Superia 200 is gone? I've never used it but it''s the film I see most commonly available. According to that wikipedia page 160NS is also gone, which I hadn't heard about. That's my favourite film - wonderful colours. It'll be a real shame if that's gone.
I'm not entirely sure how much I trust that Wiki page.
Natura 1600 is still available and Superia 200 is, at the least, listed on the Fujifilm's US site. For now both of these are still available for purchase, production plans notwithstanding.

I actually emailed the US site a few yeas back about Provia 400x being discontinued and they responded in a day. That was the only way I would really believe that it was discontinued.

Denial is a powerful and suspicious emotion.

Well, they might keep it listed on the site while stock is still available? My experience with Superia 200 matches the wiki page that its in a stock-only state.

Another Cult Classic

It's not available at your corner store, but for years many BW fans have been using 35mm Eastman 5222 cine film for still photography.

Sometimes incorrectly referred to as XX or Double X, this film is sold by Kodak in 400 and 1000 foot lengths.
It is re-spooled and sold in 100 foot lengths and 135-36 cassettes by The Film Photography Project (FPP) and others.

Yes, they're made by Ilford.
Pro NS is gone?! That's also one of my favourite films...

Yeah, one of mine too. My favourite colour film in fact - amazing colours. I had a look online but I haven't been able to find any first-hand evidence that it's discontinued in 120 format.

Rather than trying to reacreate a list (again), I'll just reference the Emulsive articles: Every single film stock still made today - Part 6: Shanghai to Yodica « EMULSIVE

It lists Svema as still being made, if I understood it correctly. I was surprised, so I decided to look it up: here is a photoblog from a trip to the Svema factory: ??????????? ????? ?????- ? ?????????? "?????" (??????, ???????): lana_sator
That big industrial building is the factory...

I think its more a case of the name being revived, than it still being made.

Founded in 1931, Svema (Свема, Светочувствительные Материалы) was the trademark of the now-defunct Shostka Chemical Plant in Ukraine.
Originally making both photographic films and paper, the company ceased production in 2000. Some manufacturing equipment was taken over by Astrum, who now continue to produce Svema branded film
