It looks like everyone wants to relive their youth asap, because sheer enthusiasm (and perhaps a lack of preparedness) has buckled Australia's EB Games website for two days now, leaving many unable to complete their purchases.

The A$99 device went on pre-sale 12 p.m. AEDT Monday on the retailer's site. Any luck grabbing one? Nope. Tried again Tuesday? Still nope.

On Facebook Monday, EB Games said it had increased its server space to prepare for 30,000 people, but that amount was exceeded. It added it would double server space Tuesday, but it looks like that may not have been enough.

Somepeople must have been able to make a purchase because the device is now sold out, leaving very disappointed Nintendo fans out in the cold.

People even took their complaints to Nintendo's official Facebook page.

Low stock has been an issue for Nintendo in the U.S. too, where the device immediately sold out after going on sale Friday.

Because of capitalism's tricky ways, the NES Classic Edition was shortly being hawked on eBay for upwards of $1,000.

For its part, Nintendo Australia said on its website that a second shipment of the device would be available early December.

Mashablehas approached Nintendo Australia for comment about the amount of stock Australia was allocated, and EB Games for details about its site woes.
