Which is honestly something I love about their games. I play Nintendo for some casual gaming fun, then I go to Steam for my preferred niches.

The one glaring exception here is Pokemon, but that's technically Game Freak instead of Nintendo proper, so I guess they're okay making the same toy over and over because it's a gold mine.

Yeah Game Freak is their own thing really.

Best part of the timeless Nintendo games is they're all extremely easy to emulate and play forever. (Switch online subscription can suck my toadstool)

What do you mean by that? That the games are easy to emulate, or that volunteers have spent countless hour getting Emulation to work so now it's possible?
