Just like their prices, Nintendo will never change.

Arrrr!
I buy pretty much every console there is, but I'll pass here. Maybe there will be a price-cut OLED model and a new "Best of Switch 2" Series of games with cut prices (like on GameCube or Wii). Also I want to wait and see if the Joy-Cons 2 get drifting issues.
Gaming market as a whole seems to be going through a correction of sort and this is the time when Nintendo decides to raise the price? Good luck with that Nintendo.
I along with just about everyone here probably has a massive back catalogue of games on Steam to ride out whatever is currently happening in the gaming industry. Maybe I’ll just chill over by the corner and watch the gaming market craters itself into the ground.
I’m the dude in that meme looking at the other girl, and she is my icon collections in Steam, GOG, even Epic, etc. Icons with native Linux versions get slight preference.
SteamDeck it is.
Canadian here: What's the difference? /s
For you it'll be $120 Wilfrid Laurier bucks..
I look forward to playing these for free in a year or two when an emulator that works on the Steam Deck is released.
The reason the switch 1 was emulated so fast was a hardware vulnerability on nvidia's part. Presumably we won't see that again.
Also: While switch games DO run better on a steam deck, they don't run great. And I think estimates put the switch 2 at closer to a PS4 than PS3 in terms of power? But even PS3/360 games don't run gerat on a Steam Deck.
Not to mention nintendo's lawyers putting the fear of mario into the emulation community.
So in a few years? I could see MAYBE some proof of concepts. But I doubt we'll actually be able to properly emulate switch 2 games until at least 2030.
Well, then I look forward to playing games for this retro console for free in six years when an emulator drops for the Steam Deck 2.
4 real when Zelda was released on the switch is ran at like 1080p 30 fps. The emulator version was 4k @ 60 fps…
Am I the only one who doesn't care about this? We'll wait for the 33% nintendo sales and fill the rest of the year with 3rd party 80% sales like always
Or get it second hand for cheap lol, it's not a big deal to me at least.
Can't wait to wait 2 years and then pirate it.
But besides that; are there any good PC kart racers?
(Emphasis on "good", because I already know about Super Tux Kart, used to play it a lot more than 10 years ago, but today it feels very... Clunky and dated).
Sonic and Sega All Stars Transformed is top
You probably want a dedicated game, but I have a lot of fun with Dragon Kart in Yakuza: Like a Dragon.
super tux cart on linux is free and open source
Sonic Racing Transformed still the best
I hear very good things about Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed, and there's a new one coming.
Hmm... I've heard a few things about Sonic All-Stars too. Guess I should give it a shot.
Would be cool if Crash Nitro Kart isn't still a PlayStation exclusive...
and there’s a new one coming
Wut OoO really? (edit) Ok I found it Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds from Sonic Team! I'm super hyped
