There clearly is a demand for them.
>>749038226words words wordsthe left can't meme
>>749038226all they have to do is release a new handheld with pixel perfect scaling and a virtual store with all their old games, make them like $5 each and people will eat it up
Or you simply could emulate old gamesBut I guess that isn't an option for the subhuman slave masses
>>749038226Is that cabinfag?
>>749038226This no longer accurate, as retrogaming now is having Claude do you a decomp with the fury of 1000 trannies.
>>749038339People will eat it up even if the games are $20 each
Around 2010 I sold almost all my "retro" gaming stuff (wasn't really that retro back then) in a garage sale.Most of my N64 games, I had about 40 of themmost of my gameboy and GBA games including multiple copies of pokemon emerald, I sold these games for like 5-10 each to make money to buy other shit. a few of my gamecube games, luckily I kept most of my favorite onesa lot of my ps1 / ps2 stuff that I didn't think I needed anymore. god I got rid of so much stuff, even got rid of many of my lego sets at the time because I thought I outgrew them and they were taking up space. Most of the shit I got rid of is worth like 10-20x now.I had these chrome stormtrooper lego minifigs. I had like 50 of them sealed in the bags that I got at toys r us. I sold all of them around 2015 for $25 a pop, I thought I made bank then because they were like a few bucks each at the time, now they're worth almost $200 now. Even the remaining lego star wars sets I had left I sold back in 2020 now many of them are worth double what I made back then.
>>749038341Emulation is good, but bringing old consoles would do more than that.
>>749038752good lesson to treasure what you have left
The mini consoles they released are now old enough to be considered retro themselves.
>>749038484both phenomena can and do exist simultaneously
>>749038226Why would you post this?
>>749038226Gamecube mini classic would be good
>>749039361Indeed. All my pokemon cards too, I either threw them out or lost them in a move around 2006. Back in the early 2000s I bought multiple booster boxes of the original pokemon cards online for a couple hundred bucks each. I had 2 binders full of them, and I have no clue what happened to them over the years because where I live now I accounted for all the stuff I got and it just never made the move. All my MTG cards, kept them in a shoebox they were from the 90s / early 2000s probably worth some money now, all gone. I never actually played the game either, but I collected the cards just like with Pokemon so I have no idea if they were worth anything or not.Then my mom got rid of so much of my other childhood toys that I had collecting dust in an attic, hot wheels, action figures, all shit from the 90s / 00s since I'm almost 40 now and she probably donated it to salvation army or some shit back in the 2000s, I didn't care back then because who did? No one could have known what was considered junk back then would ever be worth anything in the future.
>>749039598No one has talked about NFTs in years, you are stuck in 2021
so now that software is solved when are autists transition to hardware? make LLE by replicating the original chips, there's probably plenty of archived hardware schematics out there for old consoles
Just emulate whatever you want to play. Unless you don't want to actually play it, you just want to own a collectible version of it for fun.>but I want physical media!Download it to an external hard drive or something then. You now have physical media that you'll only lose if you misplace it or it gets stolen.

I miss the girl who stinks good
>>749040114As someone who has been in involved in retro spaces for a while I noticed that there's a lot of people who are just emulating and moving on. The actual collector market is super small, people who 10-15 years ago would have had to fight people on eBay for an obscure PS1 game now are completely fine with emulation. This has chilled the market a ton. Also once you get into the PS3/360/Wii era there really are very few truly "rare" games. They made millions of everything, tiny print runs didn't exist by that time. There's maybe a half dozen PS3/360 games that are hard to find. I say this because the older market is aging out of collecting and people are nostalgic for the PS3. The marketd have changed.
>>749040754Why? She stinks

>>749041765>subscriptions are evilSo you're poor>beat up and grossly overpricedSo you're poor>can damage your console and you're supporting scum by buying themI just bought a gba motherboard for cheap and aftermarket case and ips screen, works better than a new console and quality repros exist so you can just see the original and repro ic specs to confirm they use the same components so in the end its still (you) being low iq and poor to buy stuff. Got it.
