I would say Nintendo is crazy for thinking they can sell an almost 30 year old console with only 21 games priced at $80 but they managed to sell a console whose only worthwhile launch title was a fucking multiplat. People will eat up anything with the Nintendo brand attached to it.
>the SNES is 27 years old
>>382021702
> Nintendo is crazy for its business practices.
> sold out everywhere
yeah clueless bastards
>>382022275
Like I said, people will eat up anything with the Nintendo brand attached to it.
>>382021702
>mfw US SNES design
>>382022275
not that hard to sell out one of these things because they only release 4 of them
>>382021702
get a job
>>382022423
The US SNES looks awesome though
>>382022847
looks like it's from the 80s instead of the 90s
>>382022375
> Mad that effective business practices are effective.
Next you'll be telling me that the only reason controllers have joysticks is because humans have thumbs.
>>382022953
Honestly? I think that version looks like shit.
>>382022956
What the hell are you talking about, what business practices? They said "We're releasing this plugnplay version of the SNES" and people are eating it up.
Why does this shit trigger /v/ so much? Continue using emulators and ignore this. You're clearly not the target audience.
>>382023231
They are literally entitled and somehow feel insulted by a product by a company
There was nothing more right than the anti-gamer backlash that kicked off gamergate, it just wasn't properly targeted at the autists who make it their lives
>>382023178
Creating a company/console/game that gives the illusion that it cares about it's consumers/players and generates lot's of nostalgia is a business strategy. Humans are easily effected by Nostalgia, Nintendo recognizes this niche and exploits it.
If Valve rereleased HL1 would you be pissed if it sold a ton of copies solely because it's HL1?
>>382023485
If they rerelease it for $60, yes. That's unacceptable.
Considering all those games are actually good
Considering they sell old games on wii
Considering those games were usually 60 bucks worth
Yeah very crazy
>>382021702
>People will eat up anything with the Nintendo brand attached to it.
That or Switch owners have literally nothing else to spend their money on.
>>382021702
>only 21 games priced at $80
Try legally acquiring those 21 games for under $80 and then you can tell me if that's a good deal or not.
>mfw Raspberry Pi with every game from Atari to PSP, with a DS4 plugged in
>>382023178
And? SNES is the best console ever made. Great, innovative games, fantastic controller. Are you really this butthurt over a christmas present?
>>382023878
Why would I legally acquire them?
STOP ENJOYING VIDEO GAMES GUYS
>>382023908
Anon, you don't have to pay for presents
>>382023878
yea, they should be off copyright. It's been 20 years.
What's to stop me from torrenting all of these games instead?
>>382023374
>You fags will buy anything lol
>We literally just got a bunch of roms from coolrom and put them on a raspberry pi with a SNES emulator on it
That's pretty insulting
>>382024741
then don't buy it :P
>>382024490
Literally nothing. You're basically paying for the plastic shell and controllers
>>382024490
Nothing. Supposedly this is meant to be for normies and gamer gurls. Or so it seems, even remotely computer literate people wouldn't buy it. I convinced my normie friend that I would buy her an xbox one controller and put all the nes game in her computer.
>>382024950
What a cuck
>can't play cartridges
dropped like a sack of shit
>>382025139
Seriously, this would literally be the only reason to buy a nearly 23 year old system for $80.
>>382023603
80$ for 21 of the greatest games ever made is perfectly acceptable.
Target audience is for casuals who care more about the 'hardcore gamer' identity than the games themselves. The people who actually care for the games are just a bonus.
>>382025476
It doesn't even have mega man X
>>382021702
>People will eat up anything with the Nintendo brand attached to it.
tell that to the wii u
>all the sour grapes itt
lol so many people mad they weren't fast enough to pre-order the NES classic. Gotta justify your failure somehow.
>>382024950
>even remotely computer literate people wouldn't buy it.
Nintendo sold over 2 million NES classics despite the limited stock. It would have sold even more if they weren't stupid and produced more. You really think nobody wants to buy this?
>>382025539
You're literally wrong, but the simple fact of the matter is yes, it's missing a lot of games, but that's only because the SNES had the single greatest library of games a console has ever seen. Of course they aren't going to be able to include them all.
