If you had a smidgen more money to spend, Nintendo had you covered.

I always assumed Nintendo stuff is cheaper since it looks like indie games and not anywhere close to the games you could play on consoles. Huh, TIL.

There is no world where Nintendo had you covered

Their hardware and systems, particularly any online connectivity is 20hrs behind. They’ve also be the shittiest of them all with price hikes

Nintendo wasn’t always like that. Every Nintendo console before the GameCube was the most powerful console of its generation. The GameCube was second most powerful behind Xbox but ahead of PS2. But like the N64, Nintendo made the GameCube with a fatal flaw that caused a severe limitation that was completely unnecessary: the game sotrage media.

For the N64, it was the choice to not use disks and thus were limited to only 64MB at most of game filesize, but the GameCube had disks. Except they were those stupid tiny ones that only held like 1.5GB instead of a normal sized disks at the time which held up to 8GB.

  I’m fine with “weak, cheap consoles” if the games are good, as that’s all that really matters. The problem is, Nintendo’s game output has been shit lately.
