Forums - Nintendo Discussion - $220 for an NES mini...

Absolutely RIDICULOUS how scalpers have managed to take another neat Nintendo product hostage and charge much more than what it costs. Quite disappointing how the NES mini was wanted by a lot of Nintendo fans, but ended up being snatched up quickly by people who buy 20, keep 2, and sell the rest for prices only idiots would fall for.


Yes, I know Nintendo does this for business reasons. Not an idiot, although I do still get a bit irked when Nintendo purposely does this to make demand much higher. Great business strategy? Of course. It's brilliant. I just feel a bit bummed not being able to get something i looked forward to for months.

Can't really complain though. Not as if my life is suddenly rock bottom. Though, it would be nice if they weren't so hard to find. I was planning on getting one as a gift.

It went for around $330 in my area for sometime... Nintendo please get your shit together.



This is getting old...



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Nintendo doesn't even care. So they can go fuck themselves e.e If they cared they'd have limit to the amount you can buy at a time. But no, the order from the scummy looking guy who is buying 50 NES Mini's is fine

Nintendo is screwing themselves over. There are people who won't care anymore by the time more shipments arrived. They needed to strike while the iron was hot. i mean, they still have Christmas but come on, most people do christmas shopping during November due to Black Friday and Cyber Monday. And we still haven't gotten official numbers for how it has sold yet. This makes me really believe Nintendo has artificially controlled the response to NES Mini and it is backfiring in their face. Fix it Nintendo...please?



Nintendo, get production up in time for the holidays. Seriously.



This is getting out of hand and i don't see how it benefits Nintendo in any way, let's hope the production gets holidays on time.



Does it matter? Just wait for it to be available again.

Honestly who cares if there are people stupid enough to buy these things this overpriced. Or how Nintendo does business, it doesn't affect me in any way.



Nintendo might as well increase the original price for it. Then just lower it down if it doesn't sell well.



Pocky Lover Boy!
