The Black Friday deal is coming from Catch Of The Day and works via a pre-order setup. Interested buyers will be able to place their orders for the highly sought after console for just $99.99, which is the standard retail price. And while the pricing does not necessarily fit into the standard discounted deals, the benefit -- at this point -- is getting hands on the NES Classic Edition at all.
However, those who wish to partake in the deal will need to have a Catch Club membership before the sale begins.

It is unknown how many orders Catch Of The Day can actually take, but it probably is not as many as gamers would like. Nintendo itself has admitted that few units were produced the first time around, but the company is working on getting more stock out to the public before the holidays hit. Nostalgic gamers will therefore have more chances to obtain the NES Classic Edition.
In particular, various reports have indicated that Target is expecting a new shipment sometime in the first few days of December. However, this shipment is likely to be minimal as well. As such, individuals will need to wait until Nintendo makes the official announcement that the NES Classic Edition is back in stock.
There will be a steady flow of additional systems through the holiday shopping season and into the new year. 2/3
