Well mommas, if you were one of the lucky ones to have managed to get one of the Nintendo NES Classic Editions last year or earlier this year, you should really consider yourself lucky. And if you weren't well, you may just be out of luck in getting one at all...like, EVER.
That's because the company just announced it's discontinued the NES Classic Edition plug-and-play console for North America. In it's statement they say:
Throughout April, [Nintendo of America] territories will receive the last shipments of Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition systems for this year. We encourage anyone interested in obtaining this system to check with retail outlets regarding availability. We understand that it has been difficult for many consumers to find a system, and for that we apologize. We have paid close attention to consumer feedback, and we greatly appreciate the incredible level of consumer interest and support for this product.
The last of their shipments are going out to retailers through the month of April which means this is your absolutely last chance you're going to have to purchase one. (Lord, please don't let the mommas have to break out the boxing gloves over this one)!
Mom Deals has been spreading word on every sale we encountered since their initial release and now that we know this will be it, we'll surely be keeping watching for any in-stock news so we can keep you all updated.
I can't wait to see what the prices of some of these consoles start going for on eBay in the months and year ahead!
