First Nintendo Switch Flash Cart The Mig Switch Is Now In My Hands So Here Is the Review!Where to buy,UK : https://shop.skinpixel.co.uk/ARG use code ARG10 to...
Nintendo has a tendency to be a-holes to streamers who acknowledge they are playing pirated or modded games on their consoles. It is why you tend to want to follow yahoo anime rules even if you are obviously emulating a SNES.
But also… what is even the point of this? With the 3ds it sort of made sense since you really had no other handheld options. These days, portable gaming devices are a dime a dozen and the vast majority of the “modern” ones outperform the switch anyway. So people who are planning to pirate nintendo games already know they are 100-200 USD away from a much better experience that can ALSO pirate plenty of other platforms (and has Steam which gets rid of the nintendo tax for those who buy games). Which, factoring in the cost of the flash cart (looks like 59 USD from their US store with maybe 7 bucks of shipping?), isn’t even that much.
And for people who want to play it on their TV/PC? It is even easier to outperform the switch.
I guess there are “kids” for whom their switch is their primary and only console. But it has mostly slotted itself into the role as “the second console that everyone has” with a PS4/5 or XBOX whatever as the “primary” for non-Nintendo games. And the people who are going to be buying this cart likely aren’t 12 year old kids talking to their parents about why this random sketchy site needs credit card info…
You’re talking like everyone owns a steam deck od Rog Ally, or should just buy one of those instead? Well for starters, the SD doesn’t play switch games all really well. Frame rate and stuttering issues and not all games work.
Secondly; and the bigger thing is that the SD is far and away the most popular pc handheld. It’s estimated to have sold around 4 to 6 million units so far. I love mine. It’s awesome. Switch has currently sold 132 million units. It’s the most sold system in the world. More than any xbox, ps4, or ps5.
You’re talking like the Mig isn’t for people who already own a switch. You’re also in some weird edgelord mindset where you think mostly just kids own a switch? Nintendo releases the age demographics of switch users, since you enter in your birthday on your profile. Every age between 18 and 45 is higher than any age under 17. Most people with a switch aren’t 12. They’re 25.
I have been gaming since my parents bought me an Atari 2600 for Xmas in 1980-whaterver. I got a Switch for my 50th bday and it is a great console. Love it.
I will prob never buy a Steam Deck or equivalent though as they are costly and (IMHO) inferior to what I could get in a gaming laptop for similar money.
I have a gaming laptop and yes, you can get a gaming laptop for the same $600-$700 that will perform better than the steam deck, but I seldom used my gaming laptop, between the size, needing a controller or mouse (hate gaming with a laptop trackpad) booting up, needing to save the game yadda yadda yadda and finding a spot to set the laptop, the deck is just loads quicker and more convenient to play. I’ve probably played more games on my deck over the last year than the previous 3 years on my desktop or laptop combined. Between kids/family and work I just don’t have many large time chunks that I would dedicate to gaming. The Steam deck I can pick up and be playing 30 seconds later, then put it back into hibernation just as quick, where it loses around 5% battery a day, so I hardly ever shut it fully off.
The point is for people to have digital backups their roms to play legally and to play roms on native hardware that will guarantee smooth playing. The cost is also a factor since the switch is ending very soon; a used switch oled, a cart with 7 years worth of “free” games would <=$300. Pretty cheap if one wants to start gaming without breaking the bank.
Adding on to say, yes the Steam Deck is cheaper and better when getting one at the new discount prices. It all depends on preference for emulation or running on original software. And most here would agree that Steam deck with emulation is preferred.
Why would you think SD with emulation is preferred when a lot of the emulated games have frame rate and stuttering issues on it? A switch with flash cart would play the games perfectly.
My definition for very soon is with-in 2-3 years. In my opinion, a lot the games that are coming out are mostly filler and Nintendo has a track record of doing so before going on to the next big console with the new big AAA titles.
TotK and Wonder were far from what I’d call filler… and from memory, Nintendo has a track record of releasing big name games at the tail end of a console’s life cycle (tp on GC, botw on Wii u)…
I admit they’re likely releasing the switch successor soon, though they’ll likely continue to release games for the OG switch for a few years to come…

For me the Switch fills that role.

You mean, the same as the switch does normally, which in most of those same games, is not particularly well, because the switch is super low power.
Source for the switch ending very soon?

Which handheld devices are better regarding experience and easy piracy? Im asking because I might want to look in to that.
a) The point is to play Nintendo games b) You’d be surprised how smart 12 year olds are when they want something
