Rumor: Nintendo to launch SNES Mini later this year
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Rumors | 52 Comments
If a new report from Eurogamer is to be believed, Nintendo will be following up on the NES Classic Edition / NES Mini with a new product. This year, the site claims that the SNES Mini will be launching.
Eurogamer’s article doesn’t have much in the way of details. However, the site says the hardware is “a major reason why last year’s NES mini did not see a reprieve from discontinuation”.
If Eurogamer is to be believed, the SNES Mini will be ready by Christmas.
