> For Nintendo games specifically, the way to play them is to buy a Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch 2 and subscribe to the Nintendo Switch Online service for $20

Unless you absolutely need to play these games away from home and a phone isn't good enough, please just emulate on a computer instead of paying a subscription for some mediocre emulators that you can't even own permanently.

Also, the article really should mention why cheap generic HDMI converters are bad instead of just saying they're not recommended (the lower video quality is obvious, but what's less obvious is that they usually have significant latency that may make certain types of games much less pleasant to play)

Nintendo Switch Online has insanely easy-to-use netplay for retrogames between consoles that were formerly locked to a single console.

Switch 2 is not emulable currently, and likely won't be in a very good while.
