I love being angry about meaningless topics. This is less about me wanting better baby games, and more of me hating corporations and watching them make billi...
I never bought a Switch. Thought about it, but never got around to it. I guess I’m just not the target audience.
Though now in thinking about it, I bet I can pick up a good condition used Switch on the cheap once this comes out. Maybe I’ll get the first gen Switch after all!
And that’s the only reason I’m even vaguely considering picking up a Switch 2 around launch.
That said, even with a gen 1 Switch, booting into the CFW is just enough of a pain that I don’t do it often. Gotta grab the shim for the rail, plug it into something that can deliver the payload… ugh.
I miss the days of Wii and PSP homebrew. No online shit to get banned from, no special booting techniques. 3DS cfw came pretty close in terms of ease of use.
That said, being able to pirate games directly from the 3DS and Switch was a big step up from having to transfer files over to the memory card (PSP) or effectively needing a dedicated external HDD/partition (Wii). Even if it was slow as hell and couldn’t use my full internet speed.
I won’t. And not even due to the bad PR.

I bought a Switch back in the day. Beat BotW and that was fun. Barely touched it since.
First gen’s are hard to find cheap due to how easily exploited they are.
By first gen I meant not a switch 2. I’m not too particular about which version or revision.

Don’t forget Vita. Thing was king of being opened up in my opinion.
