I was lucky enough to get one, and its fantastic. As for Nintendo capitalizing on nostalgia; well, yeah, that's what everyone wants from them. I've been saying for a long time that they should release a little apple tv style box that allows access to their old back catalogue as it would sell way better than any system they release trying to compete with Xbox or Sony. This system isn't quite that, but its at least on that path somewhat (more of a toy in its current format).

As for their supply strategy (or lack thereof), its ridiculous. Doesn't even seem like they have shipped many of these. Everyone knew demand would be sky high after they announced it. Not sure why its better for them to create that demand and not actually sell all those units.
