In comparison with other video game companies, including conglomerates such as Microsoft or Sony, Nintendo is well known for their unique hardware and, perhaps infamously, for locked-down software experiences. This is primarily why I have taken an interest in modifying these devices, as they have the potential to take these optimised experiences to a level of consistency inherently not found on other platforms.
Nintendo has launched a large number of handhelds and consoles ever since their first major debut with the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1985. View the table below for my experiences with each iteration of hardware.
