For those who follow video games, it is no secret that the NES Classic has been a hard item to get a hold of.

Now, Nintendo is killing it off for reasons unknown. Sure there are some possible reasons we think may have led to Nintendo's decision and we discuss them on this episode. But sadly no official word from Nintendo.

On this episode of Tech Informist we pay our respects to this wonderful little nostalgia machine and wonder, what went wrong and will Nintendo continue with the Classics series of hardware?

Did you ever manage to pick up an NES Classic? If not, are you willing to pay extra to ensure you get one? Let us know.

We also discuss LG and Google's buddy system, more weird ads, exciting Tesla news, and much more.
