precision posted:why not both? Because any money they have available to spend making more NES classics would be better spent on switches. I'm not saying they're being forced to not make em, but it's clear how they could make more money by dropping one for the other.

Uh yeah that doesn't really seem like a safe bet to me. Switch's future is still a big question mark, and NES classic is still very sought after.

Poops Mcgoots posted:You also can't sell more games for the NES classic though. It's just that, in the incredibly unlikely event that Nintendo couldn't afford to manufacture the cheap and incredibly popular thing as well as the Switch because they're that bad at running their company, they're still picking "maybe money later" over "definitely money now". There's no way to look at this that doesn't involve dozens of really bad decisions.

To my tiny brain, this makes the most sense if they are planning to release the entire library of the NES Classic on the switch. As like a bundle.

That still doesn't make sense to me because I know for a fact there's a bunch of people who would've bought or did buy a NES classic who have zero interest in a Switch.

 at Nintendo discontinuing the NES Classic. I don't think much can even be added to that.Anyways, finally beat Nier Automata and did everything. Got all endings, all trophies (I only bought the upskirt and play without pants ones), fully upgraded everything, beat all three hidden bosses and did all quests. Now I just have to read through the documents and I can FINALLY allow myself to move on to Persona 5.

Lurdiak posted:I will never, ever understand that company's decision-making process. Probably something like: we have 10 plants. 5 make Switch stuff. 1 makes NES Classic. 4 make <something else>. Ok, we need to ramp up. Let's get another Switch plant on line. Let's run the numbers...boop beep calculating...due to some non-obvious factors (run rate, margin, yields, whatever) NES Classic plant is the least profitable. Mothball the NES Classic and retool its plant to make Switch stuff. (Please note this is super duper simplified and totally not real but the basic concepts are there)

They control labor, factories, etc and can get space tooled to make your product on demand. They have competitors too but everyone knows them because of the iphone suicide jumpers Idk who nintendo got to make the classic but if they wanted more they would just have to pay for it.

Well I was just taking my knowledge of the semiconductor industry (where when we drop product lines, it's because of what I just said, basically) and applying it to Nintendo, a company whose business side I know nothing about. More evidence that knowledge in Subject A does not translate to Subject B. At all.

Jay Rust posted:Is there a word for that inability some people have to watch old black-and-white movies? I have that but for pre-SNES games There's plenty of legit reasons to dislike old stuff beyond superficial reasons. Lots of old movies are objectively terrible by modern standards because of the Hayes code neutering their scripts and the way that most of them were glorified stage plays until Citizen Kane schooled everyone, lots of old games are similarly terrible because they were intentionally made obtuse and challenging as a way of combating rentals and selling players guides and hint hotlines on top of being broken messes that couldn't save your progress and had never been proofread by actual native English speakers.

The most likely answer is that Nintendo is getting ready to roll out their Virtual Console, and continued NES Classic sales will cut into that market. No, that doesn't make any sense, you're right, but that's Nintendo baybee

Don't get me wrong I think that's terrible phrasing and ultimately meaningless since I don't think anyone agrees on what "modern standards" are. Modern conventions maybe...

Curious. What is objectively terrible? If your argument is that something is terrible because legal or social pressures ban certain material then modern media also suffers from it and is objectively terrible.
