A made-to-order N64 Classic is my dream console

I know the idea is looney. Never in a million years would Nintendo allow its fervent fanbase to have a say in what the company does. But I can’t help get swept up by the mere thought of buying a made-to-order N64 Classic. Here’s what I think Nintendo should do (but know will never happen).

When the inevitable release of the N64 Classic hits next year, in addition to offering a stock option with a selection of 25 or so games, Nintendo should offer a special service in which buyers can pay a little more to the number of games that come preloaded on the console. In other words, it would be like ordering a sandwich, or fulfilling the dream of paying for only the TV channels you want.

The consumer—you and me—can pick which meats, veggies, condiments, and other toppings get added. It’s made the way you want it.

Say, for example, Nintendo offers 100 possible titles to choose from. Buyers can purchase every game for the maximum price—that’s with color customization, four controllers, and all 100 games, including titles like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Super Mario 64, and so forth.

That bundle would be for the most diehard Nintendo fans.

Say you didn’t want 100 games. Well, you could choose a minimum of 25 from the 100 possible, making it super easy to tailor the exact experience you want. You can choose 25 or 75, it doesn’t matter. It would boost the nostalgia factor by a factor of ten because users would be able to pick and choose the titles they grew up playing.

As we’ve seen from the NES Classic and SNES Classic, the titles on offer have been very limited, with little to no input from consumers. Out of the dozens of amazing games released for the SNES, only 21 are available on the SNES Classic. That’s absurd.
