Quite sad, really. Nintendo could've out bid Apple but they chose not to.
>turns out it was all planned by Apple
>they are Atari's secret partner and plan on using this opportunity to sell their console
why would anybody in their right mind want a NES mini, why are so many people being dumb
So this is how you continue the artificial scarcity bullshit.
It's good to see you admit the Switch is a success.
>tfw based Apple is going to kill Nintendo
This is truly the best time line.
>Nintendo could've out bid Apple
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
...
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.
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.
70% of any human population are 'followers', quasi-sapients who don't actually appreciate anything outside of a social context.
Never played and never watched, why would I want eye cancer?
...
So fucking hyped for Shitendo to finally announce bankruptcy after this. Will be laughing with the adults on this board while drinking the tears of nintendobabs.
Still won't stop it from being a blunder.
OH SHIT
Here we go again

Halfway to 400 you guys!
Stop samefagging with your phone fucking cancer
>having to deflect to a boogeyman after your favorite company is confirmed to be nearly dead
As euphoric and fedora this sound, I can't help but share this sentiment.
WE'RE SUPPOSE TO BE THE CHOSEN ONES!!!
Wrong g
i want you to go back to rəddit with your retarded epic meme images
kek, apple did the work for them,
now they can wash their hands off the scarcity bullshit and apple would be blamed for everything
expect the switch to be sold out all year
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.
...
only $40 and you can have almost the entire Nes library in one cartridge.
>chink pirate shit
No thanks.
>"We had a choice between making more NES classics, or making more Switches and 3DS units."
>end up achieving neither
why not just emulate for free
that's illegal though
[citation needed]
this is more pschological advertising than making money user
you want to have what you cant have, thats how advertising works
and I dont condone nintendo but this is a stroke of deflection brilliance at their part
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.
you know you have no proof of your retarded conspiracy theory, right?
>hey're always underpowered and have some gimmick attached to make up for it
>implying this is a bad thing
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.
>By going 3rd party they can just focus on making phone games
Are you kidding?
>How_to_cope_with_loss.jpg
It's gonna be alright user, just hold on there.
>actual Nintendo fans acknowledge for years that Nintendo pulls artificial scarcity bullshit all the time (any special edition or niche release, amiibos at launch)
>as soon as knowledge of this hits the mainstream with the NES Classic and Switch, dickriding drones deflect any and all mention of it with "NOT TRUE RETARDED CONSPIRACY THEORY NINTENDO WOULD NEVER DO SUCH A THING"
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.
I love you, pokeybarneyfag!
It's not a conspiracy, it just worked out that way
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
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.
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.
Well, unless you want to import it. They are all over Europe. Never once sold out in my country, not even from online stores.
Nintendo developing for PC would be kewl.
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.
>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.
>raspberry pi
>cheap
>wifi+bluetooth+USB
>emulate anything up to and including PS1, N64 and lots of arcade machines
>can run Kodi, torrents, couch potato, block ads for you all while being an emulator box
>android tv boxes
>slightly more expensive
>wifi+bluetooth
>emulate anything up to PS1, N64 and even Wii if you get a powerful one
>easy as fuck to setup, any idiot can install it all through the appstore
>can run Netlix, Kodi, Youtube, etc.
>NES/SNES classic
>can only run their respective system through emulation
>need to hack them top run more than the included games
>no wireless of any kind
>controller cables are super short and non-standard
>literally can't do anything else
>costs just as much if not more than a Pi or Android box
>supports the publishers that killed the franchises you're buying
wew lads
>tfw you don't live in the alternate universe where Nintendo allowed iD software to properly port SMB3 to the PC instead of telling them to fuck off making them see the value of not only developing for consoles
Well at least we got Mario Teaches Typing
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.
$499 USD
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHA YOU GOTTA BE FUCKING KIDDING ME
Nintenbro here, not even I'm touching that.
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.
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
not to mention buying controllers, which the rasbpi may not even have enough power output to use lol, they are pieces of shit
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.
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?
>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.
Yep that's exactly what happened. Don't bother looking things up for yourself or anything
why would anyone be hyped about the video game industry becoming unimaginative and bland?
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.

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.
Even Samsung sometimes loses to Apple when they bid for components, Nintendo is not even in the same class as the two mobile giants
Disgusting.
nice damage control
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.
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.
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.
