I only wanted the controller and apparently those were harder to find than the actual console itself.
I just got an adapter off Amazon and use real 80s controllers for way cheaper. No short cords, eitherI only wanted the controller and apparently those were harder to find than the actual console itself.
Why do these companies not simply re release the original NES, SNES. These consoles would sell millions for sure. Hell why not reprint some NES cartridges as well. People would go nuts and buy these retro consoles in brand new condition. I would pay top $$ to have a brand new real NES and SNES.
This! How many did they sell? 50? 100? I'll survive but I was definitely hoping to get one eventually.Wait it actually released and was being sold? Not like I ever saw one in a store. Or anywhere else.
how many do you have? and why? Just to sell them later on at a higher price?
Lots of consumer products have limited editions that often sell out quickly and are never seen again.Has this ever happened in the history of business?
--Company releases a product.
--Product sells out worldwide, is barely seen on shelves
--restocks sell out as soon as they hit shelves
--Company out of the blue says, 'fuck it, we quit'
--Customers ask why, company says, 'because reasons, that's fucking why'.
Nice deflection. A fan is not necessarily a fanboy. However, based on the posts I've seen from you in this and other topics where you think you know everything about why Nintendo does things, makes you sound like a fanboy.
And you still didn't link me to any source of your claims.
I don't understand why Nintendo hates emulation outside of VC so much, yet they activity make it harder to play their games without downloading ROMs.

It's not as uncommon as you may think, doesn't make this any less painful however.
Yeah this is happening.Ok time för SNES mini!
Right?
I'm sure this helps them produce more Switches which is more important for them at this point.
Also, it's really not very good. It's a cute little system but it doesn't do an especially great job.
Please link me to where they said it was a "Limited Edition" or that the whole point was to "gain buzz". These fanboy delusions of what the point of the Mini was really need to stop.
Quote from "A Nintendo representative" in the US discontinuation IGN report: http://www.ign.com/articles/2017/04/13/nintendo-discontinues-the-nes-classic-editionNES Classic Edition wasnt intended to be an ongoing, long-term product. However, due to high demand, we did add extra shipments to our original plans.
As far as I'm concerned this thing never even existed.

I don't understand how people can even entertain the idea of being excited for such a thing after this. 99% of the people who want it won't get it.

IGN said:A Nintendo representative provided the following statement to IGN:
”Throughout April, NOA 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."
Additionally, a representative told IGN, ”NES Classic Edition wasn't intended to be an ongoing, long-term product. However, due to high demand, we did add extra shipments to our original plans."
The issue most have with this is that this is their FIRST mention of it being a limited item. They never said anything of the sort going into this before that statement.Welcome to fanboy delusions:

I'm pretty sure that's what they were asking when they asked for a link. Not to the article where they finally admit "yeah okay this was gonna be limited so just be grateful we kept making it as long as we did" that we already know about.And?
No ones except Nintendo knows what Nintendo's goal was for NES Classic.I'm pretty sure that's what they were asking when they asked for a link.

Yeah, remember how many stupid decisions they make.
Many people are interested in the NES classic but not the switch.
I wonder if Nintendo will address this in any way at E3. Or just say it's for the VC
Why didn't they just say that upon announcement? This release has been inconsiderate of their customers on a variety of levels.No ones except Nintendo knows what was Nintendo'sgoal for NES Classic.
What is assured is that it was from the beginning a short lived project (basically from holiday 2016 to Switch launch in March 2017) and the still big demand for the item didn't make them change their plan.
So whatever purpose NES Classic had for Nintendo was exhausted in the span of 5 months.