>>749041765>>749042285Also every repro cart so far has been open source so if you weren't such a low iq monkey you could just make your own cart board and solder the individual components that way you wouldn't be complaining about supporting chinks

>>749043486a professional consumer
Watching NES and SNES games become the sole domain of the guys in the 50s, and have nostalgia move on so far that the primary nostalgia trend is the mid 00s, is bizarre. Like seriously, look at pic related. This was always one of the most rare/expensive NES games. Who is buying it at these prices? Nobody. It's just collectors peacocking and circlejerking. Who is paying four fucking thousand dollars for Little Samson?
>>749038226Never happening, they can just sell their online subscription + controllers. Even the mini consoles trend died.
>>749043730Like vomit mixed with foundation and makeup and snot and piss. Similar to men that are as bad.
>>749043724I have plenty of time for myself and vidya hence why I buy plenty vidya stuff. The more and more you post the more you're describing an underage kid with no job and not a man.>>749043741Chinkhelds and aftermarket ips screen have plenty of color profiles, including oh gba an sp profiles
>>749043923Forgot pic
>Repro carts that work like the originals existHonestly, retro gaming is cheap and easy nowadays. Even ignoring emulation, if you want to play on real hardware, just buy the console and a flash cart you can load with all the games. Or get a modded consoles that already has everything.It's only expensive if you're a collector.
>>749043920If buying a quality repro cart and flashing roms getting the same experience as the original is a professional consumer yes you can call me that, one day you will understand kiddo
>>749040695>experience(TM) games on hardware resembling the OGKill yourself shill, I'm not buying your shit
this thread
>>749044069This is what I do now, but I also amassed a large collection in the 90s and 2000s. Mostly just from never selling my old games and buying whatever old games I wanted to play when they were still cheap. I don't buy anything anymore besides flash carts, but my existing collection is worth a ton.
>>749043765Somehow toy manufacturers manage to do it just fine with their electronic garbage and continue launching different ones every year.Nintendo did it for Alarmo and their NSO retro controllers, too.
>>749044364That's actually new hardware with cheaper components and cheaper fabrication methods, the mini console are just pseudo raspberry pi board or phone boards with emulators, alarmo its a cheap SoC module, not even compated to 20 yo electronics
>>749044364>Alarmo and their NSO retro controllers, too.Not the same components, those are modern parts, the nso controllers don't even support the transfer pack
>>749038226it was always right, you just weren't terminally online 12 years ago like I was
>>749044364Not the same as restarting the production line of NESes, Anon
I miss those Invader Zim loving girls I used to hang out with. Same with girls into anime from back then. Anime fans are different nowadays, I miss that girl who watched Inuyasha and drew Sailor Moon in class.
>>749044557Make the components and fabrication methods cheaper for those other products as well then? I'm sure Nintendo is innovative enough to find a way, they don't have to be 1:1 at all in order to be successful.
>>749044909I miss getting "glomped"
>>749044959i was never glompedfuck you people
>>749044840Only if you think they have to be a carbon copy for some reason.
>>749044983hehe... *glomps you* OwO:3
>>749039879If you mean replicating the actual hardware, that's prohibitively expensive for hobbists, the closest you'll ever get to that are FPGAs, but they are still far from powerful enough for gate level emulation for most consoles, probably capping around NES. As for companies, they just want to make a quick buck with these, so they just use any cheap off-the-shelf ARM with some lazily coded emulator.
>>749044742Before being online I was alone and nobody talked with me at school because I didn't have social media.I hated social media. I thought it turned people into zombies. This was like 2008ish.People were genuinely positive of it too. It made people talk to each other instead of playing games and being in their rooms all day. That's what some people genuinely thought.In the end, it was yet more mass marketing. More data. More grand strategy. Couldn't escape it offline, couldn't escape it online.I'm sick of both. Marketing should be banned. It is dangerous cult behaviour.
