So... Great console. Great demand. Great PR by Nintendo. Great way to generate hype for the brand.
Was this just there to generate hype for Switch? I want this console way more than Switch. I lined up for it day one only to be told the guy ahead of me is the last guy getting it. I saw the console in someone's hand walking out of the store, and asked him if I can see it because "This may be the first and only time I see it". I wish it was a joke.
Ever since, I've seen searching for it. Nintendo has ruined me. I don't give a fuck about Nintendo Switch (Preordered it though cause F.U. Nintendo!) but I have a sweet spot for NES Classic. And yet... It feels like it's being discontinued.
Why am I saying that?
1. Nintendo Canada rep at an EB Games (falsely?) store stated that it's being discontinued on February.
2. EB Games Canada just took the listing down.
3. It hasn't been on sale online for over a week/month.
4. Amazon has not added anymore in stock.
5. Nintendo want more preorders for Switch.
6. The console got hacked and Nintendo hates that more than copyright infringements.
So my question is, is it getting discontinued to make room for Switch? I know Reggie stated they're making more, but those are sold in such small quantities that I might as well find a needle in a haystack.
Bonus question: Anyone willing to sell it to me for MSRP + shipping? I don't want to pay scalpers $200+.
