NES classic

If (when) they bring it back, it'll be with a different mix of games.

That fits perfectly. 

Nobody will buy another one if it's exactly the same, so they'll change up the game mix a bit and/or model it after a 101.

I'd actually be quite surprised if they put new games on it or change it in any way. I still know plenty of people who didn't get the first one and still want it. If they change it up, it'll sorta defeat the purpose of rereleasing it, right?

The purpose of re-releasing it is to sell more of 'em and make more money.

Maybe they'll start giving out free Virtual Console codes to everyone who sends them a photo holding their NES/SNES/etc carts.

Glad Nintendo like money. I can't say for sure if they like their fans. Anyone upset that their limited rare NES classic is less rare forget them. I hope them make more than 10.

Let's see what this announcement does to ebay prices in the next few months:

It's not going to do anything until the units are actually available. Also, there's going to be a way to distinguish between the first model and the new one. I'm sure people won't care about that though, people don't care able variants.

I hope they make 25 million, indistinguishable from the first run, and price them at $24.99 just to bury the scalpers.

But this is Nintendo, so it'll be released in limited supplies during the 2018 holiday season while they keep trying to figure out how to sell an N64 Classic.

I don't see them making a N64 classic. The N64 is too complicated for them to make it for under $100. Also, I don't think the emulation is good enough.

I want to see a Game Boy Classic...with a color screen.

They did it almost 15 years ago

And it was AWESOME!

I will be surprised if Nintendo doesn't both raise the price on the the thing and also get rid of a bunch of the third party games.

I expect the new run to accidentally give scalpers a reason to jack up the prices on the originals even more.  After all, who wants to play a NES Classic that has NES Play Action Football instead of Tecmo Bowl?

This is interesting news, would be interesting to see the behind the scenes developments.
I'm too mostly concerned about the third party titles, besides the licensing it can't be more than $10-$15 dollars to put these things together. Knowing Nintendo they have propably made some careful calculations considering virtual console potential lost sales and the like, getting new people back in the loop with Nintendo etc.