>>382024741
>it's cheaper if I just pirate the roms
Well duh.
>>382021702
It's the power of good games.
>yfw the switch and nes mini were 1st and 2nd in the USA, before shortages. Leaving PS4 and Xbone to 3rd and 4rth.
>>382024490
Really, why do companies sell games when people can just torrent them?
>>382021702
I'd rather play the SNES games on emulator for free, but moralfags will buy it.
> but they managed to sell a console whose only worthwhile launch title was a fucking multiplat.
Snipperclips and Fast RMX were worth buying considering they were only $20. Snipperclips was a great game for couples to play, and Fast RMX is the closest thing we have to F-zero. BTW, both have about the same metacritic score as The Last Guardian, which most PS4 owners consider a worthwhile exclusive, including myself.
>father want his kid to play good games just like he did when he was young
>don't want to spend time looking for a CTR and overpriced used SNES games
>buy SNES mini
Fucking Nintendo and their business practice.
>>382026912
The kid will say "THESE GAMES ARE GAY WHERE'S THE GUNS THIS IS GAY, YOU'RE GAY"
By the way, who are you quoting?
>>382021702
I'm just upset about this artificial scarcity bullshit. I want Nintendo to make games, not "collector items" for 40 year old scalpers to buy in bulk and horde.
How is that expensive at all? DVD sets or old books will cost you more. Faggots have zero perspective.
>>382021702
lol, nintendo would be making more money if all they did was keep supporting and updating the form factor of their old consoles. they could support the NES and wii indefinitely and both would print money for decades off of normies and people older than 40
I would buy it if it had a universal controller like say the gamecube's and it allowed you to buy shit from the eShop, THEN I WOULD BUY IT.
>>382028060
why would you want to use the gamecube's shit d-pad on a snes game?
are you a degenerate?
itt people who have never talked to other people outside of /v/ before
80? it costs $176 here.
>>382023878
>paying $80+ each for 25+ year old crusty cartridges with internal batteries with an expected lifespan of only ten(10) years
>can't even use save states and have to make room for a fat ass CRT in order to get the "authentic" experience
No matter how you slice it, emulads get the betterand freeexperience with playing older games nowadays
>paying for games
>>382021702
BotW wasn't a multiplat though... Are you retarded, anon?
>>382031637
>...
>>382031774
Still a nintendo console. Is smash 4 multiplat too?
Nah dude, multiplats are games available on platforms by different companies
>>382021702
Remind me again why people bought PS4s at launch?
Oh, right. Knack.
>>382032429
Inb4 he says Cemu
>>382032429
No, a multiplat is a game that is available on multiple platforms. Why would I buy a Switch to play Zelda when I can buy the exact same game for a Wii U
>>382023878
you can play most of the games online you retard cunt
>>382029085
YOU SHOULD BE IN JAIL !!!
>>382033104
because WiiU is a dead console and you'd be an idiot to buy one now. Also, no portability AND it runs better on the Switch.
>>382021702
80 bucks for 21 games, one of which was previously unreleased?
Fucking steal.
It was 80 bucks for ONE of those games back in the day.
>paying for ROMs
Yes. That is exactly what you did back in the day as well. You bought ROM chips housed inside plastic shells.
>>382034180
What if I already had a Wii U for a long time
Also:
>Switch
>Portable
ALSO:
BotW was developed for the Wii U and runs better on the Wii U
>>382034559
>>382034559
Here's an even better steal;
You can actually get all of those games for free
>>382034595
yes switch is portable
yes it was also designed for the switch and no it does not run better on the WiiU
>>382034884
illegally, great going.
>>382035943
>yes switch is portable
If you have a purse, sure.
>yes it was also designed for the switch
No, it was ported to the Switch.
>and no it does not run better on the WiiU
It literally, quantifiably does run better on the Wii U.
>>382036049
There is no way to legally buy old games. Who gives a fuck about piracy anyway, especially for old games where the money doesn't go to the devs.
>>382036421
>No, it was ported to the Switch.
no it wasn't, it released at the same time...
>>382036829
>>382036942
not an argument
>>382038112
Your bait wasn't good enough
>>382034884
Not the completed version of StarFox 2.
>tfw I won't be able to buy one
