It does not make sense.

Wow

Let's hope they learn from this and don't have stock issues with the Switch then

Hmm...they're ramping up switch production, something has to give...and it isn't 3DS production...They should have handed it off to another company because I know so many people who still want one but don't want to pay 100+ for it.

Good job Nintendo, first you couldn't even supply them for the holidays, and now you're just begging scalpers to buy up the last shipment.



"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."

Hey Nintendo, gonna do the same with the Switch too? Jesus Christ Nintendo makes some of the most horrible decisions out of any of the big 3 e~e

Why? Could it be to ramp up Switch production?

have to assume its mainly because it got hacked, and with no online support, Nintendo doesn't have control.  they sell 30 titles, but people are putting every game on there lol

Sweet.  So the Mini is worth the bloated ebay prices.

Makes sense. They cant possibly make much money per unit sold on that thing.

Anyone who has one can make a decent profit off of this in the next few years.

The pirating on the mini nes and lost sales on the VC would be my guess why they're dropping it.

This is probably true. The NES mini delivered very good emulation in an adorable form factor and at a cheap price and since it got hacked it's basically pirating heaven sooooo yeah. Nintendo's probably not a fan.

It's a shame though. Especially since it includes the controller. Why? It worked with Wii remotes ans people use it with their Wii/WiiU VC, sure it's not Switch compatible but thats no reason to discontinue it imo. I wasn't even able to get a second one for co-op.
