u/LORD_STABULON · 50 pointsr/gaming

At first I was surprised as well, but the more I think about it, it makes sense.

The NES Classic is selling like hotcakes because of hype. When the hype dies, the sales fall off a cliff. I really don't know anything at all about their supply chain, but it seems that Nintendo has been increasingly reliant on "off-the-shelf" hardware ever since the Wii. For example, there was a little "ATI" logo stamped on the Wii because Nintendo used a regular graphics card for that console, and so ATI "owned" part of that device.

So I'm guessing they don't have a ton of vertical integration for hardware manufacturing. Compare that to Apple, which has been aggressively working to own as much of their hardware manufacturing process as possible, even going as far as to manufacture their own CPUs (iPhones have an "A9" chip or whatever, while other smartphones just buy hardware from companies like Samsung, AMD, nVidia, Qualcomm, etc).

The downside of 100% vertical integration is that if Nintendo wanted to make a new Zelda, they would have to control, manage, and pay for everything that Zelda runs on-- the silicon, the enclosure, the LCD screens, the joysticks, even the plastic game cases and printing of brochures. It's insane when you think about it. The upshot is that when you have complete control over everything, you can "stop the presses" at a moment's notice.

So Nintendo doesn't do vertical integration. Again, I have no insider info, but it's become increasingly clear simply by Googling around. For example here's a Polygon article that shows the NES classic is just a bunch of off-the-shelf hardware crammed into an offically trademarked plastic box. And this makes perfect sense. It's also notable that the Nintendo Switch is also completely outsourced, from the nVidia graphics to the USB-C port, microSD slot, Bluetooth, HDMI, etc.

It makes sense for them too-- they're a software company that happens to be in the advantageous position of being able to make such incredibly high quality software that people are willing to buy custom hardware just to play it. Imagine if EA Games tried to sell a console, and it was the only way to play games featuring their intellectual property. Holy shit, that would be their single biggest blunder.

But I digress: The NES Classic is "Nintendo" only in terms of IP. They're just buying electronics from various hardware manufacturers, gluing them together, installing an emulator, and slapping their logo on it. It's a fun product, but we all know it isn't going to last. And here's the thing: Nintendo surely gets a better deal on all this third-party hardware than you or I would, but only because they're placing massive bulk orders.

And that's the kicker, in my opinion. They might have sold a ton of NES Classic consoles, but the holiday season is over and the hype is sure to die soon. Say they placed an initial order for 500 million "Mali400MP2" GPUs to build all these cute little consoles, and they got a quote from the manufacturer saying it would cost 50 cents per unit. Good news: They recovered that 250 million cost by completely selling out! But they know the hype is going to die, and buying another 500 million seems like it might be overkill. Maybe they order 250 million. Except now that the order is smaller, the cost per unit has jumped up to 75 cents per unit (I am completely making these numbers up).

So it's a gamble that gets increasingly risky the longer you play. They already made a ton of money from the NES Classic, but as the hype dies, they'll have to make smaller orders and the cost per unit is going to increase. My guess is that they're still licking their wounds from what happened with the Wii. Those things sold shockingly well, until they woke up one morning and suddenly nobody wanted a Wii anymore. I bet that there was a very specific "oh shit" day at Nintendo HQ when they saw that Wii sales had plummeted while they had millions of optimistically-built units sitting in their warehouses.

To me, cancelling the NES Classic is a good example of "quit while you're ahead". I can't imagine how much the Wii is still burned into the memory of every executive at Nintendo. They built something so popular that it became a global social phenomenon, and then suddenly it just died, and they had their worst fiscal year in ages. Because they'd bought and assembled a bunch of Wiis that would never be sold.

I'll admit that this is way too long of a response to "WHY!?!?" but I do find it interesting. I'm only just starting to understand terms like "vertical integration" myself, but it does help to clarify why certain things are the way they are. Comparing Nintendo to Apple is very illuminating. Both companies have insane brand recognition, but they do business very differently. Ever since Steve Jobs died and Tim Cook became the CEO, people have been predicting the death of Apple. Instead, their stock price has more than doubled since the day he died. Jobs was the charismatic leader, but Cook is the king of the supply chain. He's pushed for vertical integration, and it's been working beautifully. Apple makes a crap product like the Watch? They just scale back production.

