I don't care if palworld wins. I just want Nintendo to lose

I don't think I will buy another Nintendo console ever (unless they turn around) and will only buy 2nd hand games so Nintendo doesn't get any money.

The sad thing is that Nintendo does make very good games and some of the only great party games left with a low skill entry level

Heey, I have been doing the same. Sick of all of the manufacurers to be fair. I mostly buy the games seocnd hand too because publishers suck, last ones I supported were IOI and if they push always on internet connection in the 007 game I will pirate it.

The only way there is emulation. Sure, you won't get to use the cool features of their hardware, and you might get to play a buggy game a year after release, but you are not supporting a shifty company - and that counts.

What "cool features" does Nintendo do anymore? The big draw of the switch was that it's portable, and there's dozens of handheld PC's to compete there. Then there's the motion control, which wasn't great in the long run and can also be done by emulators with a variety of controllers supporting it

Especially detachable controllers and their games supporting them. You can have two per player in a 4 player game, or 8 where each holds one. I quite liked the feature and found it novel. I am not sure if you can do the same using emulators - or at least do it as seamlessly.

You could just have extra regular controllers. That was always an option. And with the price of Joycons it wouldn't be much more costly

yup. we use Xbox controllers with our hacked switch

I’ll support Nintendo games. Nintendo is one of the big studios that actually publish finished games, and doesn’t fill them with micro transactions.

I wish their lawyers where less aggressive, but the games are solid.
