Well that sucks but I still don't understand why I'm being quoted.

Every minute of my day does not have a monetary value, no. And if your does, I pity you.

Also, can you please share your invention of this magical battery glue that actually removes cleanly with no fire risk and goes back cleanly to Nintendo and Apple? It’s cool that you’ve figured out how to do that even though these hardware manufacturers haven’t.

you forgot the /s

Not all value is monetary, although it’s interesting that you default to assuming that.

I really appreciate iFixit and how they help bring the discussion of repairability to the forefront.

And where would you download from, that is seen as legal sharing of someone else's IP?

The closest you could get is by locating the ROM file in some PC remakes, assuming there's no "protection" on them.

Again, playing around the "legal" way to do things. In reality, it's different.

"smh" serves the same purpose here.

Probably depends entirely on what games you play, and how sensitive you are, but hall effects feel like trash and destroy the joycon battery life. I tried playing Celeste with hall effects and wooooow was it bad. Basically unplayable past the early chapters.

Nintendo has been the Apple of the video game world since the N64.

and dislike piracy.

Because you cant just... You know, Fucking Rip the game from The cardridge?

Not to mention those things are expensive AF. If I had to replace a part on my car that cost 25% of the cost of the entire car EACH time, I would just not buy from that company any longer (which is what I’m doing). Not sure why this person is writing paragraphs and paragraphs of excuses for Nintendo.

I can't, because I don't have the 1st gen or whatever with the faulty firmware. Maybe there's a new exploit, idk.

I'd be fine downloading a digital copy if I own the cartridge, I'm just too lazy to actually find a suitable emulator and just play on the Switch. My kids like to watch me anyway, so the TV is usually a better option, hence the Switch.

We take it on trips as well, so it's pretty nice. I bring my Steam Deck as well, but that's for me, not my kids.

"magical" glue? I don't know what you're talking about.

You're the one that said it, not me

Blow a whole city? That's dedication

There is nobody with more dedication than IP lawyers and Nintendo.

Great video. That's a disappointing outcome though.

It was interesting to hear though that Nintendo hasn't made any replacement parts available for the original switch, despite the fact that New York State apparently requires this by law.

I wonder if they'll be forced to comply with that at some point. There are probably other jurisdictions that require this or that will require this soon. I'd love to see some pressure applied to companies that don't make replacement parts available.

At this point I trust in the EU to force Nintendo to play the right-to-repair game.
