After my joycon drift got too bad I just never replaced them and stopped playing. ACNL is better than New Horizons anyway
Me, I sold it to my friend and bought a steam deck
The switch walked so the deck could run.
The steam deck runs switch games better anyways I'm told?
Eeeeehhh does a "more or less" gesture with a hand
I tested for a bit. Some games yeah. Others not really. The Zeldas are about the only things from the Switch that I really miss and whether you use Suyu or RyujiNX, Tears of the Kingdom runs like shit. Like pretty much unplayable.
Gonna give it a shot when Prime 4 drops though.
On emulators you mean?
Nope, I've had mine fired up everyday playing Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance
I rotate between switch, ps5, and PC regularly (not to mention older systems). But there have definitely been games where I avoided them on switch because i knew they'd run like ass.
I still play both Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch.
My grandma/mom are huge Nintendo fans, so I'll keep coming back. We like playing the Mario games together.
I still use it more than my series S since the pro controller is much more comfortable for me when I wanna play on my TV. I love the touchscreen in handheld mode for simple unwinding games like "stitch."
I don't even turn my series x on...I'm pretty underwhelmed.The switch is still cool
I haven't turned my Switch on in over a year.
Honestly the Steam Deck has made me realise just his much missed potential and poor design decisions the Switch had. Not to mention Nintendo being a scummy company...
So yeah, my Steam Deck has basically replaced the Switch for me.
Left as in stopped using it? I barely touch mine since I got the Stream Deck.
I wish I had a Steam Deck too, I hear the refurbished one costs about $200.
I don't use it anymore, after playing on my series X the thing is such a downgrade and the lite feels so flimsy in my hands yet gives me cramps due the flatness.
I don't even turn my x on, I just use a grip on the switch
About a year ago I got a steam deck and haven't looked back. Now my wife plays the switch
I looked around the house but couldn't find it. You sure it's not in your backpack OP?
I barely used it to begin with. Mostly had it for first party exclusives and portability, but once emulation got to the point where it delivered a superior experience the Switch became a dust collector.
The fact that I barely used the Switch made me hold off on getting a SteamDeck for a long time. Now that I have one, my high end gaming PC is the thing collecting dust and the Switch feels like a cheap toy.
The Switch was my most recent reminder that I'm not a console person. That said, I do still use it, off and on, with my 3dprinted portrait grip for playing Pinball FX3.
Though its been a while, I need to see if I still have the high score on the Bob's Burgers table.
I'd be interested in seeing a picture of the grip.
I think it's this one. There are a few out and its been a while, but its very much like that at the very least.
That's pretty neat, thanks
It's the only console we have, so I don't think we're going to leave it currently. I like playing Balatro still, and need to finish Tears of the Kingdom.
Dropped it the moment I got a PS5 and never turned back. It makes a good dust collector.
Nope, I still love to play it in bed (I've never played it docked since it was the handheld aspect that drew me) and just relax
Actually, my SteamDeck broke so I've been back to using my Switch a lot more! I picked up Yooka-Laylee on sale and have been really enjoying it!
Hell, if the price is right and my digital purchases all carry-over, I might even consider buying Switch 2, it's been a great little system.
Yep. Anything the switch can do, the steamdeck can do (probably better).
Zelda isn't available on the Steam deck.
Edit: at least not legally, and without jumping through hoops.
Can you emulate switch games on a Deck?
of course, how have you not heard about yuzu getting the boot? emulators for switch have been around almost since it came out.
I know what yuzu is, I’m questioning if a deck is powerful enough to run the games with reasonable performance.
yes, better specs than switch
Thanks. I wasn’t sure what kind of performance impact there would be from the emulation layer.
Yep it is.
Too many good games! Yes, the hardware is old (it was old when it launched!), but good games are good games. There's still so much fun to be had. :-)
