So the NES Classic is coming this holiday and imo its feeling a little bit strange.

Why should Nintendo develop and release a new hardware when their next console is right arount the corner. Even if the NES Classic isnt a big thing, it definitly took away some ressources from Nintendos Hardware and Software teams. Ressources that probl should had worked on the NX instead such an unimportant hardware in the past months.

So i thought that there may be a reasons for this. Maybe Nintendo already orderes chips for their NX but changed their mind later (we already got rumours about this). Maybe it was to late to cancel that order. So Maybe those chips were obsolete for nintendo and instead of taking a loss and throwing them away, they decided to use them in an NES Classic?

So they might use Tegra x1 chips in the NES Classic to emulate their old NES games and use the X2 in the NX?

Some rumours/facts to support this theory:

- Delayed NX release from holiday 2016 to march 2017

- Rumours about changed hardware

- Rumours about the brand new Tegra x2 chip beeing used

- Odd release date of NES Classic (few month before NX)

No I imagine there are things like the NES Mini and other devices that are floating around Nintendo's R&D that never get released/we don't know ever find out about.

In this case they're releasing it because basically they're not planning to sell many Wii Us for the console market. If Wii U was doing well or even "just ok" this probably never would've seen the light of day. Tegra X1 is way overboard to emulate some NES games too. 

But isn't the NES Classic nothing but a box with a NES emulator and a couple of roms? That technology is laughably easy at this point in time, I'm sure they didn't spend nothing serious on it.

Same with the recent Amiibos, they're failed NXs as well.

No...

No - it might have been pushed earlier due to delay in NX.

So to have some sales in Xmas... but they are very different!

lol, no. THey are not using Tegra X1's in a $60 machine. This is a simple concept that will be popular and generate revenue in a Christmas season where they have no big home titles releasing.

I'm trying to understand...say that again! This was most likely a quick cash in that Nintendo put together once they realized Zelda wasn't going to make it in time for Holiday 2016 due to the NX version.

I feel that they knew that they were not going to be selling too many Wii U's this holiday and that the NX wasn't going to be ready yet, so they needed something to sell for the holiday. I doubt the NES mini has anything to do with failed NX production.

From where you are taking this from?Emulating NES games by now is incredibly easy, and using the Tegra X1 chips is nothing short of overkill for the NES Classic.

So no.The NES classic was a cool idea that Nintendo had, and that they would have launched sooner or later, whatever the fate for NX was.You are overthinking this man,

Edit:Plus, as some users here stated, they are launching now probably due to their situation, where they dont have no big titles launching for christmas in their home console side.So they are doing this instead to compensate.
