MODERATORS
Nintendo seems to be going harder than ever. Probably preparing for their new console which I will never buy out of principle.
Would you not buy it at all or buy it used then mod it afterwards to run your "homebrew" applications?
With the steam deck and the various related options out there, wouldn't it make more sense to get one of those and run some emulation?
Note: I haven't bought anything Nintendo since the 3DS.
It depends what a person values.
I'll use the 3DS as an example. If you have some games that need you to go back and forth frequently between the touchscreen and buttons it might be a bit awkward to do that on the Steam Deck.
It's also sometimes easier to run your backed up games on the original console versus tinkering with settings.
That's certainly a possibility
I imagine a lot of people are in that mindset. They want to try out a console that's a little past it's prime and not pay collector or new prices for games that are only a few years old.
