    Has been the case for a long time 😂

    Honestly I just don’t want to spend $400 or whatever on such a single-purpose device.

    I realize people use “desktop” OS’s to do all sorts of nefarious things but if your solution is to require that I buy incredibly-narrowly usable device to run the games I want to play, I’m just going to play them nefariously and not feel bad about it 🤷 and everytime you sue someone who makes that possible it just reinforces my decision.

      Tbh, i just stopped playing Nintendo games about 10 years ago.

      Most of them just suck in many regards, the hardware you need is shit, and they are super expensive for nothing. Shure there are some gems apparently, but its just not worth it.

        The hardware and corporate practises i would agree, (especially the hardware - extra shitty considering its aimed at families and kids and it wears out so fast)

        But I have to disagree about the games. Their flagship games are consistently very good (so long as you’re a fan of the genres).
