At what point does nintendo make the process of buying their games so complicated that it actually becomes easier to learn how to install a modchip?? This is just ridiculous.
- Already did, $150 bucks got me modchip, all games, SD card support, emulators, backups. Fuck the convoluted mess of Nintendo.
  
  Care to share more info? This sounds right up my alley. And maybe a bit of perma-attaching joycons. Maybe I just want an OLED lite haha
  
  SD card support
  What do you mean?
- Genuine question: why is this a problem for you?
  
  There are lots of region-locked digital games. Having a Japanese account is easy. Having a Japanese payment method is hard.
- I understand the outrage. I think that may be a bit of a stretch though.
