I like the sound of this system but I'll refrain from getting my hopes up until I hear some more info. Despite the low quality, I think I'm interested in Hyperkin's retron 1 HD, for $40 it's a fair bit cheaper than buying a used NES with a controller.

What I really would like, is the opportunity to buy some of Nintendo's own products, they seem to always have stock issues on a fair few of their products, most of their special edition games, as well as their Amiibo, but it hits especially hard when an entire system is almost impossible to get a hold of like the NES mini or the SNES mini.

Obviously, I can't know for sure the reason behind these issues, it could be anything, a conservative business model, parts shortages, a strategic marketing plan or even something less on the ethical side and more on the insidious side.

I think Nintendo as a company has two main responsibilities: creating quality hardware and software, as well as getting that hardware and software into as many hands as possible so they can make money for the shareholders.

It's sad to see so many empty hands in the aftermath of such a cool product, this situation repeating itself has begun breeding contempt in me for this company.

I have loved Nintendo all my life, I grew up with a Nintendo 64 and I've owned every Nintendo console since, however, I now feel that the actual people behind the creation of those games and systems are the Nintendo I care about, the businessmen and women can go screw right off.

Obviously they're a corporation that needs an upward trend in profit, but if you lose sight of the business model that made you great in the first place, what's the point? Regardless of how these issues have been created, I know that they have been bad for the consumer and that is only the fault of the suits running the company.

We've all heard the late Satoru Iwata's quote about who he is.

In my heart I'm a gamer too, the gamers and creators are why I support this company and always will, not the fat cats.

I apologize for the negative post, I suppose I just needed to vent. However, I hope that Nintendo's recent business model can revert back to something more wholesome and positive, as the last thing I would ever want to see is the artists and creators at Nintendo screwed over by their bosses.