Because of vertical integration, Apple can fine-tune their manufacturing to such a precise degree that they'll keep selling Apple Watches right up until the last profitable watch is sold, even though it's clearly a failing product. On the other hand, Nintendo sells products that they don't build, so they have nowhere near the degree of granularity when it comes to predicting how their things will sell tomorrow. Neither company can predict the future, but Apple can change everything in a relative instant, while Nintendo has to make an educated guess about how the world is going to look 6 months down the line.

Also, I'm guessing the cancellation of the NES classic is going to conveniently correspond to a sudden influx of Classic NES games being sold for the Switch on the Nintendo eShop, along with various limited-edition consoles and themed peripherals. That being said, I fucking love Nintendo and hope I can die without seeing them go out of business. People who claim that the Switch is currently a $350 Zelda game are basically right, and I don't give a flying fuck. 100% worth it.

On a final note, if you wanted an NES Classic and couldn't get one or don't want to get price-gouged from a hoarder-reseller, I'd do this:

  1. Buy a Raspberry Pi 3
  2. Put it in an NES Case
  3. You could buy 2 USB NES Controllers for the price of a fancy sandwich, but why not class it up a bit and get some Bluetooth SNES Controllers? Also, if you have unused PS3 controllers laying around and don't mind the lack of authenticity, skip this step.
  4. Buy a microSD card (32 gb is massive overkill for NES ROMs, but if you bought nicer controllers then you'll probably find yourself wanting to try out some SNES/N64/Playstation games)
  5. Download lakka.tv and follow the very simple installation instructions.
  6. Get NES ROMs from the internet, they're almost easier to find than porn.

    Total cost (including the NES controllers and the microSD card) rounds up to $85. And a cheaper Pi will play NES games just fine, nor do you HAVE to buy the $20 NES-themed plastic case I just randomly found on Amazon. Plus you're not limited to the games that were included on the NES Classic, and once you get bored with playing 30 year-old games there are plenty of other things to do with a Pi... Like write unnecessarily long Reddit posts, which I've just finished doing!

This is the one I'm using for mine, its $10 and even though I dont really use the Pi anymore (the novelty runs off after you play like 30 classic games) and it looks really cute on my desk. Theres also a SNES one on amazon thats good too.

u/GsmHero6x · 12 pointsr/raspberry_pi

If you could mass produce you'd make a nice profit. Currently this is the only console case that I found on Amazon.

interesting idea, taking someones 3d model, printing it, and installing a free OS on it and charging so much for it.
i think people tend to just go for something like this
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M4OOY4U


Edit: sorry man rage, just noticed you post these all the time and get comments like this all the time. I notice you just copied the case, not customised the original. And you are actually charging for the time it takes you to 3D print and put it all together.

Either way, if people are buying them, great but just seems like there are other better solutions out there

u/red_rock · 10 pointsr/RetroPie

I have answers

  • You do, you can find finished models here. I actually have a 3D printer. But I found it hard to find the correct colored filaments, that´s why I bought the case instead.
  • Controllers can be found here. Just google "8Bitdo NES30 PRO" to find a local reseller.
  • I am using a Raspberry PI 3, with a 128gb SD card. Also added heatsinks on it.
  • To create one, I just downloaded this image (was by far the thing that took the longest, the actual download). I used this to copy the image over to the card (takes about an hour). Applied heat sinks on the Pi3 then screwed the Pi in to the case. I updated the firmware on the controller, then connected everything to my TV plus a keyboard. Once booted I expanded the file system, added the controller and wifi. Then I updated RetroPie. Once all of that was done I spend some time playing around with it, making changes as I saw fit. I also added new roms to it via my computer by just accessing it via the network (\\retropie). Once I was happy with everything I used the same tool to write to the SD card to create an Image from it, and backed that up to my computer. Then it just was a matter of putting the other ones together and then I just installed my image. Only thing I need to do is to expand the file system and adding the controllers. So 30 minutes building and configuring a Pie and 1h to write the image.

Do not feel intimidated. This isn't difficult. It'll take some time and patience, but it's very rewarding getting your system up and running.

> I was thinking of getting an all in one kit like this oneIs there any downside to this?

Do not buy that over-priced garbage. The biggest gripe to the kit is the unknown PSU, and small/generic memory card.

Normally they're like the #1 sold case for pi on Amazon but looks like they are currently unavailable. You can still buy them on Old Skool Tools' site though. Of course you still need to put a Pi inside.

