Nintendo is a Japanese video game Corporation that is known for making proprietary games such as Mario, Pokemon and Zelda alongside proprietary video game consoles such as the Nintendo 64, Gamecube, Wii, DS, Gameboy, etc. They are among many wealthy corporations who like to abuse intellectual "property" laws. For instance, they have sued and shut down nintendo console emulator projects for over two million dollars, tried to make renting games illegal which failed in the US but succeeded in Japan, made video game console modding illegal in Japan and even someone in Japan has been arrested and put in prison for 2 years because apparentely selling a modded console is going to make a capitalistic multinational and multibillion dollar company at risk of going bankrupt, taking down fan games and fan remakes (takedown notice) (despite nintendo doing this, you can still find these games from alternate sources that I will not link for legal reasons and nintendo believes a fan remake of an old game not for sale is going to make Nintendo loose all their net worth), and patenting game mechanics so no games can be too similar to their's in gameplay and prevent any potiental competition (this article by Richard Stallman goes into further detail on why software patents are bad). Nintendo was apart of many Millenials and Gen z childhood and it is known that many nintendo gamers tend to more adults than kids since kids nowadays are playing trash like fortnite and roblox. Nintendo Switch 1 and 2 are proprietary consoles and you have to agree to some eula which states you have a license to use the console and you do not own it and have the ability to shut them down for unauthorized use article link eula link. Never buy or support a nintendo product, you are only supporting restrictions, nintendo's anti consumer practices, and your own enslavement by doing so.
