Neither Santa Claus, nor the Three Wise Men. No matter how hard you try, this year is not going to be the year of nintendo 64mini. After seeing how the last two Christmases were led by the Nintendo mini and the Super Nintendo mini, this year it seems that Nintendo has no plans to repeat history. This was stated by Reggie Fils-Aimé in a interview by Kotaku. The CEO of Nintendo America has stated that they would "never rule anything out", but for now "they are not in our planning horizon", in relation to an alleged N64 mini.
