Why did they stop production of the nes classic only to start snes classic? It's just stupid. Keep producing the first one until supply slightly outweighs demand.
As you said earlier, virtual console on switch. The thing Nintendo is totally missing out on though; it's not the games. Let's be honest, the games are a fun trip down memory lane, but nothing so amazing you'd wanna pay $5 a piece for. What made the classic a hit was the shrunken console and real size controller and the ability to put the games in crt mode. I turned on pixel perfect SMB1,2,&3... put it in crt mode and memories came flooding back and a smile washed across my face. I suddenly remembered games I hadn't thought about in decades and wanted to dive into those as well.

    Scored a NES Classic this morning at Target. Last night, Brickseek said a Target near me had 2 in stock (3 or 4 other stores farther away had 4 to 6 each), so I got to the store at 5:30am (store opened at 8am) and there was 1 other guy waiting already. So it worked out about as perfectly as it could. I'm very impressed with the accuracy of Brickseek. I was getting worried I would never get one since this is basically the last week of shipments ever. Supposedly Target might be getting their last shipment next Monday.

    The site really is awesome. Was very happy that the one day I saw inventory panned out in my favor.

    So the Switch, can you not play the tablet part and have it simultaneously going to your screen? Like, one player using the tablet and one player using a controller/TV? I know my daughter likes to use the Wii controller with a screen when we play Mario Kart and I use the regular controller and the TV.

    I'm not 100% sure because I've only played by myself, but I don't think the switch has that feature. Whenever you take the tablet out the tv screen goes blank.

    $80!? Fuck that.

    The stupid shit they pulled with the NES classic supply and this price point makes me question the intelligence of whoever is pulling the product launch levers at Nintendo.

    And they only plan to ship from end of Sept through end of December

    It's basically a tiny computer and you can load emulators + roms onto it. It's pretty easy to use and can hold multiple systems and thousands of roms (games).

    The most up to date model has 4 USB ports, HDMI out, quad core processor, 1GB of RAM, microSD storage, built in wifi and bluetooth, and costs ~$35 without an encasement

    You can buy a basic case, or people on etsy have been selling console-looking cases. Then all you need is a usb controller (which they make retro look-a-likes) and you're set

    Thats cool but the normal consumer isnt going to want to build their own.

    $80 is a decent pricepoint... but these will be sold out in a second and going for $400 on ebay

    Yeah, this is much more easy and approachable for someone who wants to just plug and play

    So, the Switch is sold out everywhere - are they having supply issues? My daughter was asking me about one so I went online to see what they were going for and apparently they're sold out everywhere. Didn't this thing just launch like 3 months ago?

    Yes. They made it with the same parts Apple uses or something. So they can't make enough. Pretty much just a typical lol Nintendo situation.

    It has less games and (supposedly) more supply than the NES classic which was $50-$60; $80 seems a bit much for what it is - a limited emulator in a mini SNES case.

    The bold is the real issue. It'll be the NES Classic all over again.

    Yup, same thing happened when the Wii launched. They've had either a supply chain issue or been trying to artificially limit their products for years

    A friend of mine made me one with NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, PS1, and N64 games. Cost $130 with everything included. If you can find someone to configure, it's well worth it

    These classic launches are dumb as fuck. Stop that shit.

    Use the free manufacturing space to build more switch's. Sell the classic games on switch cards.

    But Nintendo is just dumb as fuck. It a wonder how they remain in business.

    I'm thinking about getting the sega classic console.

    I'll let you know. It's not too difficult of a task, just got to find the time. I already have emulators running on my PC with a USB controller. Just a matter of getting a dedicated mini-computer, the Raspberry Pi 3, and getting the classic USB controllers to get the full "retro" feel.

    There is a new map that shows everywhere you've been, which would help finding new areas.

    There is a hard mode.

    There are chests with armor/masks. There is a korok mask that helps you find korok seeds.

    That is pretty much everything. I'm mainly excited for the trial of the sword.

    There is a hard mode.

    There are chests with armor/masks. There is a korok mask that helps you find korok seeds.

    That is pretty much everything. I'm mainly excited for the trial of the sword.
    Seems like shit that they might want to release before everyone beat the game three months ago. Completely useless.

    I really hope there are enough of these SNES classics to go around. I want to play all these games with my kids.
