Following the news that the NES Classic Mini console was being discontinued in North American territories, it’s now reported by Eurogamer that the miniature NES console is no longer in production in Europe. Which means it’s no longer in production at all. Anywhere.
Nintendo has said that the NES Mini, which came preloaded with 30 classic NES games, was never intended to be a long term product. The console launched last year in time for Christmas, and retailers sold out almost immediately. Despite high demand the stocks were never really replenished.
Nintendo told Eurogamer, ‘If production resumes in the future, an update will be posted on the official Nintendo website.’
Luckily for everyone, despite the NES Mini costing a mere £49.99 at launch, there are units available on eBay for many times that price.
