    The trouble is, Nintendo games don’t even go on sale, so you can’t do that. Nintendo used to be the affordable accessible console. Now they’re the opposite.

    I haven’t had a desire to play their games luckily, but the emulators are good. I tried Pokémon Arceus with one and it ran flawlessly. The game was boring as hell from what I played, but I wanted to see how it functioned compared to the older games I know.

      Yeah. I was providing context and a small joke in relation to the comment about how we got here. I mostly play Steam games anyway.

      A few years ago my wife bought a switch, we occasionally play it, but yes I saw the games were basically never on sale.
