I stood in line for hours for the wii on launch… Back then, it was a new interesting product though. I wish I kept it, and all the accessories (especially guitar hero)

I bought a wii u… Sure they don’t fix the touchscreen if it breaks and you need a new one though… Still, there were some cool new games, but, somewhat similar to the Wii’s…

Switch, I understand lining up for it… But, once it was clear that any previous purchases are basically wasted, the joycons were seriously dodgy, and Nintendo was never going to fix it (and many another 5000 mario games), they should have lost people then.

Then they sold the switch 2… You can still only play games approved by nintendo, and really, the library is mainly Nintendo games, or games available on every platform. By now, Steam deck has gotten awesome, and you can STILL play games from your library from 20 years ago. And, you can use other stores if you want, and have a wide range of games, even in the steam store INCLUDING NSFW ones. And, you know those games are going to almost certainly work in the future without repurchase (and, also work on computer).

I literally just bought a humble bundle of 10 games for 20% the price of 1 switch game. And I can play them on computer, TV, Steamdeck, etc.

I’d only pay for nintendo if they were subscription based and thin client. As it stands though, I feel like I’m better off just waiting 20 years until I’m 60 and they’re readily available on emulator
