You said that the Switch didn't have enough units shipped for everyone who wanted to get one before Christmas, and people who couldn't get one for Christmas would decide just not to get one.

That's solved by the Switch launching in March instead of November.

I said that about the NES Mini, not the Switch. I said that to illustrate that underproducing the Switch by too much could lead to it missing its moment in a similar way, which is in fact possible. I'm not sitting here throwing out absolutes about poo poo that hasn't happened yet, but I do think it's possible. Creating a long backlog for something that's not as in-demand by the mainstream as the Wii gives a lot of people a lot of time to decide they don't need one.

Oh yeah, I meant the NES mini.

It's still a bad comparison. The Mini is a one-and-done impulse purchase. The Switch is a video game system that will have more games for it in the future.

I really hope Nintendo has learned their lesson and set up a decent flow of first-party titles for the first year or two. Man that WiiU drought was bad.

You do realize that the shortage of NES minis is because Nintendo has most of their production capacity currently preparing for the switch launch right? Like they don't get to a week before launch and think gee whiz maybe we better start making some consoles. Honestly you people have no idea how electronics are produced

A few pages back now, but surely a pack in game for the switch would have multiplayer using the Joy-Cons? Mario kart or a 3d World successor or something.

Breath of the wild is too "normal", and too much of a guaranteed seller to pack in at launch imo.

Isn't Foxconn doing the actual manufacturing of the Switch, and not some weird Nintendo branded video game Wonka factory that so many people envision?

A lot of people ITT saying Nintendo won't delay Zelda again. These dopes are technically correct, since Zelda is only listed as a "2017" release rather than a "March 2017" release. In fact, they deliberately announced the Zelda delay from Holiday 2016 to the ambiguous 2017 on the same day that they announced both the NX version of Zelda and that the NX was launching in March 2017, as if to shine a super obvious spotlight on the fact that it probably wouldn't be a launch title so that nerds couldn't complain about even more delays in 2017.

Little does Nintendo nerds that complaining nerds always find a way....

They may very well delay it, but Emily Rogers underlying assumptions based on the info she got are really dumb, and I'm a huge Rogers advocate. She's made some really dumb assumptions about this game in particular, like it's a blind spot.

If they do delay it it won't be because they had the translation done "only" three months in advance and had to not do any testing until it was done.

Foxconn, Misumi, Hoseidon, several manufacturers licensed by Nintendo. All of whom are currently working like santa's elves to prepare for the switch lunch. The little nes toy is hardly a priority at this time

Nintendo contracted me to build the NES mini by hand in my garage, so believe me, I KNOW what a pain in the rear end it is

Edit: Zelda is delayed because I hired the entire game development studio to hand write every NES mini user manual

You're right, it's not like Nintendo has an established recent history of releasing hot new products to crippling shortages. The NES Classic is clearly just an outlier...

Next these lunatics will try to have us believe that Nintendo makes small initial product runs and then slowly ramps up. Like it's some sort of established corporate pattern.

It's not really history if it's recent. And it's not really established if it's recent. A few recent non-major console products dosn't compare to this. And in the case of the Wii it was unprecedented demand.

What a weird thing to say lmao. Just because I say "I bet she's wrong again" doesn't mean I'm tearing her down.

People brought her up, I tossed my 2 cents in in what I thought was a goofy enough way and that was it. Hell I didn't even come here to post about it originally. I wanted to see if anyone was saying anything about Etika's probably fake switch as I'm unfamiliar with 3D Printed stuff and figured it would be mentioned here v:v:v

They mention it may launch with a new Mario, instead.

Just a word from the inside, but if you're excited for a new Mario, you may find a dog-gone good time bonus game on your new console's pack-in cartridge..... classic gamers will understand.
