      I don’t think I will buy another Nintendo console ever (unless they turn around) and will only buy 2nd hand games so Nintendo doesn’t get any money.

      The sad thing is that Nintendo does make very good games and some of the only great party games left with a low skill entry level

        The only way there is emulation. Sure, you won’t get to use the cool features of their hardware, and you might get to play a buggy game a year after release, but you are not supporting a shifty company - and that counts.

          What “cool features” does Nintendo do anymore? The big draw of the switch was that it’s portable, and there’s dozens of handheld PC’s to compete there. Then there’s the motion control, which wasn’t great in the long run and can also be done by emulators with a variety of controllers supporting it

            Especially detachable controllers and their games supporting them. You can have two per player in a 4 player game, or 8 where each holds one. I quite liked the feature and found it novel. I am not sure if you can do the same using emulators - or at least do it as seamlessly.

        I’ll support Nintendo games. Nintendo is one of the big studios that actually publish finished games, and doesn’t fill them with micro transactions.

        I wish their lawyers where less aggressive, but the games are solid.

          This one‘s been spreading quite rapidly in the past few years. I wonder what happened.

              At first I get annoyed at people confusing the two, but I remember there’s a lot of non native English speakers. And it’s words like this that make it such a hard language to figure out.

              As an American you’re right. Hell, a lot of Americans can’t even speak. I now a lot of engineers that pronounce “height” as “heighth”

        Even if they win the lawsuit the message has been sent. Any double A or triple A company can make a descent quality ripoff and get lots of money. Bonus points if they’re somewhere safe from Big N’s lawyers
