Available in late November.

Nintendo will release the New Nintendo 3DS XL - Super Nintendo Entertainment System Edition in the U.S. next month, according to an Amazon listing.

This new $199 console edition will be released on November 27 and it is currently up for preorder on Amazon. According to the system's box art, a downloadable copy of Super Mario Kart will also be included. Check out some images of the system below.

Nintendo previously launched an SNES 3DS XL in Europe previously earlier this year. The Super Famicom-themed 3DS LL released in Japan last year as well. This North American SNES looks different to its Japanese and European counterparts, as expected, modeled on the U.S. version of the SNES.

Nintendo releasing new editions of the 3DS backs up the company's statements that it'll continue supporting its dedicated handheld beyond 2018, even in the age of the Nintendo Switch.

But the upcoming version of the 3DS XL isn't the only way to dip into SNES nostalgia. Check out IGN's review of the SNES Classic Edition, which also recently released, as well as the latest on Analogue's high-definition Super NES, the Super Nt.
