Nintendo have permanently lost a customer in me because of their recent behaviour.

Their games have been easily pirated for a while anyways

Honestly, unless you're a young teen or schoolkid, they don't put out much content worth it anyway. Unless you consider endless variations on Mario innovative.

I might get a switch 2 only after it's hackable. I thought of doing it with the switch but it seemed too complex for me. At this point I'm really fed up with Nintendo's anti consumer bs. And I'm not just referring to the copyright takedowns and closure yuzu but things like the Mario all stars collection which they then created artificial scarcity around and the Zelda anniversary where they release a HD remaster of skyward sword which is seen as the weakest of the series. I do enjoy the odd Nintendo game but I've had my switch since the year after it came out and I've only beaten 4-5 games on it and I've only 10-20 at most on it and those are mostly indies.

Recent? They've been pulling bullshit moves like this since the 80s, when they successfully killed off the game rental market in Japan. To this day you still can't rent games in that country.

This is why it's always morally correct to pirate Nintendo games, and thankfully Nintendo consoles have had a history of being among the easiest to emulate, especially the N64, Wii, and Switch. All three of those systems had working emulators while the consoles themselves were still in their peak years.

My laptop sucks though so I can really only run anything up to Super Nintendo on it

There are so many good games for the SNES. You are good to go.
