Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo: it will make “significantly more units” of the SNES Classic than the NES Mini

Will they make the controller cords longer than shoelaces this time?

5ft instead of 3ft apparently. 



Well, maybe this time I might actually see one in a shop rather than just pictures of the system. If I can actually find them in a shop without having to order it beforehand I might actually buy one around Christmas. Still not holding much hope for that though.



Hopefully they have 10M, I am still pissed I missed the NES classic.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Why is Nintendo dedicating so much time to the miniconsole market when the Switch is having supply problems? Concentrate on your main console.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

So you are saying I do not have to sacrifice my fisrt born,fight a dragon and not go on a dangerous journey filled with monsters?

I might just wake up at 6 am to get the SNES classic instead of waking up at 5 am.

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

In that sense, they should stop developing 3DS systems as well.
These systems have absolutely nothing to do with each other and something like the mini SNES hardly requires resources.
The main reason why the Switch is supply constrained right now is because they're fighting with Apple to get the parts. And if you're a tech company and you've got Apple and Nintendo knocking on your door, which one is taking priority? That's what I thought.



I highly doubt it's going to be THAT much more. Yes, they're making more, and they're also charging more, they saw how great the NES Mini sold, now they're doing this as a chance to make even more money, hand over fist, a great, GREAT short term boost to their profits and revenue, but that's all it's going to be is short term. They'll be canceling this in April as well, just like the NES Mini. And I am almost certain that they are talking right now about what games to put on the Mini Nintendo 64.



But what is the purpose of the SNES Mini? The NES Mini was a good pioneer to refuelling Nintendo's relevance after the Wii U, and indirectly advertised the Switch. The NES Mini wasn't even that profitable either, so why does Nintendo think this is a good idea? Especially for the price? People would probably buy this as a collectors item more than anything. I hope this won't affect anything to do with the Switch, even minorly.
