i shouldn't be surprised anymore about this whole situation and what bizarre antics he's going to pull next, but i definitely didn't expect a theme song being shown over a slideshow of the expensive trinkets this guy has enjoyed, paid for my the victims of his scams. It's like he's just laughing while he rubs salt in the wound. And this is the guy who wants people to feel sorry for his predicament.
Pro-tip: Next time you convince hundreds of people to spend thousands of dollars investing in your product, don't immediately blow the money on expensive cars.
This is a butt-hurt consumer who stored their Wii U away for years and probably would never even have booted it up again had they not read about the failures being reported, and now wants to express their frustration through made up claims against the company they feel wronged them. There's no reason Nintendo should've been expected to know the parts they were using could develop a fault if it wasn't used for a decade. How would you even go about testing for that? Nintendo has a proven track record of delivering quality goods, with a few stumbles along the way as any long-lived company will experience from time to time. Notably, they don't try to pretend the issue doesn't exist or deny people repairs when stuff does go wrong, unlike another few giant companies i could name.
There's a reason they abandoned this project though. The 32X wasn't a commercial success (to the point where they abandoned it so fast some Sega employees had never actually heard of it a few years later) and it would've just completed with the Saturn and possibly delayed that system as well. As for backwards compatibility, that wasn't really a thing in the console world at the time. Software emulation wasn't wide spread then so they would've had to spend extra money adding in the older hardware and then expect people to pay more to buy hardware they likely already had connected to their TV's. With today's systems easily emulating old hardware it's a no-brainer to offer access to retro titles, but it was a very different landscape back then.
