This whole practice, among other things, is so shitty that I decided to not get a Switch 2, having had every Nintendo console since the NES.

But it's important to make the distinction between disabling and bricking. It may seem like a technicality, but that's the kind of thing that'll get a lawsuit dismissed. Not that I have any faith in that process anyway.

Guess I lied. I didn't have the Virtual Boy. But does the Pokemon Mini really count as a console?

I'm done with Nintendo and all their IPs. Brain surgery with a backhoe, and all that.

the only reason to play switch is mostly pokemon games anyways.

I never got into Pokemon despite being the absolute target demographic when it came out, and most of what I've heard from fans of the series since the Switch was how lazy and low effort the games felt compared to other major Nintendo properties. So...