>>749044924I'm repeating myself here, the cost of production and design isn't worthy just because a minority want to play games on og hardware. Second hand is cheap enough and just get a quality repro cart, literally 1:1 the experience
>missed out on a N64DDI'm in fucking law school and have completely given up. Even if I get a top 10% income I'll never be able to match the pace at which these games are escaping my grasp.
It's sad realizing just how much of "retro gaming" culture just means "Nintendo, and maybe the PS1 sometimes". Picking up arcade games, consoles like the PC Engine and Genesis and PCs like the PC98 and X68000 helped revitalize my love of video games and so many people just don't care about them really.
why don't the just make some more N3ds', thats just free money no?
>>749045139There's nothing worth playing on that, Anon. To own one is just a flex to other collectors.
>>749045139just edit the html when viewing your bank account and add extra zeroes. ez money.
>>749044924>they don't have to be 1:1Just emulate then? Jesus Christ >>749045113Mister and analogue 3d already do n64 fpga
>>749045182It's an unique piece of hardware in a technical sense which is why I want it. I have the VB, 32X and FDS for instance and spend alot of time and money to keep them running.
>>749045113NES is a weird one because gate-accurate isn't good enough, NMOS effects can apply even when it's a 1:1 gate-level recreation. It rarely ever matters in practice tho.4th gen gate-accurate FPGA cores do exist on consumer products like DE10-Nano. It's a solved issue.Above 5th gen frankly gate-accurate isn't even that important. MiSTer fags are happy even though PSX and similar cores have way inaccurate timing.
>>749045049it's NOT THE SAME
>>749045180They already dismantled the product lines to accomodate new product production, the fabs probably are from a third party
>>749045232Mister's approach is close to an emulator running at hardware level. It doesn't go to gate level. That's why it has similar issues to PC emulators.
>>749045137>the cost of production and design isn't worthy just because a minority want to play games on og hardwareWhy was production and design worthy for a minority who wants to play NSO with controller replicas then?A Game Boy rerelase toy with some games shouldn't be a lot more expensive to develop.
>>749045139Don't do law school. It's not worth it.You might think you could change things or that you might get successful and have a meaningful career.You don't.It's misery.And you being a part of it means you contribute to everyone else's misery.The only correct move is to not play.
>>749045551I entered law school because I like creating misery though.
>>749045232What's preventing Nintendo from making their own FPGAs? They can start with the cheapest one possible.
>>749045504Making one single chip for an input device is way easier than to develop a new chip and ensure compatibility with thousand different games anon.Crying because some underage jobless kids can't afford retro consoles is just hilarious, like screaming to the void.
>>749045661"Making your own FPGAs" is called making an ASIC. If you make your own chips at scale there's no point in using FPGAs.
>>749045551What creates misery is the state. I'm here just to help you navigate the rocks so it's just a tad bit less miserable. And so I can afford video games because costs are through the roof. Not that I can afford to upgrade from my 4090 even if I got employed full time.
>>749045681games were created for underage jobless kids you old fart
>>749045661Third time I'm repeating this, the cost to produce them surpass any potential sales, te market is just so small. The nes mini in comparison probably cost peanuts to produce.
>>749045607To yourself?Are you a masochist?Only masochists and fools become lawyers.
>>749045139>Law school>In 2026Grim, you will not find a job. AI has replaced anyone with under 5 years of experience. Thank God I graduated in 2020.
>>749045798lmao then ask your parents for more allowance sprout unles your parents are poor too kek
>>749045804Bring back the NES mini approach then, why aren't they doing it?
>>749045857Aside from maybe medical school everyone is just fucked. I don't consider myself any more doomed than the next guy.
Glad I never got rid of any of my old consoles or games. Kind of amazed that they all still work besides weird shit like the Gamecube's clock resetting every time it's turned off. Some of the Gameboys are kind of fucked up though with certains buttons being hard to register presses.
>>749045974>medical schoolAnon...
