  My MSPaint skills aren’t what they used to be, but imagine a console version of this

  Nintendo being the best option for a consumer (from a legal perspective) was not on my bingo card

    Why bother with consoles anymore? PCs are so much better

      Sadly, I can’t qualify for the 40 year loan I would need to buy a PC.

      Because a rising tide raises all ships, and a vanishing one shipwrecks them.

      I don’t have a S2, Series, or PS5. I game on PC, that doesn’t mean that what’s happening in the console space is right.

      That being said, I haven’t bought a physical PC game in ages, so I’m boned either way

  Nintendo shut down the e-shop for the 3DS. All the digital games you owned? Gone.

  They’re part of the problem.

    The 3DS is very easy to jailbreak. Highly recommend it. Just in case anyone needs to hear this.

    Incorrect, the 3DS eshop is still online. Digital games can still be re-downloaded, you just can’t buy new ones. The same is true for Wii, DSi, and Wii U.

    The digital games you own are still playable.

  Why not? They kicked everyone’s arse with the Switch 1.

  They need to up their exclusive game…game. Other than DK Banaza, their output has been disappointing. I only got a Switch 2 now because it’s only going to get more expensive and I’m hoping for quality exclusives in the next 6 or so years that they’ll be supporting it.

    You do realize the Switch 2 already has more exclusives than the PS5, right?

    • samus12345@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Yes, but the quality of those exclusives is lacking compared to their previous consoles. It’s only been a year, so I’m going to be optimistic that their output will improve.

      Ports of games to Nintendo consoles are always the worst way to play them due to the weaker hardware, so exclusives matter a lot more on them. PS5 is good for more than just exclusives.
