it doesn't support much but being able to play Ninja Gaiden 2 at 4K60 makes it worth it.
And F.E.A.R.
I find the selection of games supported so odd, there's no Armored Core but Doritos Crash Course runs perfectly
I don't go to other forums so I'm not sure if this view is present there as well, but there are a fair number of people here who share this view, and it's misguided. The notion that somehow 2026 Nintendo is more cutthroat and business-focused than Hiroshi Yamauchi's years is just laughable. It's a company. They exist to make a profit. If the game stuff didn't pan out for them, they'd be doing something else, as evidenced by the company's history.
As someone very involved in the world of business and marketing, I can assure you that the whole world is getting greedier, not just nintendo.I don't go to other forums so I'm not sure if this view is present there as well, but there are a fair number of people here who share this view, and it's misguided.

What happened is, we all grew up and are more plugged in, so you see it now where before you might not. There are aspects now that didn't exist then, but markets change. So too do companies. If they don't, they no longer stay in business.
I might be wrong, but Nintendo seems much more cutthroat now. Charging the price of Switch games + $20 for Switch 2 editions that barely have any new content (making those games cost premium $80), getting rid of budget editions of their games and not dropping price, charging 70$ for twenty years old Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, still not fixing their stick drifting technology and instead making people buy multiple joycons, charging for online gaming and for the expansion pack, making Gamecube games unavailable on Switch, not selling games that are on the expansion pack, charging premium for each piece of hardware outside of the console, making low budget games and charging premium for them (like Pokemon Z-A and its DLC)...I don't go to other forums so I'm not sure if this view is present there as well, but there are a fair number of people here who share this view, and it's misguided.

Uhhh...sorry to contradict you, but.....

Spot on, most PC port are done by third party a majority of the time and the hardware they have might not be applicable for the general buyers could afford.
Assuming this is how it is (I'm not in business or marketing) it would make sense that if the world were, so too would Nintendo. A company will have to keep up and evolve, even if it's in a bad way. Unless they went private and then they could do whatever, right?
If you're not aware of it, go and read about price fixing and retailer bullying and exclusivity deals in the 80s. The only reason it seemed less so to you under Iwata is that he was a friendly face who did good interviews. I don't mean to say he wasn't a nice man as it seems he certainly was, but his job was to maximize profit, not make people go "awww" over Kirby or whatever. That's marketing's job and he just happened to fit what they were doing then.

Nintendo Switch 2 Was the Best-Selling Console of 2025 in the U.S. and Is Still Outpacing the Nintendo Switch - IGN
The Nintendo Switch 2 was the best-selling console of 2025 in the U.S., both in unit sales and dollar sales, selling a total of 4.4 million units in the U.S, and continuing its streak of selling faster than the original Nintendo Switch.www.ign.com
Nintendo Switch 2 sales reach 4.4 million units in the US
Nintendo Switch 2 remains the fastest-selling video game console hardware platform in 2025. According to recent reports from websites like Nintendo Life, Nintendo has reported 4.
I knew someone could point this out, but Nintendo changed a lot between the 80s and 2026. There have been between 37 to 46 years between those two time periods (almost 50 years). Some of its staff died (like Iwata), others retired, some left and most likely there are very few there from the 80s. So even if some practices do have precedent in the 80s, it's a very different company from the one that had those practices almost 50 years ago.
Yeah, I've seen this too much like this guy's content and pattern, and a lot of this
