“We can confirm that we are no longer manufacturing the Nintendo Classic Mini: Nintendo Entertainment System. If production resumes in the future, an update will be posted on the official Nintendo website.”
– Told Nintendo Spokesperson to Eurogamer.

The Nintendo NES Mini launched in late 2016 and it was a big hit. The console almost immediately sold out everywhere. Nintendo promised to keep up with the high-demand of the NES Mini but the new stock also wasn’t enough.

The console launched with a price tag of £49.99. It was a miniature version of the original NES Mini and it came with 30 games. However, after the discontinuation of the console, prices are getting really high. Many people on eBay are selling the NES Mini for around £200-£250 per piece. That’s around 4 times more than the original cost of the NES Mini.
