Hold onto your seats: SNES Classic Mini pre-orders go live at the tail-end of August, Nintendo announced today.
"We ... can confirm that it will be made available available for pre-order by various retailers late this month," the gaming giant posted regarding the SNES Classic Edition a short time ago.
Nintendo acknowledged "the incredible anticipation that exists" for the retro reboot, which sees the SNES shrunken into a adorably compact form and pre-loaded with 21 classic games.
In addition to its arrival in retailer pre-order queues, Nintendo says "a significant amount of additional systems" will be boxed up and sent to stores for the SNES Classic launch day, which falls on September 29. What's more, Nintendo will continue to send SNES Classic Editions to retailers throughout the rest of 2017.
This is no doubt to keep up with what will surely be high demand. Nintendo has seemingly learned its lesson from the NES Classic, the first console to get the miniaturized treatment that was just about impossible to find before Nintendo ended production for good.
SNES Classic pre-orders got a false start when Walmart started taking orders but abruptly cancelled them last week. Walmart says the console was "mistakenly made available" prior to its official release date.
