I don't care if palworld wins. I just want Nintendo to lose
I don't think I will buy another Nintendo console ever (unless they turn around) and will only buy 2nd hand games so Nintendo doesn't get any money.
The sad thing is that Nintendo does make very good games and some of the only great party games left with a low skill entry level
The only way there is emulation. Sure, you won't get to use the cool features of their hardware, and you might get to play a buggy game a year after release, but you are not supporting a shifty company - and that counts.
What "cool features" does Nintendo do anymore? The big draw of the switch was that it's portable, and there's dozens of handheld PC's to compete there. Then there's the motion control, which wasn't great in the long run and can also be done by emulators with a variety of controllers supporting it
Especially detachable controllers and their games supporting them. You can have two per player in a 4 player game, or 8 where each holds one. I quite liked the feature and found it novel. I am not sure if you can do the same using emulators - or at least do it as seamlessly.
You could just have extra regular controllers. That was always an option. And with the price of Joycons it wouldn't be much more costly
yup. we use Xbox controllers with our hacked switch
