They'll make 20.

Nintendo has no idea what they are doing.

---

They know exactly what they are doing. They limit supply on purpose so people buy them up the second they hit the shelves.

would you rather sell 20 units at $100 in one day

or 200 units at $100 over a month's time?

I'd be more likely to buy this one vs the original mini since i actually had a super nintendo back in the day. But I'm still leaning the raspberry pi route, doesnt seem too difficult and I have zero technical talent....

Those of you that are mad about the supply issue, why dont yall just build one of those? Its about the same price and you can have way more games than what come on these stock machines from nintendo. Is it just wanting to have something that's officially licensed by them? Nostalgia?

And agreed on the comments that they will probably under produce these as well, they definitely left money on the table with the original mini.

I know the rumors swirling are about an SNES mini, but I think they are more likely to release an NES mini v2.

I also think they pulled the plug on the original because of hacking.

Seriously?

I'd say roughly 90% of the people who actually want one could not find one. And now Nintendo has discontinued them. How exactly do they know what they are doing?

---

count me as one of those that wanted one, but refused to pay the secondary market prices

---

Seconded. I'll just emulate instead I guess.

FWIW They're going for $250 used / $400 new on local Craigslist. Forget that.

I spent less than $15 bucks on a USB NES/SNES controller and have all the roms available on my Surface. No need to buy a new old console.

Ah, good point on wanting to do it the right way.

I still own my old Nintendo systems so doesn't that mean I can technically own the roms legally? That's how I've always understood it. Used to have a N64 emulator on my computer but I still have the original console and cartridges in my closet.

Also if they can't get Rare to license with then there are a few snes gems that will be missing from this device.

Agreed. If they don't have donkey kong country (all three would be preferable, but at least the first) that would be a major fail.

You have to own the physical copy of the game to be able to download the ROM legally.

I think he's talking about the recently released and already discontinued version, not the original NES that was released in the 80's.

I own one. My 6 year old loves it. Its fun to play it with him.

I lucked into one early on when Walmart was running them at 4pm daily for a week last fall. Somehow I beat the bots, the website was crashing like crazy. Sucks that they never ramped up supply like they promised. It's a cool little console.

My Raspberry Pi has every game imaginable, but I can't save them as continue.

Also, no Duck Hunt.

Nevertheless, I'd rather keep my <$100 setup and no saving pi, than pay 8-10x what something is worth.

If it has Star Fox and SmashTv I'm in

Me three

A couple of weeks ago Best Buy's online store had a big supply of NES Classics and I almost pulled the trigger. I talked myself out of it because I already owned about half of the games, and would rarely use it. Now I wish I had so I could be a jerk and sell it at huge profits.

Does the NES classic allow you to have "save states" like other modern emulators???

For me that is a big deal. So many games back then were designed as quarter munchers and were downright ridiculous in design. For example, I recently beat Strider on a Genesis emulator... give me a friggin break... very short game but hell bent on death and sucking quarters if you wanted to beat it.

Save states are kind of a must if I'm going to enjoy games that are 20-30 years old.

Yes, I believe it does.

A retropi is still better than the nes classic but the reason I pulled the trigger on it is because I imagine with so few being made, it will be a collectors item one day.
