Really makes you wonder. CreviceCretin - Mario games are for little kids grow up and kill something. ^ 213 people agree that it's ignorance at its finest. reportquote

Really makes you wonder. Just like Nintendo you missed them by a year :P. PS4 - Because it was the next gen console i was the most interested in. Warrior - Because i usually pick the Warrior class in MMORPGs when i played them. reportquote

But... it was really discontinued and the shortage was artificial when it was out like a year ago... | PSN - JSampG / NNID - Sampsonj | Toadette of the MK8 Deluxe board "27,146 sales is a decrease from 26,114 sales (Paraphrase)" - Linetrix (edited 3 hours ago)reportquote

Really makes you wonder. The fact that Nintendo have just now decided to announce another run doesn't erase the fact that people had to pay an arm and a leg from scalpers if they wanted one due to Nintendo's awful handling the first time around. The availability backlash could have been avoided had they simply said "we can see how popular this product is, and we didn't predict how fast it would sell out, those who want one for retail price should hold out for a possible future reprint" or something along those lines. Thank God for Jim! reportquote

Garrafan 2 hours ago#7 It was handled terribly but I don't think it was artificial. Didn't the classic genesis not sell so well? Switch FC SW-7054-1677-2803 feel free to add me! http://i.imgur.com/rppjQec.png http://i.imgur.com/frnXxyM.gif reportquote

They sell well during Christmas time and they've been around for several years. The demand wasn't as crazy as the NES but it still does well. the end of one nightmare, prelude to the another...

doutforharambe 1 hour ago#11 I am genuinely shocked by that announcement.  Also hopeful that the snes mini will have a bigger production run. Supposedly launch shipments for that are greater than the entire nes mini production run.  We'll find out soon enough. Playing dat Persona 5! reportquote

dextorboot 1 hour ago#13 I'm shocked as well, but in my case it's too late. I got tired of not being able to get one and built a retropie instead. It's why I shrugged when the SNES classic was announced I didn't care either. I do wish the front end I'm using were more user friendly like these are but it is what it is. reportquote

DifferentialEquation 1 hour ago#14 This is Nintendo. You have to read between the lines. What they really mean by this is that they've acquired a few dozen or so defective units which they'll refurb and put up for sale some time next year. "If the day does not require an AK, it is good."
