Current Events > NES Classic relaunches today, only 3 people in line.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Gonna be a slow day in my store I guess. Nintendo shipped a butt ton, guess nobody cares anymore.

SNES Classic is out, people get tired of Nintendo stock being laughably short, its not a holiday season, etc.
---

There's people in my cities swap shops that are trying to sell it for $120 xD
---

I'm opening my store today. We are basically nothing but videogames though, so we shall see how busy we are today.
---

It's Kingdom Hearts syndrome all over again.

Once people get used to the idea that they can't have it, they stop caring.

This idea that Nintendo creates shortage intentionally holds no water whatsoever unless you just assume that they have no clue what they're doing whatsoever.

On the contrary, they know exactly what they are doing. They are creating an artificial demand by under producing their own hardware. They've been doing it since the Wii and it actually works brilliantly for them. This is the one time where it didn't because A) They waited too long instead of the slow trickle they normally do, B) The SNES classic was a thing and you can load NES games onto it, C) The other crowd that suddenly discovered RasberryPi and no longer have a need for their overpriced nostalgia trip (I say that as a owner of a SNES classic).

There's no shortage this time, I assure you. Nintendo is promising so much stock they've told us to offer a warranty on it if we want.

It was dumb to think any NES line up would have the same draw the SNES line up has

I agree with that
---

I wish they had expansion packs that added more games. I know there is a way to do that for free but i'm kinda nervous about it cause while its said to be a very low chance, it's still a chance that you can destroy your system

I'd probably spend 10 minutes on an MES classic then stop playing. The majority of the games just don't stand the test of time.

not interested anymore gg nintendo

27. Super C (aka Super Contra)

I know a lot of people have fond memories of Contra, but today its just kinda boring. The Konami code is still fun, though.

Uhh.... the Konami code didn't actually work in Super C. It had a different code that gave 10 lives instead. Right, left, down, up, A, B, Start... or something like that.
---

Super C was never as well-received as Contra anyway
---

Contra for the DS was excellent. It was my first contra game too.
---

I have no nostalgia for the NES at all, but the SNES Classic is one I did my best to acquire.
---

We've been open for 3 hours now. Sold 6 of our 8.
