As is shitting up a Switch 2 thread with Steam Deck recommendations, TBH.

Then you did you quote me in the first place? I just voiced opinion that I rather have Switch 2 and you quoted me and I gave you my reason why I rather have Switch 2.

Good that I didn't do that and I agree.
Because looked like you meant that people that like Nintendo games can't play them on Deck.

I simply said I (me) rather have Switch 2.

Oh no, did someone mention they like Nintendo games and didn't mention lord and saviour Steamdeck? It looked like he forgot you can emulate? How dare he!
OMFG get over yourself. What

OP can like Nintendo games and play them on a Deck too. What you quoted was not for you. Are you lost in the thread??

Of course its one sided
Nobody gives a shit about Steamdeck in the grand scheme of things. Its hobbyist hardware, the equivalent of "there's dozens of us" meme. They can't let a single Switch thread go by without coming in to derail the thread.
They're as annoying as Vegans + OLED owners combined, they have to fucking mention Steamdeck every time they can.

What's even dumber is that a) the Deck has a great library of games that stands on its own b) Switch emulation on Deck is at best* on par with OG hardware because emulation is expensive and c) it is irrelevant for S2 where there is no emulator and if there is one someday it won't run on SD.Like clockwork, you make a thread about Switch 2 and the steamdeck ghouls come out
They can't help themselves.
Have you heard about the lord and saviour Steam deck?

It's platform warring in its most childish and irrelevant state.
*only exception I can think of is Pokémon Scarlet but it's patched for S2 now.

Nobody in their right mind buys a Nintendo game legitimately (physical or digital), then goes through the hassle of modding their Switch, risking a ban, dumping ROMs, transferring them to a Deck, and setting up emulators, just to play on what is considered an inferior platform for Nintendo Switch games.
Emulator guys try to sell that entire pipeline in one sentence
It's pure fantasy

I mean. I like the Steam Deck. I bought a 1TB OG when they first came out. And I'm looking at the Steam Machine depending on price (I generally love Valve hardware, especially their controllers). It's just the aggressive street evangelism that I don't get.

I have both and would not recommend one over the other.

Serious answer, play your backlog since I heard that lot of the games on Switch 1 runs better on Switch 2

Personally, I prefer to follow the law and play the games legally on the only authorized hardware.

Seriously. OP gets a gift and asks for suggestions, then gets a ton of unwarranted console war shitposting in the thread. Bunch of grinches.

If you use the JSAUX or Killswitch grips then get the one for the Steam Deck.

I prefer to follow the law too but don't care about authorized or not hardware.

I've been playing the Zelda upgrades. The Switch online app has been helpful for Zelda Notes.

Nintendo didn't use to be so greedy, did you know about the Player's choice label that existed until the Wii U for example ?
I do know that Nintendo nearly never do sales but this position is more obvious and ridiculous when you go to the eshop and see 1-2 Switch at 50€ and Hogwarts at 10€...

It has more current-gen ports than last-gen ones
Like Yakuza Zero (and with the added content it's kind of a remaster/deluxe version) and Kiwami 2 are last-gen ports, but nothing really else.

OP, this heavily depends if you have Switch 1.
First or, get dbrand or jsaux type case/grip. Switch vanilla is pretty uncomfortable. And get a MicroSD Express card. 256GB is probably ok to start as they are pretty pricey.
Then look up games that got graphics upgrades and that you already either have or can buy on sale. And don't have on other platforms.
Mario Odyssey, couple other Mario games, Kirby, Zelda games, Pokémon Scarlet, etc…. DQ3 is supposed to have a great S2 mode and so does Romancing Saga 2 Remake.
Then you got Western games like Cyberpunk, Hogwarts, Outlaws, and even Skyrim (with caveats on this) and Witcher that run better on the system or are actual decent ports.
it really all depends on the genre you like, what other systems you have and if you have Switch 1.
Also, Nintendo games absolutely go on sale, it's just more rare. You can get Odyssey for like $40 as an example.
Check out eShop for some good deals as well.

I mean this is clearly false. They go on sale just less often and with smaller discounts.
There is also a used market and I bet key cards could be had for even cheaper down the road.

I'm just pissed at eshop. I can't forgive them for putting a game on sale and then only putting it on sale again only 5 fucking years later.

That isn't true. Several are currently 25-33% off which isn't too uncommon. My favorite strategy is save some money for Costco black friday deal of 20% off eshop cards (often other times you can get 10% off), invest a big chunk there, then catch one of these sales. The combined discount is a decent value. Used to work with the vouchers but they seem to have stopped the voucher program.

That's what physical is for, but yeah, Nintendo sales can be random indeed.

Nintendo's success (or thought of) seems to threaten/trigger a lot of people here. You get used to it.

Fast Fusion seems like a solid get. It's on my shortlist of games to pick up when I eventually get my own Switch².
