The SNES Classic Edition system will be available to pre-order through various retailers late this month, Nintendo today noted in a Facebook post. No specific retail chains were mentioned.

The news follows a recent debacle, wherein numerous consumers thought they had secured a pre-order through Walmart but eventually found their orders being canceled by the retailer. It’s clear that consumer demand for the hardware is high, following shortages and the eventual discontinuation of the preceding NES Classic Edition.

“A significant amount of additional systems will be shipped to stores for launch day,” Nintendo added reassuringly, “and throughout the balance of the calendar year.”

The SNES Classic Edition features an assortment of popular Super Nintendo games, including The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario World, and Street Fighter II Turbo. It also includes the previously unreleased Starfox 2, a white whale of sorts for many long-time fans of Nintendo’s software.

When the SNES Classic Edition finally is available, it should carry an MSRP of $79.99. In the past, some retailers have taken advantage of the spectacular demand to bundle the hardware with undesirable accessories, and scalpers have listed units on auction sites at prices far exceeding the otherwise standard rate. Hopefully, Nintendo’s efforts to meet the demand will prove successful this time around and will mark an early start to a happy holiday season.
