I mean that's like saying we're going to stop selling our CX-5 because we had a new CX-9 come out. I guess I don't see the business reasoning behind doing a "limited run" of an electronic device that there is demand for and that you could sell a ton of. It's not like you have master craftsmen in a remote mountain village building these things out of ground up baby dragon bones.

Well mostly I'd say because there isn't "demand for" this item and you couldn't "sell a ton" of them. I mean, nintendo makes some dumbass decisions but they know how to make money.

The NES Classic was a pretty niche product. A handful of games, and I mean...60 frickin' doll-hairs? For a fixed library of 30 games? 60 bucks would buy you a pretty passable tablet that you can run literally any game you want on. I know I know "But nostalgia" yes, nostalgia. Which is exactly why it was a limited run at 60 bucks a pop.

I still have my NES, with a bunch of games. Easily half the games available on the little mini classic. And it hasn't been hooked up since :dunno:

True but retro gaming is huge now especially if that product is from one of the original companies that produced those games. There were literally lines at Nintendo stores where they handed out tickets, and if you got a ticket you were guaranteed to buy just one Classic. Nintendo was worried about speculators so they apparently registered the credit card you used and your name and info and registered it so that you couldn't buy more than one. One of the guys we play Destiny with was in those lines outside of the Nintendo store and didn't get a ticket. It smells like a missed opportunity to me, but again it seems to be a track record with Nintendo with the Wii U failing and Switch underwhelming.

Some old NES systems and games are worth a fortune now btw, might want to look into what you have!
