That's easy for you to say
The Snes emulation on the Wii U sucks balls, because it can't even emulate Super FX games, is blurry, dark/drab, bad aspect ratio, no pixel perfect mode, the list goes on. Do people seriously think the Wii U Snes emulation is better than the Snes Classic? Ha ha ha ha ha, that's a joke, right?
Sorry about that. Just remember, just because we don't agree with your opinion doesn't mean we think you're an idiot. You backed up your opinion, and I conceded ground; thoughtful discussion is a good thing. No need to break down.
You glorify Nintendo because they release the very same games over and over again be it as Virtual Console release or as Virtual Console + Hardware (which is the very nature of this mini/classic systems) and most likely you also throw money onto it.
You're nit picking. The device was discontinued after a whole 5 months of being in production, which would by definition be considered a "limited edition" release. Just because they didn't market it as such doesn't mean it can't be considered a limited edition product. They even mentioned in a press release about the cancellation that it was never meant to be a long-term platform.
Despite knowing what you meant there I still choose to read quick fingers as in five fingered discount, fitting on this site too.
How does Nintendo make any more from scalpers compared to them otherwise selling out to gamers what will love and cherish it for years to come? It is not like Nintendo gets a cut. Unless it is some kind of "we will get more interest next time" and... there are better business strategies out there.
That surely depends upon what rule set you go in for (assuming it has not changed in the last 7 or so months it is a rather fractured community or bunch of communities, and that is before the tool assisted types get a look in). Also maybe speedrun rule set makers could pull the stick out of their arses.
This is funny how nintendo re-release their classic product.
I can't wait to see N64.
For few reason, like how they will emulate it, but also to get one because I always loved N64 especially few game like F-zero X, Golden Eye, Jetforce geminy
Any know if there is a rumor or anything about it ?
Because you have to read everything i said. Name branding increase by selling out instantly wich makes them a ton of money on other products they sell plus all the units they sell.[/QUOTE]
It is a good strategy and people who buy Nintendo products aren't only die hard gamers. The most money Nintendo makes is from NON die hard gamers like moms, dads, kids, older people with nostalgia reasons. It is the perfect strategy for that and it did increase their sales because of that. The world doesn't revolve around die hard gamers. The increase of name branding by selling out boosted sales in that market just like Nintendo back in the day boosted sales in that market with the Wii.
Yeah I figured that was your logic, I agree Nintendo no longer really have what it takes to appeal to those that really really like games (or at least those which sort of like them are a good market to have), and there have certainly been many fads in the past where people buy because people are buying, however I am not seeing that the thing sold out because it got hard to find/there was a little scalper induced buzz and had it not then they would be sitting on the shelves like so many wii u.
I wouldn't got that far. Yes, Nintendo does like to appeal to a more casual audience, however, if they really were trying to just go off the casual market, they wouldn't be doing stuff like releasing Metroid Prime 4 (a game that doesn't have that much recognition among non-core gamers, at least, not to the extent that Mario and Zelda do).