$200+ is a whole lot to pay for nostalgia, unless you are playing the collectibles market... If you are just looking to game and have some fun, dude just get a set of usb SNES pads (or whatever) and a raspberry pi 3 / zero W and dump retropi rom on a card.

u/phertiker · 3 pointsr/RetroPie

Here's one that looks like a mini-NES. It's good quality, though kind of pricey at $20-ish.
The only thing I don't like are the HDMI/power ports are on the side, USB/Ethernet under the NES cart flap, and no access to GPIO without modification. Those are minor things, though, and the "That's dope" factor is high.
I paired it with this bluetooth gamepad which is surprisingly good.

u/ForgottenJoke · 3 pointsr/RetroPie

Here is a list of the parts I used, from Amazon, to make an NES Mini.

You would also need an HDMI cable if you don't have one already. Some people use wireless Bluetooth controllers, (the PI has Bluetooth and WiFi built in), but I don't know how well they work, latency wise.


u/SlickWiggler · 3 pointsr/nintendo

Raspberry Pi is super simple to set up, plus you can get a nifty case to make it look like an NES or a SNES, and there are even USB Adapters that let you use your original controllers (or pick some up on ebay). 10/10 would absolutely recommend as long as Nintendo refuses to make enough stock to meet demand.

You're not the only one. I've bought most of these multiple times over the last 25 years, the only real appeal is the finished version of Starfox 2.

Me, I'm building a Raspberry emu system and sticking it in one of these.

u/Probably_Important · 3 pointsr/gadgets

Yeah, I just built two of these for my dad and his brother (twins) for Father's Day. Used this case. It's overpriced and the production quality is not great, so I would much prefer Nintendo's box, but not at 80+ a pop or whatever scalpers are charging. They didn't mind anyway.

u/rhinofinger · 3 pointsr/raspberry_pi

Look at /r/retropie - it's more focused on these projects.

At minimum, you'll want: a [Raspberry Pi 3 ($35)](
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CD5VC92/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Sb.pzbAZKNASG), a case ($7-$20), a power supply ($10), an HDMI cable ($7), one or two controllers ($15-$30 each), and a micro SD card ($22 for a Class 10 64 GB). There are a lot of threads about which controllers are best - I'm a fan of the wireless 8bitdo SNES30 / SFC30 (usually cheaper on eBay).

You don't need any programming experience to set it up, though you may need to edit some configuration files to set certain things up properly. I've built 2 of these to date - they play anything up to and including PlayStation 1 consistently well. N64 is very hit and miss, though Mario Kart 64 and Kirby 64 work well.

You can make lots of cool stuff if you've got the skill/time, but if you just want something simple, the Old Skool Tools NES case rocks. Doesn't come as a kit that I know of, but just grab a Pi, power supply and microSD card and you're set. It's super easy to put together. And if you want an extra little DIY project, you can add a power indicator light or maybe a functioning ON/OFF button. That's what I did with mine, and I love how it turned out.

It sounds like he'll have no problem grasping any of the steps needed to get it working, and this sort of thing is right up his alley. As far as emulating, yes that is one of the more common uses for it too, though it can't emulate more modern high end systems like PS3/4, Xbox, etc. It can really only handle systems from the 90s like the NES, SNES, I think maybe the PS1 and N64 but don't assume I'm right on that one. The procedure for those is identical. Downloading the operating system from the internet, in this case find a site that has say, a Raspberry Pi NES operating system file, flash it to a microSD card using that program I recommended, put the microSD in the Pi and turn it on. There are also a lot of cool little Pi cases that are made to look like old school console boxes. like this NES case

u/CrapInc · 2 pointsr/RetroPie

raspberry pi 3: $33.53


power supply: $7.99



case: $19.99



32GB SD Card w/ adapter: $12.31



2pk SNES USB iNNEXT Controllers: $16.99


So that's $90.81 before tax and shipping. Plus no choice in custom color of top and bottom of case, having to put it together yourself, download an image and configure it. So for a non-technical person it might be worth it since they'd be paying an extra $15 - $20 in this case for the labor/time involved.

You'll need a micro SD card for the RetroPi and a flashdrive to install games. I used this guide to set it up. (https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/First-Installation)

Using this power button kit, installed the button on the back of the case using a drill to punch the hole and a Dremel to widen it, the space was too tight for me to turn the nut so I held the nut in place and turned the button on the outside.

Have one myself and it looks (and works) great. Front panel flips up and that's where you plug in the controllers (USB).

Can switch from SNES to nes to n64 to genesis etc without dropping the controller.

And it works with PS3 and I believe PS4 controllers via Bluetooth as well as retro controllers.
