Nintendo is bringing the NES Classic Edition back again.
The company resurrected the much-loved retro console, which was originally released in the 1980s, last November, as a miniature device that fits in the palm of your hand.
However, Nintendo discontinued it earlier this year, amid supply issues that frustrated many prospective customers.
Nintendo has now gone back on the unpopular decision, and says the NES Classic Edition will make its next return in the summer of 2018.
Included in the box are a Nintendo Classic Mini: NES Controller, a HDMI cable, a USB power cable and 30 pre-installed games, such as Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda and Donkey Kong.
Nintendo has also announced that it will continue selling the Super NES Classic Mini beyond the end of this year.
The company’s original plan was to halt sales at the end of 2017.
Included in the box are a pair of Super NES Classic Controllers, a HDMI cable, a USB power cable and 21 pre-installed games, such as Super Mario World, Super Mario Kart and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.
Earlier this week, Nintendo warned consumers not to buy the SNES mini off eBAy at an inflated price, as it was planning to increase production.
“Fans have shown their unbridled enthusiasm for these Classic Edition systems, so Nintendo is working to put many more of them on store shelves,” the company said.
