Those of you still looking for an NES Classic Edition may want to double-time it to your local retailer, as getting one of Nintendo's plug-and-play retro consoles is about to (somehow) become even more challenging.
The NES Classic Edition has been discontinued, with the final shipment of the hard-to-find machine's production run heading out to stores this month, according to IGN.
Since its launch in November, the miniaturized console echoed a common scenario seen with certain amiibo figures and the original Wii's launch, where stores were selling out faster than customers could find them.
A Nintendo representative told IGN that the console "wasn’t intended to be an ongoing, long-term product" and that any extra shipments made after the Classic Edition's original run were only to meet with the high demand.
While we hope that everyone wanting one of Nintendo's shrunk-down NESes were able to get their hands on one by now, we can't help but think this month's batch will be the last shot for many of obtaining one at retail price.
(If eBay proves less than reasonable, there's always making your own mini-console using a Raspberry Pi.)
