The NES Classic Edition is coming back in a big way, which is great news for Nintendo fans.

The mini console will be restocked in June, giving those who missed out another chance to grab one from official outfits.

After making its debut back in November 2016, it’s been incredibly hard to find, with scalpers buying up tons of units to resell on eBay for inflated prices and store shelves wiped completely clean of the consoles. They were a smash hit for Nintendo, and if you managed to get one after all the preorder debacles and other frustrating problems that came with the system’s launch, you should consider yourself very lucky. 

But if you didn’t snag one when the console debuted, Nintendo has decided to give you another chance. The company announced over the weekend that the NES Classic Edition will indeed be coming back to stores on June 29. There’s no information how many of them will be available, but the prospect of potentially being able to get one of the miniature consoles likely has fans buzzing at the possibilities.

At some point, the SNES Classic Edition will also be making its triumphant return, though it isn’t clear at this point whether it will be available on the same day or at some time in the future. Hopefully this time there are enough of both consoles to go around to keep folks happy, and scalpers out of luck. 

The NES Classic Edition includes 30 games on-board, such as Super Mario Bros., Final Fantasy, The Legend of Zelda, and more. It’s $59.99 and comes with one NES Classic controller, an AC adapter, and an HDMI cable.

If you’re looking for a burst of retro goodness, you might want to head out to your local gaming store this June and see if you can find one of these bad boys.
