Nintendo Physically Can't Make Enough Switch Consoles Right Now, and That Might Continue

"The fact is that our production plans are more uncertain than they were at the beginning of previous fiscal years."

I've just about started playing BotW - can see that it's going to occupy me for a long time

I’m on a second play through. First one I did over 200 hours and I still find new things.

200 hours?!

That's like a month of full employment+.

I did a lot of it when I was working in Borneo. Not a lot to do in the middle of nowhere

A guy in my sons dojo is emigrating and clearing his garage. My son joked that if he has any game boys knocking about then I collect them. Guy goes to his garage and brings out these

Oh boy, I had some of those in high school in the 80's. Sweet.

Probably sellable on eBay?

Very much so but I’ll never sell them. They need a lot of cleaning, the odd battery cover and a few repairs on loose plates and broken hinges. My aim is to restore them to their former glory.

I assume that it's a passion. The games weren't all that great after all...

Of course they are nothing like today’s games, but the Game and Watch games are all super simple yet can be quite addictive for a few days at a time.

But I’m just a Nintendo fan for many years now, especially Game Boys. I don’t especially collect, but I’m always on the lookout and have a few knocking about.

When I first started Geocaching/hiking in 2001 I got a backpack, emergency gear and a gameboy advanced for my backpack before I went up table mountain range the first time. Even had tuna as a backup. I was so clueless about the outdoors! Carried kilos of unnecessary stuff.

Haha. You never know when you are going to need an emergency game of Super Mario Brothers

I pictured being stuck and needing entertainment. This is before smart phones.

Omg

I owned both those Donkey Kong 'consoles' back in the day.