>>749045696This and chinks have been making decent NES on a chips for a while now.
>>749045940Nes mini is emulation and every poorfag here is crying about "muh og hardware". Using an emulator on your phone is literally the same as playing on the nes mini sans you buy a controller.
>>749046001Yeah surprisingly even my old saves are all there last I checked. Besides games like Lufia 2 that even back when they were new would randomly delete saves.
>>749045857I know a guy who graduated last year and he got a job without issues.
>>749046001That's normal, you have to replace the watch battery.
>>749046020You still need nurses and doctors to be physically present. Not nearly as much as lawyers in court or when signing contracts but still. Almost any desk job can be fully automatized and any blue collar job is already automatized, jeetified or being sent to China as we speak.
>>749038817It literally wouldn't. You would just have another locked down console.
>>749046020Anon if he's white he has a niche he can exploit, people can rarely find doctors they can understand in the US these days.
>>749045764>What creates misery is the state. I'm here just to help you navigate the rocksSo, you're part of the problem delusionally thinking he's the solution or trying to cope with the problem?I don't see how committing to the state makes you "not part of the state" and therefore not part of the cartel that jacks up our prices for the sake of floating "to big to fail" corporate entities that aren't even real people. > And so I can afford video games Oh... so the happy seal that dances for a fish gets a fish and then bashed behind the scenes and tormented in order to draw a crowd to feed an industry that needs more and more seals?> Not that I can afford to upgrade from my 4090 even if I got employed full time.Huh?I was like a contractor and I got that much in a week on a little more than the smallest wage. Some earn like 400 and hour where I live. Insane amounts.That's why I left. I felt like a fucking hypocrite. I'd take dying in poverty over that.
>>749045337These cores still have their share of issues. But of course I was talking about actual turbo purists, not the youtuber-told-me-Mister crowd. But yeah, I think NES would be safe at switch level, my point is that doing that accurately is a pain and prohibitively expensive.>>749045232>>749045373Yeah, it's similar to building a car by adding parts like by building the model of a car (steering wheel -> steering logicengine controls -> engine modelbrakes -> brake model) instead of acquiring the actual engineering drawings and reconstructing pistons, valves, springs, gears, bearings, etc. They are making emulators written in VHDL/VERILOG for the most part.>>749045661There's near 0 market for a mass product like this. They can just release some ARM based piece of shit like the mini consoles and make 1000x more money.
>>749046054I've got this old copy of Donkey Kong Land that I dropped in wet grass as a kid that'll do the same thing.
>>749046001gc needs a new batt. gameboys just need a cleaning of the button membranes
>>749045804Lol no, look at all those cheap chinese famiclones. You don't need an FPGA. An officially licensed one with a good and accurate ASIC would not be expensive at all. Nintendo won't do it though, its more profitable to sell roms for an arm and a leg.
>>749046001Meanwhile I see people say that tbeir 3ds carts are dying. I ordered a copy pikmin 3 for wii u a few months ago, got it, and learned my wii u stopped reading disks. It's crazy how once seventh gen started everyonr just decided making shit that dies in a few years was the move.
>>749041031>repro cartsArent those technically illegal? Like you might as well just pirate at that point.
>>749046150Not to pick out one point specifically but I see no negative to a seal dancing for fish before a crowd of people who love seeing a seal dance. Who is exactly being harmed here? Same thing with our legal system and lawyers.
>>749046150>ideological drivelJust pay me for saving you money nigger. I have a backlog to clear.
They can’t release old games and consoles again because the only reason people buy them is because of the rarity. Real people who want to play old games buy the console and hack it or just emulate it on their computer.
>>749046205>look at all those cheap chinese famiclones.Do they even make those anymore? Like the cheap kind that were in N64 controllers. Feels like they went from that to NES Classic clones/handhelds a decade or more ago.
>>749046049Yet they did it and it sold way more than expected. That's all that matters for a corporation like Nintendo. The question is why aren't we seeing their other platforms get similar treatment.
