    I mean the emulation, their online service as a sub with it all included, rather than letting us buy like they did from the time they implemented it up through the 3DS. There’s issues with digital copies, but my 3DS has a permanent license when they closed the eShop, so all of the games I have on it will work until the system dies and I can;t downalod them again. The Switch, if I am not subscribed to Online, all of them are gone.

      I wholeheartedly agree, the classic games in Nintendo online as a subscription is a shit concept.

      If I didn’t have better ways of playing these (and more) retro games I wouldn’t have any morality issues using a hacked switch to play these.

        Oh, they’re all on RetroArch, now.

        I just hate them not letting you pay for it, their greed forces piracy, but then I’ve not downloaded a game because I was too broke to buy it for decades. It’s all been being unable to buy, or having terrible DRM that broke the game, or a shitty launcher that you were forced to use.
