Support NeoGAF

The article is in Norwegian, but:

I can confirm that the production of the Nintendo Classic Mini: Nintendo Entertainment System continues and that Nintendo of Europe will continue to send out consoles on a regular basis, says press officer in Bergsala, Inga-Brit Brækken to Gamer.no.

Beyond this, the distributor didn`t comment about what has changed at Nintendo or with them.

Well we can finally put that stupid rumor to rest now.

Because company prez Kimishima just saying they're shipping out more stuff wasn't good enough.

For GAF regarding anything Nintendo, it clearly isn't.

 

[Mawile]

I'll be happy to tell my friend about this.

We all KNOW Nintendo and retailers WORLDWIDE are part of the CONSPIRACY to ARTIFICIALLY LIMIT SUPPLY so scalpers can make a lot of money on eBay.

WAKE UP!

 

[tolkir]

So, nobody wants a NES Classic Mini now?

 

[PSOreo]

That old thread full of people arguing over whether OP was correct or not sure reads differently now. Then again hindsight is always a powerful thing.

The title probably has people thinking it's "Wii Mini". Should probably change it to "NES" so it's more eye catching.

I doubt many even remember the Wii Mini was a thing.

But it is kind of funny that a thread that has quotes from the Nintendo supplier of Scandinavia fell off the first page quickly, while a thread that's just based off hearsay had people running for the hills.

So chances are:
- It was a miscommunication
- Bergsala is removed from the chain, products come straight from NoE in Nordic countries (yes please)
- NoE continues shipping the NES Mini elsewhere in Europe, Bergsala just won't ship them in Nordic countries. Nothing in the statement contradicts this possibility.

I told everyone to relax, but no one listens. It was like this all over again:

The thread(s?) for that picture was a rollercoaster ride. Legendary.

Dunno, with the way the title was worded I was confused on what the topic was about and I had no idea what the website was so I avoided the topic until I saw it bumped a few times then clicked and was happy again.

If it read like "NES Mini Confirmed Not Cancelled Confirmed" or something like that, people would've jumped in I wager.

Now that we know all about the NX, I am extremely happy that thing wasn't real.

 

[NSESN]

The rumor didn't make sense in the first place.

 

[Oersted]

Who was the source for the rumour anyway

Now that we know all about the NX, I am extremely happy that thing wasn't real.

Being extremely happy that a very obvious fake is fake summarizes the current climate quite well

There are quotes from the same Nintendo supplier of Scandinavia about the original subject: https://www.gamer.no/artikler/nintendo-mini-classic-skal-ikke-selges-mer-i-norden/376506
(Google Translate)

"Website Spillhistorie.no has however made contact with Johan Lenngerd in Bergsala AB, confirming the information.

- It is true that we have notified the stores of scheduled deliveries, and that after this do not come more Nintendo Classic Mini: NES to the north, he said to the website. "

I should note that their statements technically do not contradict each other.

Norwegian retailer on facebook or something

 

[InfiniteCombo]

Because company prez Kimishima just saying they're shipping out more stuff wasn't good enough.

Yes, because Nintendo is always known for its 100% crystal clear messaging, 100% of the time.

Spoiler

Right...

Although, this is really good news for European GAFers that want an NES Mini. Hopefully whatever "trickle down" rate they get is better than the absolute dogshit that we Americans are getting.

I have yet to see one of these things in an actual store. For all I know, it may not even be real

 

[Robin64]

Tesco had a shitload in stock just yesterday.

 

[franklyshankly]

But didn't multiple retailers deactivate their store pages for the item? Was that just coincidence?

 

[ggx2ac]

Good thing I ignored the original thread. lol

 

[TheMoon]

Yes, because Nintendo is always known for its 100% crystal clear messaging, 100% of the time.

Right...

Yes, very unclear. What could it mean.

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.

 

[Nosgotham]

People were talking so much shit about Nintendo, taking a random rumor on the internet as fact. It's funny to read threads like that afterwards.

 

[Mr-Joker]

That old thread full of people arguing over whether OP was correct or not sure reads differently now. Then again hindsight is always a powerful thing.

It's because people just jump to conclusion instead of you know using their brain and thinking about this logically.

It will happen again because they never learn.

Yes, very unclear. What could it mean.

Clearly it means that Nintendo is leaving the console market and going third party. ;p

 

[Cuburt]

I skipped the last thread but I'm sure most of the people there hsve skipped this one.

 

[jmizzal]

That old thread full of people arguing over whether OP was correct or not sure reads differently now. Then again hindsight is always a powerful thing.

But I canceled my Switch Preorder cuz Nintendo stopped producing the NES mini /s

 

[ggx2ac]

I skipped the last thread but I'm sure most of the people there hsve skipped this one.

Yeah, it as though this thread is dead because there's no negative news.

 

[fernoca]

Title should have been:
Gamer.no rumor: Nintendo Mini ceasing production in Europe?

And even have: "Zelda Season Pass" on it too... to grab more attention.

 

[Nairume]

Yeah, it as though this thread is dead because there's no negative news.

I'm sure the usual suspects will still try and spin something negative from it before the thread drops off.