>>749046150Oh and btw, 400 an hour to make more rules to further leverage their own purpose to exist. Fuck Judges, fuck Barristers, fuck politicians. Fuck anyone in that industry. Even the lower admins.This is why medicine is failing nowadays and pharma is making shit that doesn't work and covering it up. They have to follow rules, pay fees. To make new innovations would breach laws at this point. Leave. Or die.
>>749046032Have they? Last time I checked they were still making these chips with fucked up pulse channel/duty cycle bits
>>749046129Gives an opportunity to launch new colors and even invite developers to create brand new software for old platforms.
>>749046226Most if not all repro carts are open source, you could make your own if you wanted but its cheaper to buy one from the chinkshttps://github.com/ChisBread/ChisFlash
>>749046208Disc read errors were around even in the old days. I'm the anon with the GameCube, and a few months after getting it new it had to be sent to NOA to get the disc drive replaced. Worked fine since then besides the clock thing.
>>749046226yes but physical tards are tardedjust get a flashcard at this point
>>749046318You're blaming the dungeon master for the rulebook.
>>749046259>Just pay me for saving you money nigger.Funny I was just looking at the speed trap payment I have to pay.Kys.You feed this shit. Part of the reason why speed traps exist is because you exist. Lawyers force insurance to comply through legal costs. Insurance is what lobbies various committees and even funds think thanks that recommend strategies to things like councils and enforcement. So you existing indirectly causes me to have a speeding fine. They won't admit it causes crashes, but we all know traps do because you're always distracted for them or the speed limit signs. Yet you do nothing about the billboards or other flashing shit that distracts drivers.You see, this is why I can't go back and will not go back. It's ruined my life from day 1. And it's why Nintendo fucking sucks now. (Now that's a good callback, I kinda miss debating...).
>>749042285great job ignoring the "not everybody wants a Switch" argument
>>749046450Weird, I was just looking up DM.Get out of my head too.
Thinking about selling my shit nowIt's clear that basedllenial video game fandom (I am a basedllenial, 30) is peaking and the zoomers will straight up be like "diddy blud aaaaah shit" playing generated AI games and not give a fuck about any of this, should just take my winnings from having good taste when I was 15
>>749045661You don't mass produce FPGAs, you just make ASICS, like >>749045696 said. Chinks have been doing exactly that for decades, nowadays you can get a $7 NES portable that is essentially just a mass produced clone.
>>749038226I miss when retrogaming was watching AVGN and projared review shitty NES and SNES games
>>749046020someone needs to perpetuate the spic-nig cycle
>>749046686They'll just have nostalgia for the Wii etc, which doesn't really have many valuable titles to collect.
>>749046721If it's that cheap Nintendo should absolutely get on that train. Too bad they hate money.
>>749046826NDS has tons, many considered masterpieces at that.
>>749046826heh ok I got this for 10€ from a flea market 15 years agohttps://www.pricecharting.com/game/wii/fragile-dreams-farewell-ruins-of-the-moon
>>749046952>$130There are NES and SNES games that sell for ten times that.
>>749047013They're also 20 years older retard.
>>749046450Yeah but if they knowingly contribute to the rulebook, then they are complicit in it's manifestation and creation. You should know this. Then they are complicit in destroying their own economy and medical system. For money. People used to regularly revolt and burn down the establishment for this exact reason. It stopped functioning. Since I have been alive, I have seen the economy crash time and time again, prices go through the roof, houses become unaffordable, population spiral out of control yet somehow a shortening of our lifespan (though they won't tell you that even post covid), medicine reinvent and recreate polio, a surveillance state be introduced, monopolies established and become cartel like to the point of trying to kill family, etc etc.And you're saying it was better for me to contribute to this?Lunacy.Fucking lunacy.Stop calling people like me lunatics. You are the fucking lunatics. You always have been.You are the dysfunction, not me. I'll bet you complain about people earning mandatory income at this point. How?You are a fucking parasite that gloats around on a high horse for mere image and ego. Everything around you turns to shit because of what you do.Fuck lawyers.
