"Due to incredible demand for the upcoming Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super NES Classic Edition system," the press release states, "Nintendo plans to ship the retro-inspired product into 2018. Originally, shipments were announced 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. Fans have shown their unbridled enthusiasm for these Classic Edition systems, so Nintendo is working to put many more of them on store shelves."
There it is in writing, folks. If Nintendo really is all about creating false scarcity, then you finally have a damning document to point back to if the holidays come and go, and the SNES Classic is nowhere to be found. Could this still sell out? Yes, because it's a wildly popular item, but Nintendo doesn't seem to think that you'll have any issues finding one eventually.
And what about those of us still yearning for the glory days of 8-bit sprites? We still want to play Super Mario Bros. and Kirby's Adventure on the big screen! Are we out of luck? Nintendo says no!
"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."
