Nintendo now plans to ship the upcoming Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super NES Classic Edition into 2018 due to high demand for the product. Shipments were originally going to cease at the end of this calendar year.
In addition, more units of Super NES Classic Edition will ship on its Sept. 29 launch day in the U.S. than were shipped of NES Classic Edition all last year, with subsequent shipments arriving in stores regularly.Â
The Super NES Classic Edition system features 21 legendary Super NES games such as Super Mario World, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and Super Metroid. Launching on Sept. 29 for $79.99, Super NES Classic Edition plugs directly into the TV using the provided HDMI cable, and comes with two wired controllers.
Next summer, Nintendo will also bring back the Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition system with new shipments. More information about the timing of the return of NES Classic Edition will be announced in the future. NES Classic Edition features 30 classic NES games such as the original Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, and Donkey Kong.
