Following up the popular yet hard to find NES Classic[1], Nintendo has announced the SNES Classic. Short for Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), it comes with 21 built-in games. Here's what you need to know about the next retro console from Nintendo aside from well, it being leaked[2] prior to E3 2017[3] twice[4].
SNES Classic release date
The SNES Classic release date is September 29, 2017. It will be available in all markets Nintendo has a presence in such as US, Europe, and Japan. Don't expect an India release date, since Nintendo is not officially present[5] in the country. Although we won't be surprised to see it being made available via the grey market.
SNES Classic price
Nintendo has stated that the SNES Classic will retail for $80 (around Rs. 5,155). Depending on availability, expect that price to skyrocket much like the NES Classic. Nintendo isn't exactly known for meeting demand for its products be it amiibo, the Nintendo Switch, or the NES Classic. The SNES Classic should be no different.
