Details of the new SNES leaked in April just days after Nintendo discontinued the NES Classic Mini, a shrunk-down version of its first ever smash hit system.
The firm declined to give details of the games which will available on its new console, although it's a reasonable bet that Mario is bound to feature in some way - and that the system itself will be teeny-tiny.
It is expected to be called the SNES Classic Mini and will probably ship with dozens of classic games.
Last month, a Tech Radar poll named the SNES as the "best console of all time".
It sold a whopping 20 million units and was released in the UK back in 1992, two years after it was introduced in Japan under the different name Super Famicom.
The SNES (which stands for Super Nintendo Entertainment System) was renowned for the quality of its graphics, which pioneered the use of three dimensional effects.
