Nintendo really dropping the ball at every opportunity. Life long Nintendo fan here and I'll never buy anything from them ever again.

    I love Nintendo. I've bought every single one of their consoles. I am skipping the Switch 2 though.

    I feel like giving someone a Switch 2 is a bit like a white elephant. I can't say that I'm a fan of what's happening lately. It's a shame because the industry is where it is because of them. It's a shame they can't treat their customers a little better.

    Last Nintendo console I’ll ever buy is a used New Nintendo 3DS XL which I’ve modded with Homebrew and all that and loaded with emulators with tons of ROMs. It’s a fantastic piracy machine that runs NES, SNES, SMS, GEN/SMD, N64, PSX, GB, GBC, GBA, DS, DSi, and 3DS games!

    Damn! I guess the word got out and collectors have taken over!

    If you don’t need to play DS/3DS games, the Chinese systems are very popular. These devices are much cheaper than used Nintendo kit. Some of them are much more powerful, with better screens and battery life. There’s a whole scene dedicated to developing custom OSes with really nice emulator frontends for them!

    I recommend TechDweeb on YouTube if you want to learn more about the scene. If I had to start over again today I’d get a Knulli-based device. I may still get one at some point.
