The image output by the Wii VC emulators is filtered and scaled anyway, though.

If I remember right, and you set your Wii to 480i mode instead of 480p mode, it will output alot of VC games at 240p. I think you may be thinking of Wii U VC stuff being filtered and scaled.

The sad part about this is I want to give Nintendo my money but they're too stupid to plan ahead. Less then 200k units in the US is just seriously wtf. lol

This is correct.

Not all games run at that resolution natively, though.
Most are 256x224 or 320x224, so they're still getting distorted to some extent.

240p is shorthand for any low res progressive scan, tho. Iirc most platforms display in their true original resolution save TG16?

Like Tain said when you say 240p you're just saying a non-interlaced lower resolution. It's not specifically 240p. Those games are running at their original resolutions.

Then boom everyone wants one and there's no time in the production pipeline (remember they don't own factories and have to get time in one), chips ordered, produced, assembled and shipped from China on a boat. My guess is February or March there's going to be a shit ton of them in stores once production has caught up and finally ships a bunch.

It's not some grand scheme, they're a conservative company that doesn't want a ton of stock sitting on shelves not selling.

Eh, I can buy that big box retailers like Walmart and Target might have taken a passing glance at the product listing and wrote it off as "another one of those dumb plug-and-play things that gather dust" and ordered their numbers accordingly.

But Gamestop, a company predicated around video games, a company that buys hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of licensed backpacks and bottle openers and candy tins with NES controller imagery and 8-bit Marios and Zeldas to hawk in their stores? They saw that Nintendo themselves were releasing an HDMI NES with a pretty killer lineup of the NES' greatest hits, and said to themselves, "How many of these can we move during peak gift-giving season? Like maybe 4 or 5 per store should be good, right?" Nuh-uh. Bullshit.
