I have always been a nintendo fan, but I haven’t bought a single thing from them since news of his sentencing came out. Until Gary is freed I’m buying used, pirating, or doing without. I can’t support the company anymore. I need a new controller for my switch (because all four of my existing controllers have broken in some way), and rather than buying an official or licensed controller, I just bought an adapter that let me use other controllers like the dualsense.
Side note, I know he’s “freed” as in not in prison, but he’s still basically owned by nintendo for life. It’s slavery.
I’ve found scans of old game guides on archive.org, and you can still check out https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ for walkthroughs, many of which are just .txt files that you can save and/or print.
I have an RG353V. I got that one for ~the aesthetic~ (looks like an old gameboy), and I do like it, but I can see why people generally suggest a model with a horizontal form factor instead, since the vertical (gameboy shaped) is not very ergonomic. I mainly stick to 8 or 16-bit games. but it should be able to handle 5th gen consoles (saturn, ps, n64) just fine, but 6th gen (dc, ps2, gamecube) will depend on what game you’re running and may require tweaking the settings. ps3 is right out, I’m afraid.
Like I said, I mainly run older stuff, so double check what I’m saying if 5th and 6th gen games are important to you. I don’t really mess with those.
If you want a handheld, Anbernic makes some good stuff. https://anbernic.com/ They do tend to load the SD card up with games beforehand, but the card is cheap & likely to fail, and the games are sorted & titled strangely (and may be otherwise dodgy). So you probably want to replace it with your own card with games you sourced yourself.
I never even considered that the name referred to baby boomers I thought it just meant they went “boom”
