received an unexpected and very small allotment on Tuesday. While less than 10 consoles were sent to many stores, it might still be worth calling your local establishment to see if there are any left.

As for the NES Classic Edition, that retro console was sold in bizarrely low amounts this past fall. Despite fervor quieting down, it’s still pretty rare to find one today. At this rate, it’s very apparent Nintendo wants this $60 product to have collector’s item status. If you missed out on one during the holidays, this might be your last chance for a while. In contrast to the Switch, the NES Classic Edition comes pre-loaded with 30 timeless games.
Nintendo Switch will be sold for $299, while the NES Classic Edition costs just $60.
