I was not trying to start a debate, just stating why I’m not into PC gaming, and that I prefer Nintendo, is all. Didn’t think it was going to be a huge issue.

Where to begin.  
How about your “PC gaming isn’t for everyone” argument. Please explain how it isn’t? Really, you can build a PC that would surpass both PS4, Xbox one, and undoubtedly, the Wii U and 3ds in power for $400, building it is about as hard as building a lego house, any errors are usually just small annoyances that can be fixed with a quick Google search, and launching games are pretty much just clicking on an icon or a “play” button in steam. No more need to screw around with DOS anymore.
 
Next, your “There are no games that interest me”, you could say that this is an opinion, but you could also say that “I hate all [skin color] people” is an opinion, though I admit to a less extreme, so don’t think I’m saying what you are saying is as bad as racism. Truth is, it’s a very narrow and even downright ignorant view to have. Reason why is because you are ignoring thousands upon thousands of a very diverse selection of games, be it exclusive or multiplatform. Might I ask, what games are you interested in that are on PC? And even then are you talking about exclusives? Not to mention, I saw you were talking about SNES games down in the comments earlier, you do know you can emulate every console up to the gamecube/wii, play them with higher resolution and framerate, maybe even inject a nice SweetFX or ENB to them? Also, have you not heard of games such as: Deus Ex, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl/Call of Pripyat/Clear Sky, System Shock 2, most of the Xcom series, Undertale, Stardew Valley, the Sims, Pillars of Eternity, etc.? Not to mention, modding adds a whole new layer of fun to gaming.
 
Now, your “I can’t game with keyboards or mouses”, I would agree with you that it truly is an opinion, (Though, if you can use a mouse to browse the web, you can most certainly use a mouse to play a strategy game), buuuut, your argument is invalidated by the fact that you can use a controller, infact, ANY controller, on a PC. Some taking more tinkering than others, but the point still stands. And if a game doesn’t have any native support, softwares like Xpadder and Joy2key will be there to save the day. Also, you can game from the couch if you wanted to on a PC. So there’s that. Even a SNES controller for the full experience.
 
Up next, your argument on how it is up to personal opinion, in reality, it’s not. It is indeed absolute fact. Here, have yourself a nice read. It’s good for the mind. https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/wiki/guide
 
Then, your “So can we give the usual lame PC VS console debate a rest, guys?”, for one, I’ve never been one to think that taking part in a debate would be good to stop a debate, and for two, I have plenty of motivations for my argument. Some of them are even on that page I sent you.
 
That being said, I admit, I was being kind of stupid, as I was in all reality talking about the Wii U, instead of the 3ds (of which is doing fine), and admittedly I really don’t hate Nintendo at all (Save for a bunch of decisions they’ve made and a whole shitload of youtube copyright drama). Infact, the Wii U is the only console worthwhile out there (Though not better than the PC).

Honestly, I just use PCs for surfing the internet, and PC gaming isn’t for everyone. There’s honestly very few PC games that interest me, and I can’t game with keyboards, or mouses very well. So whether PCs or consoles are better are up to personal opinion, not “absolute fact.”
 
So can we give the usual lame PC VS console debate a rest, guys?
 
Also, ironic to call the 3DS a “dying platform” when ironically, it’s outsold all 3 main consoles of it’s generation. Even the WiiU isn’t doing as “badly” as some claim, seeing how it’s still sold millions of units.

Here we go.  
Yes, this was a b8 reply.  
As for the Smash 4, thank you for your one game mate. For a dying platform. It’s not like there are a wealth of games on PC that could equal or smash Smash 4.

I don’t know, the 3D does enhance gameplay in some ways, and has helped those with perspective issues. It helps you gauge distance in some games better. Even for sidescrollers, like “3D Classics: Kirby’s Adventure” it helps you tell platforms apart from the background better on the smaller screen, which comes in handy. So I find that a very close-minded statement to call it a “stupid gimmick.” (People used to say the same thing about touchscreen games, motion controls, and such.)  
Though, I guess the 3D isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.
 
Still, I’m fine with VC games being 2D.

Waaaahhhh I want portable SNES games! :( Skunky jealous!
 
And no, they aren’t in 3D like the Sega Genesis M2 remakes, but they still look good on 3DS. Judging by the Eshop screenshots, the colors are brighter/clearer then the 3DS NES games. (Which looked to dark to me.)

Yep, in fact the first original 3 SNES games, Super Mario World, F-Zero, and Pilotwings were just released on the 3DS Eshop. (With games like EarthBound, DK Country, A Link to the Past, and more on the way.)  
There’s a catch though, they will only work on the New3DS models, and not the older slower ones.

Cute!
 
Though, I’m still sad the new SNES Virtual Console 3DS games can only work on the New3DS systems. (Apparently, the older 3DS is too slow to properly emulate them.) Tempted to do a trade-in.
