No matter how advanced technology Nintendo Switch offers, Nintendo NES Classic will remain irreplaceable on many fronts.
Retro Gaming
The advanced cinematics and animations look stunning and more engaging, but the appeal of classic retro gaming is matchless. By discontinuing NES Classic, Nintendo is somehow killing retro gaming
which will never be replaced by the next generation consoles.
However Nintendo Switch houses many classic games as well, but the price tag makes a whole lot of difference. If people don’t get a cheap Nintendo Switch alternative, the retro gaming will go out of reach for many.
Broader Audience
It is no surprise that NES games have connected a large number of gamers. The entire generation of Nintendo games was being offered preloaded in the 30 games with NES Classic. No matter how good Nintendo is doing with Switch sales, the company cannot convince the entire generation to go for Switch or Wii U.
Understanding & Trust
Nintendo is trying hard to make sure its new console remain flawless. The company has even started a campaign to make Nintendo Switch safe and hacking-proof. But at this point of time when the NES Classic is discontinued, Nintendo is playing with the trust of its customers. What people are feeling now is that Nintendo is not interested in listening to what they want. The affection for the old games is being neglected.
