*Church organ plays* After all the ups and downs we have seen with Nintendo and all the fond memories and the struggling up hill fight against the juggernauts of the gaming industry they have been in for the past few years and now they have announced the end of the NES mini before it was even truly here. Before many of us ever got to experience it or enjoy it. It might be one of the most strategic mess ups i have ever seen in gaming. and it in a eerie way sounds like the type of decision gamers look back on with a company like Sega or Atari and think "Wow, that's what ruined them" And this could be Nintendo's big awful decision that could sink them. They completely missed all the potential of that console and all the ones to follow A SNES mini, a N64 mini, A HD back lit OG gameboy. The retro market alone would make Nintendo so much profit. Then with the switch on top of that. It could have been a flash blaze and now they only have a camp fire. A console with all the potential in the world to make them the prosperous brand we all know and love again.
. A console that sold more in 30 days than the Wii U sold in 6 months. Has Nintendo given up? Or is it just that their sales rep or CEO is on Acid? Why would they ever take this away. I always thought they were taking long to stock shelves because they were making one huge wave to flood the market with. Especially after all the demand. Why would they ever do something so crazy. Is the end near? Why do store shelves never seem to have switches? Why can't they make them as fast as sony makes PS4? Why do they toy with us? Where is the supply to meet the demand. Are they going to die or do you see a optimistic future for us all
I really hope something big is coming. I am so sad today.
. Mostly because i will never get to own a NES mini now. I find the decision scary and sad. I think this is the funeral. We must all pay our respects.
I blame that damn sneaky blue hedgehog who has been releasing so many awful games that he killed the entire Nintendo franchise. Sonic Lost worlds? Awful.... Sonic Boom? Awful..... Sonic All Stars racing transformed? Good but only because Banjo was there, Banjo can't be in a game that's bad. Sonic and the secret rings? bad. It was him the whole time. And why does he keep inviting Mario to the damn olympics? Why don't Mario tell him he has Flu? Sonic is the enemy.
No.... im sorry sonic. I am just getting carried away out of anger. I don't know who to blame so i chose sonic but i really should blame myself.
I still have one little grain of hope left
. It might not be much, but it's something. That little Nintendo fire in my soul has one log of oak on it. I see the switch sales and the launch success. they can still pull it off even if Mini would have made it much better they still have alot of potential in Amiibos and a new handheld. A 4DS? Nintendo VR? All Nintendo has to do is throw the whole jug of gasoline. 2D metroid, Mario Sunshine HD, Smash Switch, Klonoa 3. Punchout Switch, Kirby Dreamland 4. The fire can always burst. We must never doubt

What is your prediction as to why they discontinued Mini and why switch production has been so slow in comparison to Wii U?
