Steam deck?

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I don't get how a Steam Deck is a replacement for a Switch tbh.

You buy the Switch to play Nintendo games mostly, though it's nice that you can take it with you.

You buy the Steam Deck because you can take it with you and it has a huge library - but it has no Nintendo games, so it fails to scratch that one particular itch.

but it has no Nintendo games

Natively? No, but it is pretty easy to emulate on the Deck. I have successfully run everything from Gameboy to Nintendo DS and Switch games on the Steam Deck.

Been tempted to get a steam deck at some point, just not sure how much I would use it and if it would justify the cost, having all my games already makes it infinitely more appealing than the switch though.
