    Regardless of price, Nintendo is a shit legacy company that is riding on the coattails of the 90’s.

    They never have games on steep discounts like their competitors, ensure emulations and artistic expressions are shut down immediately, and barely change shit to their flagship games such as Pokemon. They’re creatively stale and are blessed to have a rabid fan base who can’t see through it.

    I got a switch since my kid brought grades home, but that’s the last piece of electronic device I’ll ever buy from Nintendo. This is someone who has played back in its heyday the N64.

    People who ‘boycott’ and go back to buying what they boycotted because said company pushed out a halfass apology tweet deserve to lose their money.

    Edit: lol at the Nintendo fan boys downvoting

      You seem to be missing the point, the Nintendo Switch is handily the most popular game console in US gaming history. It has officially sold more units than the PS2.

      I’m sorry that you don’t appreciate the switch, it’s an amazing general purpose gaming console.

        Everything I can find still puts the switch behind not only ps2 but also the DS. Any chance you got a link?

        It’s all right I wouldn’t say it’s groundbreaking. There are many portable computers including the steam deck that are far superior in terms of capability and openness.

          Doesn’t think switch is groundbreaking. Proceeds to list handheld that wouldn’t exist without the Switch breaking that ground. lol

            You’re going to need some evidence that that’s the case because my understanding is that Valve had been working on the steam deck for a while.

            Hell the steam deck isn’t even the first handheld gaming computer, and the switch came out after the first handhelds, so even if Valve were influenced by the existence of the switch (which they weren’t), we would have still got the steam deck via other mechanisms.
