I got a switch lite and played a decent bit of ‘new’ animal crossing. But that was basically it. All the other games were either shitty nintendo games or rereleases of PC games.
It rapidly became a picross machine for me. Now my steam deck occupies that position with squeakcross (cute rodent themed picross). I can’t imagine any adult buying a Switch 1/2 over a deck tbh. It might cost more/the same, but like… you’re not tied to nintendo’s shitty system. And it feels too expensive for kids. They really need a DS/3DS replacement. Something cheaper and more portable.
The last time I had a memorably good time playing Nintendo games was on the Gamecube. They could make a killing porting Gamecube games, but for some reason, they just don’t. They could dedicate an entire console generation to remastering and rehashing the multiplayer aspects of the great ones. Release Eternal Darkness, Perfect Dark, Diddy Kong Racing, DK64, and anything else. Instead, there’s some half-assed subscription service to play a version of Ocarina of Time that’s worse than the Gamecube remaster.
I considered buying a Nintendo 64 or GameCube a while ago but unfortunately the games are just too expensive now. At this point re-releasing them is money waiting to claimed.
i didn’t even buy the first one
I didn’t either. Lost interest in Nintendo after the Wii U. Seems I made the right choice given how cartoonishly greedy they’ve become.

I’ve been using the Nintendo DS for nearly 20 years now and it still holds up well. Wouldn’t mind if those types of systems became popular again.

Yeah they don’t make money off the 2nd hand market, might as well compete with it? Might even have a deflationary effect on 2nd hand goods.
