And 3ds And OG Xbox And PS3 (though it took some exploting) And Wii U Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head, anyways
Oh yeah there are loads of great examples. Point being, official development stopping means nothing for the homebrew scene. If anything, it might actually be a good thing because there won't be any updates to break homebrew apps
Unless your Nintendo, that is
I mean, the Wii, WiiU and DS consoles have reasonably busy homebrew scenes. You're right, they're pretty small compared to the other consoles mentioned but they definitely exist, and I'm sure the Switch will get the same when they move on to the next console
I was referring to Nintendo still pushing software updates to try and break 3ds homebrew even though after next month they won't support the console in any way
