Rumour: SNES Mini to Launch Later This Year

Rumour: SNES Mini to Launch Later This Year - News

Nintendo recently announced that it is discontinuing the NES Mini, but according to sources that have spoken to Eurogamer, Nintendo is set to launch a SNES Mini later this year, which would make sense considering how well received the NES Mini was.


Apparently development on the SNES Mini is already underway and Nintendo hopes to launch it just in time for Christmas 2017. Eurogamer's source indicates that this is a contributing factor as to why the Mini NES has been discontinued, although Nintendo has said that it never intended the Mini NES to be a long-term product anyway.

And maybe they learned some stuff about how to handle these retro re-issues. (Hint: Hey Nintendo people will buy millions of these things at more expensive than you were selling it for. So put like 50 games on it this time, Jack the price up to $80 and sell like 5 million in a year ;)

They handled the NES Mini so well, I'm sure the SNES Mini will be every bit as worthwhile, with a tiny chord, and even tinier availability. If Nintendo was going to pull stunts like this, you'd think they'd actually WANT everyone who wants one to be able to get one. Instead, they constrain supply, or are flat out too inept to maintain supply, so they cancel it. And now they expect people to buy in all over again.
