it's not always about "cheap games". I find the screens on the 3ds too small to see the text on them without magnifying lenses. I'm going to be looking into a 2ds xl simply because the text is readable, but they aren't exactly cheap either.
At one time I had thought nintendo would maybe have a Cart slot to play 3DS games on tv since it would have worked, considering the wii u has a game pad touch screen, but it never happened. Sony makes TV like accessories for the portable systems, but not nintendo. We only had the gameboy player, a NDS/3DS player would have been cool for WII U With the online modes and stuff. Just sucked it never happened.
Well in theory it "Could" be posible. Remember when people started to run PSP Games on their PS3s? But we can't be sure until we have IOSU and after some years of research.
@SylverReZ find me ONE community that is free of drama and politics. even video games forums (like this one) have politics section. and for some reason gamers still take consoles/brands wars seriously. even as a kid i never took the console wars bait despite being a nintendo kid.
nah, discord is also a shithole. discord is good only if you have your own community with your own rules. or if you re lucky to find some groups that arent shitholes.
as about forums, when i recently revisited some old forums i used to be regular and seeing how immature most members still are i was like "Yeap. Nothing of value has been lost.". Unfortunately it's the good, comfy forums that ended up dead or shut down, especially because of internet centralization.
