Man, I remember getting my first console, a used Super Nintendo. I played the shit out of some of those games, like Mario and Lion King. When I was a little older I got a DS for Christmas, and a Wii for my birthday the very first year it launched (I was a poor kid, that was a BIG deal). I'm a PC gamer, with the only exception being Nintendo consoles. I remember thinking how cool and expensive the consoles were, how awesome and stylish, and they gave me a totally new way to play video games (on my TV?? With a remote?? OR IN THE CAR?!!!) That sense of wonder eventually went away, as it always does, but my adoration remained. I remember the first time I beat MarioKart, watching the tribute to Iwata play on my TV and feeling a sense of loss even though I'd never heard of the guy before then. I thought, here's the guy responsible for some of my best childhood memories, and he's dead? That's... kind of a tragedy. Maybe it was for the best - sure, things might be different if he'd lived, but what if the corporate machine turned anyway, and we were here regardless? From what I've read of him, he'd probably be suffering and depressed, maybe locked in his office ashamed of what had become of his company.

I just want to play my Pokemans, I never asked for any of this 1984 bullshit. I can't say I regret buying the original Switch, but I don't think I'm ever going to buy a brand new Nintendo console again and that makes me a little sad. This company I thought was the pinacle of game tech and games as a kid is really just a pile of corporate bullshit that, no matter the level of nostalgia, I can't stomach supporting.

Same exact sentiment here, from this day going onward, I am just going to be emulating their old games that I played throughout my childhood.

In the end, I think it's a matter of it being an aspect of our lives that is forever in the past.
The whole videogames industry is going down the shitter as a whole, everything is getting more unnecessarily expensive. Graphics cards being sold by scalpers that are inflating the prices and shortages occurring, Triple A games having shit optimization.
Gaming as a whole becoming more subscription based, I suspect a bit that eventually cloud gaming will become a thing in the future but that's a whole other can of worms.

It really feels like a case of an era disappearing as a whole.

Honestly I feel like this does not get talked about.

Everyone screams about big carts being expensive but companies would not have to buy them if they could optimise for shit.

Oh consoles need to have terrabytes of storage? Is that because there are so many good games fitting them all on would take that amount? No, it’s because one game takes up half the space.

I got a Sega Genesis like a year or two before I got a Super Nintendo. I think I liked it way better! I got my SNES in middle school.

I always liked the (rather cynical) theory that some companies (especially Activision and Infinity Ward with the CoD series) deliberately inflated the size of their games so that players' hard drives filled up faster and left less room for competing games. Incompetence is the Occam's razor-compliant explanation (which I tend to agree with) but this notion always made me smile.

I guess that sounds kinda plausible.

When it comes to food companies like cheetos, they put certain chemicals in their snacks that make you want more of it by making the taste almost taste satisfying but you don't feel like you hit the peak of the flavor so you continue eating more.

Companies are always trying to fuck with their customers using sneaky psychology to keep them hooked. I don't see why games companies wouldn't do this.

I just fired up Mario again, and forgot how fucking annoying it was to try and force MOTION CONTROLS onto a handheld if you want the 'true experience'

You mean Odyssey? Its best played on a tv but with the joy-cons detached from the doghead and held one in each hand. People tend to forget that and eventually I found it easier to just not do that if you weren't actively trying for one of the few moons that relied on it.

none of the moons or controls should have depended on a waggle, when a button works just fine. Does any one other than the mentally disabled actually like having to flick their hands up in the air to do a move? or hold onto fucking tiny controllers in each hand, in an unnatural way for anyone who's ever played a videogame?

The joycon were neccissary to make it a hybrid, which was neccissary for it's success. But no, they hurt my hands enough that I said fuck it and brought a pro controller years ago.

The shitcon came with a plastic thing to make it more like a controller. This stupid fucking mario game inserted a 'true and only way to play the game' mechanism, which is retarded

If I wanted to download complete libraries of old Nintendo consoles where is the best place to look?

The internet?

That being said, doing so is pointless when a very large number of old games are garbage like Ninjabread Man. You're better off downloading a curated list then if there's something the list is missing that you really want to play for some reason you just add it.
