    Last I checked, Nintendo has always sold its hardware for profit. Also, Switch 2 has not been struggling to sell. 1778245890 Oh you sweet summer child...

    You should read the rest of the sentence. The game key cards were never going to be actual physical carts. No amount of tantrums will change this fact.

    Nintendo Direct partner showcase scheduled for Feb 5

    No, Microslop didn't try to kill off physical media. They tried to add effectively always-online DRM to both physical and digital games. Which sucked, but it wasn't a plot to get rid of physical media, but rather to take control of the console away from the user. Which was honestly way *way*...

    Nintendo Direct partner showcase scheduled for Feb 5

    Let's assume for a minute that the industry wants to kill off physical media. Key cards do not serve this purpose. Also, the Xbox One didn't try to kill off physical media. They tried to add (more) DRM to physical media. There's a difference. The physical/digital distinction is not relevant...

We're not talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars, we're talking $17,500, and only after multiple DMCA takedown notices were ignored, multiple platform bans were circumvented, and court summons were also ignored. Using the threat of self-harm to try and...

    "Nintendo started their crackdown on Youtube during the Iwata years, but it goes against my narrative, so I'm going to pretend that they actually didn't." Good heavens.

    Nintendo wins lawsuit against streamer who played pirated games

    What are you even talking about? Shutting down Melee events and the much maligned Nintendo creators program where they went after anyone with Nintendo content in their videos started under Iwata's reign. He was awesome, don't get me wrong, but Nintendo was never your whimsical uncle making...
