Nintendo Classic Mini NES UK stock update: Fate of console CONFIRMED by Nintendo
Nintendo confirms the fate of the Mini NES
The fate of the Nintendo Classic Mini NES has been confirmed, as Nintendo issues a statement about UK stock availability.
A Nintendo spokesperson recently said that the console had been discontinued in North America, and that retailers would receive their last shipments of the year in April.
Slightly less clear was the status of the Mini NES in the UK and other territories.
However, in a statement to Express Online, a Nintendo spokesperson confirmed the worst, explaining that the company was no longer manufacturing the console in the region.
"We can confirm that we are no longer manufacturing the Nintendo Classic Mini: Nintendo Entertainment System," reads a Nintendo UK statement.
"If production resumes in the future, an update will be posted on the official Nintendo website."
While this is bad news for fans, the statement suggests that the Mini NES could return in the future.
