Supply expected to be available in stores through the end of 2018.
Nintendo has announced NES Classic Edition will return to store shelves next month.
“NES Classic Edition will return to stores on June 29! This system and the SNES Classic Edition system are expected to be available through the end of the year,” reads a post from the official Nintendo of America Twitter account.
Thanks incredibly high demand for the micro-console, NES Classic suffered from a supply shortage as soon as it launched in late 2016. In April of the following year, Nintendo announced it was discontinuing the system. Several months later however, shortly before the launch of SNES Classic, Nintendo announced NES Classic would return at some point in summer 2018.
NES Classic comes with 30 games from the 8-bit era, including The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros. 1-3, and the first two Castlevania games. For our thoughts on the mini-console, read IGN’s NES Classic Edition review.
