Nintendo: We respect your love of owning physical games. Also Nintendo: Here’s a cartridge containing approximately zero game, just a tiny plastic permission slip for our servers. It’s like selling someone a book where every page says »please connect to the library.« Still, apparently that counts as consumer friendly now.

Their “Game Key”-Cartridges literally are just shortcuts to the eshop. Nintendo thinks you’re stupid.

Remember when Nintendo had to be sued to make them repair their (blindingly expensive) flimsy-ass joycons, and then they decided to make the Switch 2 with the exact same defective parts?

I say this like an ex-boyfriend from an abusive relationship, Nintendo does not love you. Much like most people in my life, once I ran out of money, Nintendo disappeared.

A Bandaid… in a mountain of anti-consumer practices

Nintendo loves you(r money)!

I’m just here to see how many people here still think that their own first party games are on those garbage key cards.

Have people been able to do what they’re doing with Sony’s stuff to Nintendo’s stuff? Can I find Nintendo games to play on my Linux natively? I’d really like to try some new animal crossing or a backlog of Mario games, but I simply am not a fanboy anymore for Nintendo. I think super Nintendo was really the peak for me. Or maybe n64? I guess I never had a GameCube. I had one for my kids then I had a Wii I soft modded, and it suddenly died at some point after I had it set up with all kinds of cool shit and cover flow emulators, even commodore 64 emulator, just think it would be cool for nostalgia if I could find some stuff like they’re doing with God of war and everything else for the PlayStation except from Nintendo. What is it called? Decompiling recompiling something. I’m not really sure. All the technical shit, And I don’t really even have the motivation to turn on my PC half the days. If I get out of bed that is, but if there is and anybody knows a way way for native PC play with Nintendo games hit me up
