Not quick enough, my pretties

The NES Mini could be back in production, as a few retailers had just released (and run out) of more stock

It's as you read in the headline, folks. The NES Mini allegedly came back into stock briefly yesterday before getting totally wiped out again in just about a day.

For those who haven't been aware of it, the NES Mini released late last year and contained a bunch of classic NES games, though hackers recently managed to side-load a bunch more onto the system.

Trying to get your hands on an NES Mini is pretty well impossible, but one great piece of good news to take away from this is that Nintendo is still producing the itty consoles.

Argos sent out emails early yesterday announcing that there were limited numbers back in store, though they sold out quicker than a tray of cream buns at a bake sale. GAME (specifically Coventry's branch) announced last week that it, too, had limited stock of the NES and Sega Mega Drive back in, but these were snatched up sharpish.

It's a long shot, but you could always check in at your local GAME, Argos, or Tesco to see if they might just have one collecting dust somewhere in a back room. If you're lucky enough to go to the right place at the right time.
