The original plan was to stop production in 2017 but Reggie Fils-Aime, President of Nintendo America, has stated that production for the SNES Classic Edition has “dramatically increased.”

Opinion:

Nintendo should keep producing these for at least two years. If Nintendo really wants to bring in larger revenues each quarter rather than the end of the year, I would just have a limited launch every monthly quarter end. That way, it satisfiys Nintendo’s need for more revenue since the Switch only releases one huge launch per month and fans will be able to obtain a SNES classic or NES classic at specific times.

If you’re worried that they will run out of consoles again similar to the NES Classic, Nintendo has stated they will release SIGNIFICANTLY more units than the NES classic.

It’ll come with HDMI, two SNES controllers, and a USB charging cable. A unique feature of the console will be the game, Star Fox 2, which was never released. It won’t be available to play unless you beat the original Star Fox on the console. Only the first level is needed to beat to unlock the game.
