Serious Sunday: NES Classic Discontinued - Nintendo makes yet another bone-headed business decision
5This week, much like many of the rest of the Video Game themed videobloggers on the internet, Luke latches on to the sudden announcement of the discontinuation of the NES Classic mini console. Less than half a year since its release, Nintendo has officially announced that they are going to cease production of the Classic Edition, despite a distinct lack of meeting consumer demand. Luke speculates about the logic behind this move (and finds very little), and files this one away as yet another "Nintendo doesn't give a shit about you" example.

Serious Sunday is a freeform, sometimes roundtable discussion between the members of Level 0 NPCs, where a specific topic is pre-selected by the group to be explored and discussed at length. Each of the NPCs approach the topic from both the perspective of a seasoned, die-hard gamer, and as creators of games themselves. Part freeform review, part critical analysis, part video game book club, Serious Sunday is where the NPCs take a step back and take a moment to give a serious look at something that is important to the industry, or games in general.