>>749047037They made way less of them. Just because something is old doesn't mean it is valuable. These Wii games will never be valuable, there's too many of them.
>>749045661fpga's are for development, asics are for production. stop watching youtube videos and parroting what you year without even putting in an ounce of you own research to understand what they're talking about. you just make yourself look retarded
>>749047156>you just make yourself look retardedit's fine
>>749046839It's that cheap because it's essentially a NES that was reverse engineered nearly 4 decades ago and polished over the years, with a soldered memory with 400 games, miniature size. Nintendo would only be making money with this (more than just selling Switch Online subscriptions at least) if they released some overpriced collectors edition and sold even more overpriced cartridges separately, even then I doubt it would be actually profitable instead of just some prestige thing. The market for a portable NES is minuscle compared to just selling SWO, even the mini consoles kind of flopped.
>>749047134>old doesn't mean it is valuable>Wii games will never be valuable, there's too many of them.Old means more valuable because there's less of it relative to demand - there is a steady entropy affecting all copies of video games. Late games like Fragile Dreams made by small companies sold fuck all and got small prints, these almost always bang in aftermarket value. There are exceptions to the rule of course, games that sold millions but still demand ridiculous prices due to demand alone. https://www.pricecharting.com/game/playstation-2/silent-hill-3
Isn't it insane that the people that suggest that poor impoverished people are the problem are causing them to be poor and impoverished all the time through their tertiary service industry that is designed to literally do nothing but leverage their tertiary service industry and cult of wigs and coats and gavels?I find it fucking infuriating that people never once question this propaganda in our country.A lot of this is MIC at work I shit you not. If they don't this, it's a national security risk. They won't connect this directly, but this manifests indirectly. You have to be poor because it's a national security risk if you're not.You have to be provoked into doing crime because it's a national security risk if you're not doing it. All because lawyers want their little fucking LARP in court. In a suit.God I fucking hate lawyers. Maybe they all fucking burn.
>>749047369>even the mini consoles kind of floppedyou're out of your mind
>>749047134"Pokemon games will never be valuable, there's too many of them."
>>749047626Nah, they dropped production pretty quickly and didn't even want to give next gen a go. The PlayStation one explicitly flopped.
>>749047626>>749047767And again, profit is relative. Does it make more money than some online subscription? No? Then it's a flop. But for a chink, making $0.50 isn't.
>>749047757HGSS are too new and sold too well to ever be valuab-- ACK!
>>749047757>>749047856They realistically should not be so expensive. It is price gouging.
>>749047767They needed all attention on the Nintendo Switch launch so they killed them. Nobody was talking about Playstation here.
Why are retards so intimidated by Raspberry Pi?
Why does /v/ do this to me?I hate /v/. I hate your bait and yet I am here.
>>749047892Nigger you think there's some international conspiracy to upsell Pokemon games when there are tens of millions of copies floating about? It's pure supply:demand and let me tell you there is demand up the ass.
>>749047961Because it's not real, like pi.It's a conspiracy.Made by lawyers to keep brown people poor.
>>749047958I was talking about all the mini consoles that just don't exist anymore. Sony, Nintendo, Sega, Atari, etc, they all tried it, not enough people interested. And if shit was really profitable, they could just keep manufacturing them, or do timely re-releases. Never happened. The N64 mini? Nope, just SWO it.
>>749038226GWSTG, my beloved
>>749039648To enforce the meme that tendies are subhuman
>>749040896I've lived my teens during the girls' emo era. Thank you God!
>>749047961Why are midwits so enamoured with the idea of emulating on a pi is a better question.If you want the real deal, you get the real hardware with some flashcard. If you want practicality and accuracy, you emulate on a PC. If you are a midwit but also wants to play a bunch of shit on a TV, with some accuracy, you get one of these FPGAs.But you just want a mini console thing, full of issues since it's underpowered as fuck, that you'll touch for 5 minutes once and forget it exists? Get a Pi. At least setting up will be fun.
