The technology is already there so there is minimal R&D cost, slapping a Nintendo logo on it would be an automatic selling point, Nintendo HAS to recognize the retro gaming niche is growing and old people that grew up playing them are the parents of kids now that are buying them XB1, PS4 and Wii U so by default there is a built in market. I'm not saying spend millions on an add campaign for a separate old school console (unless they just wanted to) but it could be included in a bundle set with Wii U or the next home console OR a club member exclusive. Either way Hyperkin and Analogue are making a fortune off of Nintendo so why shouldn't they profit from their own property?

People buy repros, nintendo could just repro some of the old games, make a system that plays them all and profit $$$$, but lately it seems like nintendo hates money....

They can repro old games and sell them in official nintendo cases that are designed to hold the cartridges and they can sell empty cases and everyone will be happy ;D
