The Off brand Idubbbz <| sep |> Captain meet da freak a da weeka <| sep |> I was definitely just joking <| sep |> Not to immediately take the defensive here but I don ' t really fell like less sophistication in game design directly constitutes that the old game an shit by today ' s standard . Fundamentally , most of the games that are on the NES classic share the same principles of quality standards that we hold games to nowadays I . e . Tight controls , interesting visuals , and enjoyable gameplay . The NES classic was released as a celebration of all of the good times the NES had to offer and has a very reasonable RRP , gouging on independent auction sites always happens and it isn ' t unlikely that there will be shortages in new gaming systems ask any parent who has to get their hands on a relatively recent console in time for the holidays . Part of the shortages Nintendo ' s part are due to the fact that they are a Japanese company and their demographics vary greatly from nation to nation . they have no idea how popular something will be in the states , many things that sell tremendously in the Nippon don ' t even see a restock here because no one is interested . It makes more sense to introduce a product in limited quantities to testgenerate interest than to mass produce something that can potentially be a massive failure .
