>Nintendo artificially limits the supply of NES Classic Edition

>>381930432
Quite sad, really. Nintendo could've out bid Apple but they chose not to.

So this is how you continue the artificial scarcity bullshit.
It's good to see you admit the Switch is a success.

this

For 80 bucks it's not worth the hassle especially when you can just emulated it. Its better to get the switch for at that point. If you buy a scalped NES mini for more than the retail price you are just plain dumb.

>>381930891
Fuck off pokebarneyfag, you haven't even played BotW, just watched it on youtube.

Ironically enough is this is probably driving up demand of the Switch even more than Nintendo intended. It's like Apple is doing the work for them.

The thing is, they wanted artificial scarcity, but but got actual scarcity-- they can't throttle it or turn it off. The Switch is still scarce and unobtainable, to a degree that Nintendo never intended.

Nintendo just needs to go 3rd party already. That would solve all their problems
They've shown for a while now that they don't know how to make a console. They're always underpowered and have some gimmick attached to make up for it. Their consoles are consistently below the industry standard. By going 3rd party they can just focus on making games.
I know Nintendo has enough money to keep going for a while without going bankrupt, but at this point its like watching your old dog slowly die. You just want to put it down.

>>381934137
you know you have no proof of your retarded conspiracy theory, right?

>>381934025
When the witchhunts finally begin, it's going to look as bad as that 14 year old girl that was sued for Napster. It's just not worth it for normal people, and piracy hasn't lowered the prices of physical games. Which affects me the most. Overstocked warehouses and low demand is what is causing prices to drop.

Literally none of these Switchfags have been Nintendo fans for longer than a couple years tops, you're mostly Vitacancer who hopped on the bandwagon and refuse to acknowledge any flaws with your shiny new favorite company.

>>381930891

It's not a conspiracy, it just worked out that way

>>381934341
The wii revolutionized motion controls (for whatever that's worth) but it added a lot of unnecessary waggalan to games that didn't need it.

>nintendo stocks highest since 2008 wii days
Whatever you say. Doomed boohoo abibabubu wahhhh

>>381933604
Or like 20 bucks for a Rasberry Pi + case to get the same type of small semi-portable device.
And you can use it for more than NES games and even as a simple home theater/living room PC.

>>381934140
The moment Nintendo drops their uniqueness and joins the graphics war is the day I quit gaming.

NES classics are for normalfags, no one here actually wanted to buy them.

>>381933367
Well, unless you want to import it. They are all over Europe. Never once sold out in my country, not even from online stores.

>>381934140
Nintendo developing for PC would be kewl.

>>381934341
Not him but it's led me to not buy a single Nintendo console since the GBC.

Their uniqueness leads to fuck all third party games and I don't buy consoles to only play like three Nintendo games per generation.

>>381934140
>Nintendo just needs to go 3rd party already. That would solve all their problems
Why would you want that? Compare any former console manufacturer's software output before and after going third party.

to be fair this port looks awful, even if it's only a prototype.
It looks like one of those janky ports where they used to basically remake games for different systems.

Well you have to remember how basic computers was back then compared to consoles when it came to games. This was the first time Mario style smooth scrolling was available for the PC.

>>381935604
Raspberry pi + case costs way more than $20 man, and you're also excluding power supply and memory card. If you want a decent one it will cost you easily over a hundred dollars

>>381938148
not to mention buying controllers, which the rasbpi may not even have enough power output to use lol, they are pieces of shit

>>381938148
Not really. You can get an Orange Pie+Case for 15 bucks from AliExpress, and unless you are a literal hobo(in which case why the fuck are you wasting money on video game tat?) everyone already has a power supply and memory card from some old phone or other.

Or a Raspberry Pi 3 + Acrylic Case +16 G SD Card + CPU Fan + 2.5A Power Adapter + 1.5M HDMI to HDMI Cable + Heat Sink for 50 burgerbucks if you want to go the more expensive but full featured route.

>>381938413
Who the fuck doesn't have a controller somewhere around the damn house? Also, you can get a cheap fake NES controller for like 2 bucks if you want the authentic uncomfortable "holy fuck my hands feel like they are bleeding" feel.

hey I'm really out of the loop, so could someone explain to me what happened? From what I gather Apple bought out a large share of Nintendo?

>>381938975
>buying electronics from AliExpress
dude good luck doing anything with that cheap price of shit lol, rasbpis are not powerful at all especially the cheapest ones. I don't buy that you could have an effective emulation setup using one of those, and yes I have used them before in my operating systems class.

>>381939689
Yep that's exactly what happened. Don't bother looking things up for yourself or anything

>>381931323
why would anyone be hyped about the video game industry becoming unimaginative and bland?

>>381939770
The Pi 2 can do up to PS1/N64 and the Pi 3 is around 50% stronger, so yes, it makes for an effective semi-portable cheap emulation setup.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqSb5Md8f08

NES games have been emulatable since 97. It doesn't take a lot of get them to run if you only want to compare it to the NES mini.

>>381930543
Even Samsung sometimes loses to Apple when they bid for components, Nintendo is not even in the same class as the two mobile giants

>>381936930
Disgusting.

>>381931597
nice damage control

>>381935606
Nintendo could innovate with their games like they always have. I don't see why having better hardware and a traditional console would stop them from being 'Nintendo.' They've done it in the past.

>>381943392
I expect these exact same arguments happened when Sega went third party on the pioneer forums

this has been their strategy for released game consoles since the Wii

sadly, it only ever backfired on them during the wii u years, because that thing was so obviously shit nobody was suckered into buying one only to realize they had nothing to play on it a year later as is the case with the OG wii and switch.

>>381943947
I've always suspected Nintendo doesn't want their games to sell less than their 3rd party counterparts on their own consoles. That's why their platforms always favor their games pushing the hardware.
