I gotta stop giving Nintendo my money

Ever since the Steam Deck, I haven't really felt the need to give Nintendo another penny. Valve made a better Nintendo console than Nintendo, and with the 3rd party emulator integration, it feels like a native experience.

I mean, to be fair both consoles are over a decade old. Still not happy about it.

I get it. Servers and infrastructure aren't a zero cost. However, without an alternative to get a lot of these games, it feels very shitty. Plus the DS and Wii services went down not that long ago.

Well... while there's no legal way to get many of the 3DS games, there are still plenty of alternatives available.
