RE: Was the NES Classic Mini Simply Marketing for the Nintendo Switch?
Yeah, that is weird considering their Satella-View service in Japan - though I figure that was mostly for the online banking and gambling services they offered adults that owned the Famicom (it helped that in Japan there was a disk drive and keyboard available).
You would think Nintendo would have been an early purveyor of online gaming. Course, they probably were gun shy based on the lack of interest from North American gamers with peripherals that were not included in the original console purchase (Super Scope coming to mind).
well to be honest I don't know that much about those time and about the NA gaming culture of those times specially. Too young for that and come from a very differnt part of the world.
I only know of it thanks to interviews with various people that worked at Nintendo over the years, primarily during the 80's.
I love reading about how things were at these seemingly gargantuan companies and how they almost missed awesome opportunities.
hey, it's still the same guy, just from my personal account.
Since you say you love reading about this kind of stuff, perhaps you will like an article I recently wrote:
