"I just hope I can get my hands on one," said Gamespot.com senior editor Peter Brown. "Nintendo has told Polygon.com that they're planning to produce significantly more units than they did with the NES Classic but we don't really know what that means. And they've put a limited timeframe on their manufacturing period. Right now, they're only planning on making these units up until the end of 2017. Hopefully there'll be more. But scalpers on eBay went crazy with the original one, and I think we're going to see that again. It'll still be difficult to come by."
