Ohh I'm sorry, is arguing with strangers on the internet over video games supposed to actually have any deeper meaning? Do you think any of your posts here are anything other than "hot air"? Don't kid yourself.

At this point, It's like telling any of the heads of Argonaut games in the mid-late nineties that they should be eager and happy to work with Nintendo again should the opportunity arise, and acting incredulous if they told you to stick it.

And you keep making this false asserion that I'm claiming "Nintendo had been stupid in the past and therefore will be stupid in the future", which is complete nonsense. The actual logic I'm employing is  "Nintendo has been demonstrably foolish and greedy many times in the past and therefore we shouldn't assume that they will not be in the future". I mean really, what reasons do we actually have to assume that Nintendo definitely will not make greedy, anti-consumer decisions in the future? The online service of the Switch has still yet to be revealed months after the release of the Switch. Nintendo could very easily be annoucing many greedy, any consumer decisions in the new few weeks about that alone.


Side note: I bet you dollars to donuts if I told you in November that Nintendo would be cancelling production of the NES Classic six months from then when during that entire production run every single unit that hit a store shelf was snapped up within hours and was still selling at over three times retail cost online at the time this decision was made, you'd probably tell me off for suggesting that Nintendo would do something so stupid. But who would be right?


I refuse to give Nintendo the benefit of the doubt other people do. Simply pointing out that Nintendo could easily do something incredibly anti-consumer yet again shouldn't ruffle any feathers, yet here we are with people acting like we should just trust Nintendo to be this awesome, consumer-friendly, great to work with company they have never ever been.

You're the guy claiming they will release a "portable" Switch with different shaped cartriedges to force buyers to rebuy Switch games so they fit into the slot on the "portable" Switch.

And you call Nintendo's NES Classic production run bad.

No, he's the guy claiming they could, not will.

Some are far too confident about the future of Nintendo and their next moves.
