We are starting to see pre-order listings appear at Amazon, Walmart and Best Buy for the SNES Classic.

According to a statement from Nintendo (down below), the company does intend to produce more SNES Editions than it did for the NES Edition. It will ship the units from September 29th until the end of the calendar year, with it has no announcements for anything beyond that.
Head below for a look at the European version of the new Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Nintendo Entertainment System.
Back in April rumors began to surface online about the existence of the fabled SNES Classic Edition. Nintendo officially announced that it would cease production on the NES Classic Mini, suggesting that it would become even more impossible to ever get your hands one than it already was. However, a report from Eurogamer hinted that not all was lost, as Nintendo was reportedly already deep in development on what would become the Super Nintendo Entertainment System Classic Mini Edition. At the time, it seemed to good to be true even with some of the setbacks the orignal re-release suffered including tiny wired controllers and a fixed number of built-in games. But none of that matters now, Nintendo has officially announced the new SNES Classic Edition. Expand Expanding Close
