    Why would anyone play your games on hardware that’s ten years behind? The few Nintendo games I still buy (like Tears of the Kingdom actually) I still play on emulator, because it’s objectively better in every way. Fuck off.

      Seeing Tears of the Kingdom actually run in 60 fps on the steamdeck made me immediately sell my Switch. Nintendo are holding back technological development by dragging their feet, and pushing anti-consumer practices.

        Uhh, you did not see that. It doesn’t even get to 30 in most cases sadly.

      I’ve been working to build a large collection of DS and 3DS games that I still enjoy to this day on the original hardware.

      As a side rant, the 3DS/2DS really is a great console. It has a huge catelog of affordable games that can be purchased used from eBay and it doesn’t have the requirement to be online like the switch does. I took my switch off grid a while ago and was mega disappointed to find I couldn’t play a single game without “updates” because this wasn’t my “primary console” (a concept I didn’t realize existed or mattered).

      Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
