Checkpoint Intimates: The Mini Conversation

Video Games

Checkpoint Intimates is a new weekly podcast where two members of the team go one-on-one on a topic that they both feel strongly about, talking in a more deeper and, yes, intimate context.

On this episode, Elliot and Ronnie get intimate as they discuss the recent news surrounding Nintendo and their mini consoles. The NES Classic Mini was incredibly hard to find in stores, and has now been discontinued. Now, rumours are circling about the possibility of the SNES Classic Mini. Is this all strategy from Nintendo with these retro console re-releases? Are they intentionally making them hard to find, supply and demand?

If the SNES Classic Mini is on the cards, what games should be on it and what do they hope for? What games would you want to see on the SNES Classic Mini?
