N64/GC sure (if you’re okay with letterboxed screen) although not the most efficient use of battery. Switch is debatable since compatibility is not there and won’t improve anytime soon. With DS/3DS you must be joking, it’s a different form factor entirely.

Do yourself a favour and get a DS Lite and a flashcart, they’re dirt cheap and it’s just super convenient device. I’d say the same for 3DS but they are ridiculously expensive these days for some reason, glad I got mine years ago. Some games really utilised that 3D screen for spatial puzzles and such (like Mario 3D Land), not really easy to reproduce so that’s a bummer.

This hasn’t been possible for years now unfortunately. I mean, you can extract all the certs you want with Lockpick but they won’t get you anywhere. It’s been like 7 years since then so I don’t recall the name of the tool that was used for downloading stuff. Could have been this.

Back in Wii U / 3DS days Nintendo didn’t protect their CDNs at all, no authentication. It was quite funny on 3DS because if you bought something on eShop it was stored as a small file on your end so you could just copy those „ticket” files and then go to eShop and have an experience like a paying customer.

When Nintendo finally realised they blocked comms from non-Nintendo devices but you could still extract a cert and use it to authenticate. Most people used shared ones because it was assumed they’d be burned sooner or later. When those shared certs became harder to get I tried using my own assuming they get burned because so many people used them. I was wrong and burned mine too very quickly.

As someone who has a Switch v1 that’s banned to the point where it can no longer receive updates, you really have to try. I extracted a certificate from my Switch to authenticate downloads from Nintendo CDN when it was still possible. I guess that’s fair because unlike with Valve, Sony or Microsoft my account is perfectly usable, online play included, on all other devices other than this console.

Yeah, as my Switch v1 can no longer carry me through my entire commute I expect same to happen with S2, which is the worst part of this.

Which is: If we're going down, we are sending a nuke at every nearby capital we can, ally, foe, neutral, doesn't matter; if we can't exist, no one can.

And that guarantees they’re never going to be existentially threatened. Now let’s have that for everyone so it’s actually fair.

While I appreciate USB-C port at the top so you can rest your Switch on your legs and charge it at the same time, that’s not exactly convenient.

Yes, that argument would make sense if there were no nukes in existence but some countries have nukes already.

I read it after a day of train travel with Switch 2 so that article hit a nail on the head for me although you’d be hard pressed to get just 2 hours, more like 2,5h for heavy titles with WiFi. Zelda TOTK could be stretched to almost 3h in the airplane mode with brightness slider in the middle. Very similar to Switch v1/Erista that I never upgraded out of because it’s so easy to hack.

I’m fine with that as long as Netanyahu does it with a suicide vest.
