But the switch isn't just an underpowered console... It's a handheld with an HDMI port

Our family uses it all the time for Smash Bros, Mario Kart, or other party games.

I would not have bought a Switch if it didn’t have console mode.

Still, raw processing power comparatively it is underpowered, can't push beyond 1080p for example, which is fine for Nintendo games because they make games with that limitation in mind, third party switch games are a lot more hit or miss, especially ports of pc games.

Compared to even cell phones the switch is laughably underpowered in the year 2024.

Not saying it can't be useful or enjoyable, just gotta face facts about what the device is lol.

Steam deck is starting to eat their lunch I think.
