Nintendo announces Super NES Classic, goes on sale September 29
Nintendo’s NES
Classic was constantly out of stock, including the day it launched, and
whenever it was in stock, it was out shortly after. So you could understand why
people were upset to learn of Nintendo's discontinuation of the NES Classic
edition. The discontinuation also prompted rumors about Nintendo’s possible
plan to release a Super NES Classic as well.
Well before this upcoming holiday season,
Nintendo is going to release the Super NES classic on September 29 with a
retail price of $80. You’ll be able to play with one or two players with the
two included wired controllers over an HDMI connection.

So, when Nintendo said that it had to

that it wasn't making any mistake, it needed the resources to release another
successful Classic-edition console. It's shaping up to be a great year for
Nintendo.
