    Why are you in the Nintendo community for console gamers commenting about emulation?

    I have a PC that I built that runs Linux Mint. I have a Steam Deck. I can also emulate whatever game I want.

    Some Nintendo fans just want to buy Nintendo things and enjoy the experience because they love the games. Let gamers enjoy games no matter how they want to play them.

    I am also excited for this new console and will be watching it to see if it’s a good fit me in the future.

      Honestly I didn’t look at the community, but it shouldn’t matter since criticism should be embraced when it’s made in good faith. Also I don’t care if I get down voted.

      I agree 100%. And I like these games too. I’m just saying that it’s the games and not the console which is the actual thing that these users love and enjoy.

      I doubt users enjoy buying new consoles every few years, dealing with supply chain issues, privacy issues, and contributing to our throw away society.

      I used to game on consoles too till my Xbox 360 got a red ring of death, my PS2 just stopped working, and my gamecube stopped reading disks. I realized that I could do nothing to fix them, they had to be recycled, and I would have to replace them with something else. Around the same time I realized how much I can do with a PC. From work, to watching movies, listening to music, and yes even gaming. But the cherry on top was how easy they were to upgrade, change parts, and fix.

      I’m not saying that Nintendo shouldn’t be involved in how their games run. But I am saying there really should be other options. Even Sony release games on PC.
