Nintendo has announced that it will launch the Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Nintendo Entertainment System (or Mini SNES), a petite version of its early-1990s machine, on 29 September.

However, the Mini NES offered smooth, accurate emulations, configured to run on modern TVs, with a variety of graphics modes, and in a nostalgic package. It’s not clear yet if Nintendo will support the Mini SNES with a larger production run than its predecessor.
