Ever since the Steam Deck, I haven't really felt the need to give Nintendo another penny. Valve made a better Nintendo console than Nintendo, and with the 3rd party emulator integration, it feels like a native experience.

I mean, to be fair both consoles are over a decade old. Still not happy about it.

However, without an alternative to get a lot of these games, it feels very shitty.

Well… while there's no legal way to get many of the 3DS games, there are still plenty of alternatives available.
