Yesterday, a headline saying Nintendo is closing down production for the most wanted Nintendo Mini NES Classic. The rumor caused a lot of mixed emotions turning hopeful hunters hopeless. Today, Nintendo greeted everyone with great news that can make those frowny faces wipe away.
So, here it goes. Nintendo declared production continuous, and more shipment is coming soon. No further details regarding that, but at least eager buyers still has the reason to hunt the retrospective console. "Production for the Nintendo Classic Mini: NES continues, and NOE [Nintendo of Europe] will continue to ship units to retail on a regular basis," said a Nintendo UK representative via TechRadar.
The rumor started creating such a huge headline when two Scandinavian retailers posted announcement messages on Facebook saying that the last shipment for Nintendo Mini NES Classic Console. These retailers even pointed out March and April as the final months for purchases.
Here is the Facebook message these retailers posted. " NES Classic has expired from Nordic Nintendo importer bergsala ab. This is tragic for us and our clients when they won't fulfill the orders we let in July 2016. There will be deliveries in March and April and then it's over. We will contact everyone standing in line with us and those who sat in line last will get the sad news by email first. We will still follow queue to the letter and of course, those whose first at all times will get delivered first."
Clearly, the message from Nintendo is a huge sign of relief for all Nintendo Mini NES Classic Console die-hard fans. But, it would be greater news if Nintendo accompanied the announcement with stock updates for the retrospective console. Until today, stocks are still unfound causing desperation to the NES Classic community. But, as per Tatsumi Kimishima, "We apologize to our consumers and retail partners for the inconvenience caused by product shortages. Some parts require time to procure, but we are working to increase production."
