Nintendo revealed pre-orders for the SNES Classic Mini will be opened up at various retailers in "late August."
Nintendo also said it will ship a "significant amount of additional systems" for launch day, as well as "throughout the balance of the calendar year."
Walmart opened up pre-orders for the SNES Classic Mini last week. However, all the pre-orders were later cancelled as it was a glitch in the system.

Nintendo better get the shipment numbers right. Honestly they should offer the EU/JP version as well in the US. Just put the US games in them. So they have extra units to sell.
I'm halfway tempted to buy one and sell the bulk of my SNES collection. The only game I'd need to keep would be Chrono Trigger, but I can get a DS copy of that easily.
Nintendo should stop releasing these things and focus on games.This is just a show piece that no one will remember after weeks and no one will even play it.
That's why they do it. Basically free money.

Oh man, I'm really excited for this one. What's the price point?
79.99 plus tax
Hot damn, I need to get one of these. I missed out on the NES Classic hype.
