Launch stock of Nintendo’s Mini NES, the £49 standalone retro console, has sold out at Amazon.co.uk(?), with the retailer expecting to have pre-orders fulfilled no later than mid-December.

“Due to limited stock we are only able to offer one unit per customer per address. You will be notified via email of the expected delivery date closer to the time. We will be fulfilling customer orders in the order in which they were placed, and expect to fill all pre-orders by mid-December 2016,” reads a note by the retailer.
