TheBiggerWiggle 04/14/17 3:54:32 AM #57:	You know... shit like this is exactly why I think it's morally ok to pirate old Nintendo shit. They're a scummy company. The NES Classic itself was already overpriced at 60 bucks. Was it an ok deal? Sure but fuck... these are 30 year old games. Even a classic like Super Mario is realistically a 99 cent game in the year 2017. It's clear why they did this: They want people to keep buying digitally on the Switch. Why have customers pay an average of $2 for a game like Super Mario when you can charge them $5 and not include any other games? Nintendo is such a shitty, anti-consumer company. They don't deserve any more than one fucking dollar for any of these old ass games. I grew up playing them too! Note to mods: I am not condoning piracy. Generally I am against piracy, however this is such a blatant consumer rip off that I cannot show any sympathy to Nintendo for missed sales due to piracy. I am not explaining how to pirate either.

apolloooo 04/14/17 4:56:07 AM #65:	DevsChum posted... One time Nintendo built a house. They grabbed some plywood and started nailing it together. They didn't really know how to keep it on the ground so they decided to put a rock on top of it. Then one of the guys hit his thumb with a hammer. So they rushed him to the grocery store and asked for a paralegal. Despite being informed they needed a doctor at the hospital, Nintendo proceded to grab a floppy disk and rub it over his ankle. They were going to then return to building the house, but they couldn't find it. So they just discontinued the whole thing.

It's sad that literally everyone here disbelieves Nintendo's official explanations. To me the price is off either way you look at it. If we're looking at worth, I still think 60 for 30 NES games is just too much. I think 20-30 would have been more reasonable if we're looking at consumer value. If you're looking at the revenue side of it, they clearly undercharged. There are people out there willing to spend over 150 bucks for this thing on the second hand market. Now that it's discontinued that number will likely go up even higher (people are already asking 300 on ebay). Realistically they could have priced the thing at 100 and it still would have been flying off the shelf. I guess in the end 60 is just a weird price point IMO. --- I have trouble concentrating because I have 80HD. <cite>TheBiggerWiggle posted [p:877168980] in Nintendo d...

Look at all these posts begging for the mini I mean they could also be like me where I pretty much scalp any limited Nintendo products because of how incompetent they can get when it comes to demand. I mean I bought a Shulk amiibo one time for $12.99 and manage to sell one on ebay for $80's! They tend to be very good investments, though it is to say I do lose out because not all limited edition items from Nintendo are big sellers.
