    However wouldnt it make since for them to keep it out and make money off of it?

    I think Nintendo likes to make people want their stuff.

    Every time you hear there is Switch stock, people are lining up to get it. Nintendo is controlling their appetite and keeping themselves on your mind.

    I don't think Nintendo cares about making a boat load of money in one year. They care about being relevant for several years.

      We do have to realize that they have to juggle between having too much stock and getting burned (leading you to burying them like Atari ET) or being conservative and not having enough.

      Plus factor in that we don't know how fast the factories can make them and it all ends up being that business decision by Nintendo that we discuss. Perhaps Sony ends up being able to make them faster or something

        Which makes them easy to criticize, mock, and not necessarily root for.

        The NES Classic situation was what it was. Anyone with a semi decent PC/laptop with HDMI-out can play all these games via emulators and roms, but there were more than enough casuals out there who would have bought these systems off the shelf. Those folks lost out unnecessarily.

          For anyone looking for one, NES Classics are back in stores today.

            Ordered one from Best Buy for my wife, who really wanted one when they were first released. Hopefully she’ll be pleasantly surprised when it arrives on Tuesday.

              I did the exact same thing for my wife....

              Early birthday gift that should surprise her since I think she had lost hope of acquiring one at the regular $59.99 price.

                I ordered one online from Best Buy (delivery on the 9th) and then I saw the Amazon Prime flash sale at 8:15 ET, cancelled my Best Buy order and got that instead (delivery this Sunday). I then walked into the local Gamestop at around 11am looking for an extra controller and they have like 18 NES Classics in stock. Cancelled my Amazon order and walked out with a system.

                    Yeah it appears that every GameStop in my area still has them. I ordered one online earlier and it already shipped. Figured they’d sell immediately. Wish I would have just grabbed one in store.

                        Was thinking about grabbing another to try. I pretty much just want RBI on the thing. I don’t want to brick it though. I heard the old mod methods are not working on this new batch.

                            Lmk what you find out. I just searched around a little earlier. Didn’t put too much time into it. Won’t have mine until Tuesday.