>>749047986Well they probably have people in the corp that has spare copies. They do that with musical instruments and pedals and shit sometimes. You get a couple employees with a bunch of old garbage. And if they made the impression that demand was high for the sake of artificially keeping prices high, that would not shock me. It takes just a couple employees to do that if they have influence with marketing teams somehow or connections. Oh and if the site they use gets part of the proceeds... the more obvious reason. With stocks you actually have issues with selling things too low because that becomes very illegal if you're trying to deliberately crash the market. There's that whole issue too. I don't think with spare cartridges though.>definitely with housing portfolios though which is part of the problem with mortgage bubbles nowadays, god bless lawyers.I'll shut up now. It's 4am and I've lost control of my life.
>>749048404You sound kind of bitter
>>749048426You're not as crazy as you think. Vinyl releases get scalped by producers sitting on stock over even prior to release, so if a manufacturer had an old stockpile, I guarantee you they used it to manipulate the market at some point
>>749048582I'm not. I had my Pi phase, and I know plenty of people who did as well. It's kinda the funko of vidya.
>>749048143N64 might probably be too demanding, but Game Boy, GBA and DS would still be cool one day.They can launch with collectable shell colors and different game mixes like Tamagotchi to make them worth it even for original owners.
>>749048810That's another one. But I had this problem with pedals with covid.Then I stopped caring about playing music. Strangely.It's amazing how many hobbies I had that I no longer care about post covid. And careers. Forced scarcity beyond a doubt to me that most things in modern societies are forced by mere rackets and cartels. That's it. Supply and demand stopped being meaningful in any way. To see artists scalp tickets through authentication methods is revolting though. That only benefits scalpers, not real fans. Sometimes, indulging in greed is bad for your soul and your lifestyle. It just destroys things you loved.
>>749048881the components you need for a ds probably don't existsure you could use fpgas or downclocked newer chips for the cpu, but who still makes resistive touchscreens at enough scale?
>>749049320>To see artists scalp tickets through authentication methods is revolting though. That only benefits scalpers, not real fansMaybe you should’ve been faster to get those tickets
>>749049365>but who still makes resistive touchscreens at enough scaleThey're still being used in industrial applications.
>>749047369>The market for a portable NES is minuscle compared to just selling SWORight now NSO provides enough value to sell regardless. They should give minis a second try.
>>749049505What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo
>>749048881You can emulate N64 on a SNES classic, and the SoC is underpowered as fuck, a fucking Allwinner R16, costs $1.50 in a bulk (probably was twice that back then lol). Power is not the issue nowadays, some shitty ARM SoC driving a TV box, a smart freezer or anything with a screen really, is powerful enough.But as I said before, it's probably not profitable compared to just selling SWO subscriptions unless they just overprice it and sell as some limited edition or prestige priced thing.
>>749049813>just overprice it and sell as some limited edition or prestige priced thingsure, still cheaper than a Switch 2
>>749049645That's on them. If they haven't done it already, it's probably because they don't think so.>>749049365For a mainstream mini console you don't need any of that, the average person doesn't care about autheticity, just have it look good and feel good. Resistive touchescreens aren't important either, DS works pretty well on capacitive ones, and stylus for capacitive screens exist.>>749049980They wouldn't want you to think that lol, they want you to own both. Preferably the one you can access the eshop and buy games for a high margin.
>>749045857you can't get a job if youre white and male anyways. just beome a neet
>>749050316>they want you to own bothThe thing is, being offered no mini N64 doesn't make me desire a Switch 2 more at all.
>>749043923>>749043991Its also speculators, although they usually try to go with hundreds of thousands of dollars price range. Thankfully it seems the prices are going down and these human cancers are fucking off.
Imagine creating a smash hit like Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver only to never distribute it again in any way, shape or form for more than a decade. Would be funny if books and music worked like this.
