It's not convoluted at all. It's extremely simple: if you want to (edit: legally) play first party Nintendo titles (or other exclusives), you MUST buy a switch. If you don't care about Nintendo exclusives, there's absolutely no reason to own a switch. That has been true of every, single Nintendo console ever released... except for the Wii. People bought a Wii so they could play a motion control game with Grandma once or twice, and then just let the console sit and collect dust.

Nintendo striking down emulators illegally?

[-] lowleveldata@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

How does that have anything to do with you pirating developers' hard work?

That only matters if you would have paid for it otherwise.

Well. NES/SNES/N64/GameCube/DS/GBA all had bangers. The well started to dry up around the wii.
