The Jimquisition: Nintendo - A Shit Distributor And Fuckheaded Toymaker
Nintendo's manufactured scarcity is a commonly known deal, and it's just getting beyond ludicrous.
The NES Classic is the latest farce, shipping to stores in pitiful numbers despite well-known demand.
Basically, Nintendo's a fucked up toymaker thinking everything it makes is a goddamn Hatchimal, whatever the hell THAT is!

This is another case of American branches of Japanese companies shitting the bed, by the way - the Famicom Mini has no stocking issues whatsoever, and Amiibo were the same way, with importing JP Amiibo being significantly cheaper than buying them in your own region.
Great episode really gave me a laugh this Monday morning. I saw a guy at Target trying to get one for his son and sure enough just like you said the Target employee said sorry we sold out this morning because we only received 2. I wonder how much they might do this at the beginning of the Nintendo Switch.
Just wanted to put this out there, I've just woken up, still sipping my coffee in my office working on a client's computer while listening to last week's Podquisition to catch up. THE MOMENT this got posted and arrived in my inbox, you were talking about "one lawsuit at a time" and how you don't want to jump the gun and talk shit about Nintendo, at that same moment I began reading the headline of this post and almost spat my coffee all over my laptop. So, good Monday Jim! Hope you have a good week.
Talk about timing, I'd paused it to write that, and the moment I hit play you started talking about them being fuckheads and how your next Jimquisition is gonna be all about that, so there we go!
