Nintendo might have killed the NES might be because a mini version of the SNES is coming instead, according to sources from Eurogamer.

The SNES mini (or, to continue Nintendo’s official branding, likely the Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Nintendo Entertainment System) is said to be currently scheduled to launch in time for Christmas this year. Development of the device is already under way.

Eurogamer reported that Nintendo never intended NES mini to be a permanent product. From the company’s perspective, the microconsole was planned as a cool novelty item perfect for Christmas 2016, and the numbers in which it was manufactured and shipped were expected to be enough to suit this goal.

Surprisingly the NES became a huge hit, and demands for the console quickly resulted in Nintendo struggling to meet shipments. The NES’s final shipment made it’s last round this month.

Popular SNES games from Nintendo include Super Metroid, Super Mario Kart and Super Mario World, as well as Earthbound, Star Fox and Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.

For the SNES mini, Nintendo is expected to stick with the NES mini’s plug-and-play setup, and its array of games which come preinstalled and ready to play.

Nintendo did not comment when contacted by Eurogamer.
