If only there were some kind of model of 3DS with removable coverplates so Reggie would only have to sell two skus.

They're most likely in the display cases because they are fairly pricey and thus easily stolen. especially since you only really need the controllers and the system itself and they're both small enough to easily be concealed. if you can't nab the HDMI cord and USB cable you can just bring your own.

Well, yeah, it’s obvious why the Classic Edition consoles are in the display case. The point is that they’re in the display case. Stores like Target have to make room for the Classic Edition consoles, meaning that much less space for Switch. I suppose retailers could wrap those security devices around them. Either way, hardware takes up shelf space and Nintendo has to balance how best to use it.

Speaking of NES Classic systems in a display case... tonight, for the first time ever, I saw NES Classic systems in stock in a local store. It seems like this is a common occurrence for everyone else, but I was impressed. Always takes me aback how tiny those little boxes are, especially when I consider how much joy (for me) is packed inside.
Hopefully people with Playstation nostalgia get just as excited about their upcoming classic systems (even if I have some minor complaints about how that system is being managed).

Game lineup is pretty disappointing. I get why they chose what they did, but given that there is no dual shock support, no image enhancement, and new proprietary controller ports, I think I'm going to pass.

Come on, no load times, no bad disc readers. It's not too bad a deal. At only $5 a game it's the equivy of 1/12th the price of a modern PlayStation game.
