I’m not saying it will never happen but just wait and see where we are in like 5 years. People are acting like they’ll be able to play the new Mario Kart on their computer this time next year

Who knows what kind of nasty DRM they’ve got running this time around even if people can find a way to hack the console and dump games

    On one hand they do seem to be taking extra DRM steps this time with the cartridges only containing a download key.

    On the other hand Nintendo also tend to make really trivial mistakes that blow their consoles wide open so my money is on some remote code execution via the stupid webcam accessory.

    Still not as bad as Sony and 3 generations of browser exploits in a row. Or tony hawks games

      it’ll be a browser exploit. Either they’ll ship a full browser as an app or an embedded one for signing into public WiFi. Either way, it’ll be the first point of entry while other reverse engineering shit gets figured out. Might not give access to encryption keys or enable homebrew but these devices are always broken eventually.
