guess im the nintendo reporter here as per this thread https://www.gog.com/forum/general/nintendo_is_shutting_down_wii_u_production_this_week
so here we go

the mini famicom classic sold out in less then an hour in japan
http://arstechnica.co.uk/gaming/2016/11/mini-famicom-mini-nes-stock-sold-out/
not only that
the mini nes has sold out at most online retailers
and amazon uk isnt taking any preorders for it anymore

and off course scalpers rear their ugly heads on evil bay for this "joyous"occassion
and offer the console for a snip
merely double the price

this thing will sell like gangbusters

Fortunately, I can still find it here for preorder.

Having said that, I will wait for a definite confirmation of 60 hz and a review of the emulation's quality.

i wouldnt be surprised if this was false scarcity
where nintendo deliberately undercuts the amount of orders cause they had 5 months to gauge interest and to realise that interest in this thing is huge
