Good news. If you were one of the many who missed out on getting your hands on the NES Classic Edition in 2016, Nintendo has announced that the mini edition of the classic console, which was plagued with stock shortages when it was first released, is due to be restocked next month.

The NES Classic Edition will return to stores on June 29th. This system as well as the Super NES Classic Edition are expected to be available through the end of the year.

This announcement follows news that Nintendo will be launching streamable NES classics as part of their Nintendo Switch Online service, which launches in September.

The NES Classic is sure to be the hit of the holidays and Nintendo is fully embracing their 8-bit roots. The company is bringing back some other retro pieces in another blast from the past.

The Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition system, which includes 30 classic NES games such as Super Mario Bros., Metroid, Donkey Kong, The Legend of Zelda, Kirby’s Adventure and PAC-MAN, launches on November 11th. But it’s not just the launch of this retro console that’ll see you remembering the glory days of gaming.

On the night of November 10th, fans who visit the Nintendo NY store in Rockefeller Plaza will have a blast in the past with an ’80s-themed launch event. On launch weekend (from November 11th – 13th), Nintendo is also bringing back its righteously nostalgic Power Line for three days only. Plus on November 10th and November 11th, Nintendo’s social media channels will go completely retro to a time when “social media” involved trading passwords and game tips on the school bus.
