The Nintendo NES Classic Edition is back after several months of being out of stock. Nintendo has made enough units to supply to waiting fans. It was a bad decision to understock the NES Classic Edition over the holidays as Nintendo lost potential customers and diminished the excitement of fans. However, the Nintendo NES Classic Edition has reached a sales figure of 1.5 million units worldwide in spite of its supply shortage. Nintendo CEO Tatsumi Kimishima revealed this and took the opportunity to apologize to fans for underestimating the NES Classic Edition demand.

"We apologize to our consumers and retail partners for the inconvenience caused by product shortages," said the CEO. He said that some parts of the gaming console needed time to procure but the company is already working to speed up production and avoid disappointment.

The Nintendo NES Classic Edition features 30 pre-installed titles including Super Mario Bros., Donkey Kong, The Legend of Zelda, Dr. Mario, and Balloon Fight. However, hackers were able to find a way to add more games to the console. Because of a new mod, a Nintendo Mini can now have more than 700 games. A YouTube user named TootyUk displayed his NES Classic Edition with over 700 games in a video he posted over the weekend. He detailed how the gaming console can be hacked and boosted up through Hakchi 2.11. See video here

Hacking the Nintendo Mini will void all warranties but people seem to not mind if they can successfully install as many games as that in the system. The hack works smoothly for users but some games such as Battletoads still need more refining before it can be played without error. Hacking the device has been a norm because it does not offer extra games.

Active hackers were able to break into the NES Classic Edition and Nintendo sent a message for them in the console, saying: "This is the hanafuda captain speaking. Launching emulation in 3.. 2.. 1. Many efforts, tears and countless hours have been put into this jewel. So, please keep this place tidied up and don't break everything! Cheers, the hanafuda captain." Hanafuda are playing cards from Japan, used to pay different games. Nintendo started selling hanafuda back in 1889.
