Earlier this year, Nintendo confirmed that they would sieze the production of NES Classic Mini. It wound up selling 2.3 million units - but there was still a huge number of people who never got the unit. Yesterday, we revealed that the Super NES Classic Edition has been announced, and we reached out to Nintendo to ask if there will be the same shortage this time around as well, this was their official response:
"We aren't providing specific numbers, but we will produce significantly more units of Super NES Classic Edition than we did of NES Classic Edition.
Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super NES Classic Edition is currently planned to ship from Sept. 29 until the end of calendar year 2017. At this time, we have nothing to announce regarding any possible shipments beyond this year.
Our long-term efforts are focused on delivering great games for the Nintendo Switch system and continuing to build momentum for that platform, as well as serving the more than 63 million owners of Nintendo 3DS family systems. We are offering Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super NES Classic Edition in special recognition of the fans who show tremendous interest our classic content."
Hopefully, significantly more is enough to satisfy demand that is bound to be higher given the quality of the SNES titles included with the console.
