They've done, what, three releases of the thing? The time to do it would have been like, four years ago. Yeah, I'm not sure why they haven't done a cheaper version of the NT Mini yet, surely that'd print money for them. I guess they figure the people who would be in the market for an NT Mini probably have enough money burning a hole in their pocket that they can afford all the extra luxuries anyway? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeldaFreak | 3,600 Events Team · Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I'm assuming with how people are acting, these things go pretty darn quick, huh? Haha. Are we talking minutes or seconds? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind they started as a maker of consolized Neo Geo MVS systems, with fancy wood cases and whatnot that cost bank. So it was natural to do a fancy case for the original Nt and Nt Mini. I think by the time it dawned on them to do a plastic case, the AVS was out already, and putting out a competing plastic NES clone at that price would have hurt both companies (the market for these is tiny.) Since Bunnyboy wasn't going to do an SNES or any other console, they switched to plastic for that untapped market. My take, anyway.

I still think they should probably do it though, even if the time for that has passed by now, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't the first time I've been in this situation before, waiting for a product that goes out of stock real quick, so I just wanted to get a lay of the land to see how bad this one is.

I honestly think most people (myself included) would prefer them to just use plastic in exchange for the lower price. I mean, I don't hear anyone ever complaining about the plastic cases on their other products. The aluminum case is important. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeldaFreak | 3,600 Events Team · Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Didn't realize a queue system was a part of this whole process, but I'm glad it is. It's stressful, but it's good that they have systems in place to circumvent bots and whatnot, very glad to see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
