Probably to create buzz going into the holidays. Just going to piss people off though and force them to buy second hand at double the price.
Gotta have something to build the hype and buzz.
Was going to sell well no matter what, but when it's limited, in high demand and selling for 3x+ on Ebay, more people are going to want to get one.

Because Nintendo is fucking stupid. They have always done this with creating a false demand instead of actually meeting it. Makes no sense

it's mostly just nostalgia. If you have a Wii/WiiU/maybe 3DS? you effectively have one of these through VC games. I think it has a scanline and curve distortion filter that's unique to it. The presentation of it is amazing, no doubt about that, but it's a bit pricey for me right now for what it is.

Tony Gallagher: "I suspect ownership had a small influence in drafting Virtanen. Before he departed, Gillis told me that they liked (Dylan) Larkin."
Further proof of how dysfunctional the Canucks organization is, and how much of a curse the Aqullini's are. Not the act of missing out on Larkin, considering how low he went, it's a crap shoot whether or not you get the skill set he has. It's the Aquillini's meddling in the affairs of hockey ops.

LOL theres this huge lineup at EB and they didnt tell people there were none,wtf. Dude ahead of me waited an hour and they didnt tell anyone they handed out tickets at the start and anyone without a ticket wouldnt get one.
Ouch.
Ouch.
Where'd he say that? That seems too low, but maybe a discount if he feels he can win here soon? Having Weber on the team should help seeing how close they are.
I'm not sure why you think Griffith is a scrub? What has he done to demonstrate that?
Either way, the thought process behind this decision is fucking brutal.
The point is, neither Smith nor Griffith is in any kind of long term plan for the Leafs going forward. They're both stop-gaps on forward lines that will eventually be filled by guys like Leipsic, Kapanen, Timashov and the boatload of other guys we already have on the Marlies or recently drafted. Hell with a few trades later this year we'll probably see a few Marlies up with the team.
There is very little evidence to suggest someone like Leipsic will be better than Griffith
however, the actual point is that Ben Smith is seriously damaging the Leafs roster as it currently stands. like i said, he's one of the worst players in the league. you can't keep icing a player like that.
Bickell Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis
Wow, just wow. His play seemed to have dropped off in the last few years (not to say that we know for sure early MS was a contributing factor for that) but this is rough.

My dad has MS, he was diagnosed when I was 13. I've never seen something in my day to day life that can completely change a person like MS can. Hope Bickell's case isn't severe and never becomes severe.

What an idiot. That wouldn't increase shots because they'd actually have a higher chance of missing the net with no follow up. Offensive zone possession leads to multiple scoring chances. A shot from their zone would not.
I am not a fan of corsi or Fenwick myself, but even applying a minor amount of logic would help here.

Is anyone really surprised by this? They've always been like that when it comes to hot items, be it Amiibo, limited editions, or even the systems themselves.

I'm taking a brief pause from my internet sabbatical to a) make sure that my Scott Stapp avatar is seen. I'm a man of my word. And b) to say Go Leafs!
Always.

Why are you on an internet sabbatical? Is that a thing between old people like you and SCHUEY?
Nice of them to honor New York Rangers Hall of Famer Eric Lindros.
Leaf Legend Eric Londros as well
