Can't blame them but at the same time, yeah kind of sad they folded as easily as a Nintendo DS.
I will say Nintendo can count on me, a older game with disposable income and kids, not buying a switch 2 with they way they've been acting with all of their lawsuit and anti-consumer practices.
Same here: When I want to buy a game for portable play, I'll just use my Steam Deck and buy from Valve or GOG instead, maybe even emulate some Nintendo games on it out of spite.
Same, I gave my daughter my Switch and used Yuzu to play the games I owned for it on my TV (at greatly improved resolution and framerate, of course).
Now that my PC is hooked up to my TV, my next console is just Steam and my next portable will be the Steam Deck as well.
Logging in to cancel my switch online right now. I was using YUZU to play games I bought from them, in some cases even more than once. F Nintendo. I won't be buying a Switch 2.
Better yet, since their hate on piracy is so big, buy HACKED switch 2 when it'll be available and pirate the fuck out of them
Just get a Steam Deck and be able to play Computer games too!
I honestly wish there a would be steam deck with size of psvita, the size is only problem, steam deck is better in everything but size
GPD sells a PSP Go shaped computer, which, if the Steam Deck didnt exist, was probably going to be the computer I would have ended up owning, but Valve's version of Linux and its control mapping is PHENOMENAL, so I dont know how it'd compare in that sense
Edit: According to this video the GPD Win 4 works pretty amazingly with Steams OS, so it seems like a valid option
Yeah that was good, but price, and psvita had sensor controls as steam deck but gpd didn't, yet i always wanted to have "gpd max" umpc since it's versatile
Somebody would have most likely bought a switch 2 to hack it, so that's still money in nintendos hand either way, plus free marketing/advertisement of nintendo IP. Fuck 'em.
As another older gamer I have bought every single switch first party game to display them on my shelves. I also have them all on my PC as roms so I can enjoy them with high fidelity and stable 60 FPS.
I will neither buy another one of their games nor their next console and I also downloaded each and every rom I could find out of spite. I hope their next console crashes and burns like the Wii U...
Old guy here: Fuck Nintendo
This right here. Disney and Nintendo get no more of my hard earned $$$. These companies create iconic products and they get paid for it. All of the DRM anti-consumer over-reach is where I draw the line though.
