Your experience with Nintendo is about to get super.

Last year, Nintendo released a Nintendo Classic console, which struggled to gain popularity since many stores sold out quickly. Nintendo decided to discontinue the device thereafter.
Utah video game stores struggled to hold onto copies, too. GameStop stores across the valley told the Deseret News that they werent sure about incoming shipments, saying that the device was a hot item.
Other stores in the valley received a shipment just before Christmas and encouraged buyers to hurry in before the consoles disappeared, according to the Deseret News.
Nintendo said that it will have significantly more SNES Classics than its predecessor.
"We aren't providing specific numbers, but we will produce significantly more units of Super NES Classic Edition than we did of NES Classic Edition," a Nintendo spokesperson told BBC.
Shipments will come through the end of the year, but it remains to be seen if they will be available afterward.
As BBC reported, other video game companies have worked to capitalize on the desire for retro gaming. For example, Sega recently released a Megadrive console, which came with a library of games.
