I like Nintendo games but your idea of Steam Deck playing Nintendo game is emulation which I dont care for that.

Also form I can understand you only emulate old Nintendo games, I dont think you emulated games like Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave day one.

What you care is irrelevant.

 

[Zannegan]

What you care is irrelevant.

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

 

[Danjin44]

What you care is irrelevant.

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.

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.

Because looked like you meant that people that like Nintendo games can't play them on Deck.

 

[Danjin44]

Good this I didn't do that and I agree.

I think you are the one who needs to read....

I rather have Switch 2 since I like Nintendo games.

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

 

[Buggy Loop]

Because looked like you meant that people that like Nintendo games can't play them on Deck.

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 Danjin44 wrote is easily understood by everyone.

 

[rodrigolfp]

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??

 

[Buggy Loop]

Do we get these same warring comments in the "I just bought a Steam Deck!" threads, or is the insecurity one-sided?

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.

 

[Chukhopops]

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 hAs nInteNdO gAmeS toO /wink wink. nOt piRacY oF cOurSe whO wOuLD EvER dO suCh a ThIng

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.

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.

 

[HRK69]

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.

 

[rodrigolfp]

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

 

[Calverz]

Now you go on neogaf and talk about your experience.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Send it to me as a Christmas Gift

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

 

[TKOFromTokyo]

What you care is irrelevant.

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

 

[ReBurn]

Imagine console-warring on christmas eve. Hope you dudes get a ton of coal this year.

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

 

[Ulysses 31]

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.

 

[TKOFromTokyo]

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

 

[Madjaba]

Is this your first Nintendo console?

Nintendo games NEVER go on sale. There's no point in waiting for one.

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€...

 

[Baemono]

Play switch 1 games on it or last gen ports at full prize enjoy the ride.

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.

 

[AJUMP23]

Play some games.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

My condolences, OP.

 

[FalconPunch]

It's really not as bad as what people are making it out to be. the VRR on this thing is legit good.

I've purchased and returned it twice. That's how i know it's undercooked.

 

[StereoVsn]

I just got early Xmas gifted a Switch 2. This screen is way doper than I was expecting.
Downloading Mario Kart.
What else do I need to do?
Fast Fusion and Bonanza???

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.

 

[Magister]

Now you sell a kidney to buy all Nintendo games at full price.

True. They never go on sale.

 

[StereoVsn]

True. They never go on sale.

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.

 

[Dice]

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.

 

[Quasicat]

Go back through your Switch 1 collection and replay those. They will run a lot better!

 

[SomeNorseGuy]

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

Just picked it up on sale! Will be one of my Christmas day plays

Copped a kill switch bundle…

Reading Comprehension folx.
I didn't buy it. Someone bought it for me.
Thank you all for the serious posts. Some great recommendations in here.

Another Code Recollection (from cing, same dev as hotel dusk), if you didn't already play it.

I picked up the Switch 2 versions of Cyberpunk 2077 and No Man's Sky in the holiday sale and I've been enjoying both. I know they're older games but I'm enjoying the new play through in handheld mode. Tetris Effect Connected is a Switch 1 game, but it's good on Switch 2 as well.

 

[Chittagong]

I have been trying to open enough apps to push the disappointing Switch 2 games off the start screen.

Seeing the Donkey Kong Bananza icon pisses me off because I wasted 30h into it, and the Metroid Prime 4, Mario Kart World and Kirby Air Riders icons piss me off because I wasted money into them and now have them eternally in my uncleared backlog.

 

[RPS37]

Random thought but the screen is really gigantic compared to the original switch. I fux w it.

Also I'm rediscovering the joy of DEMOS.
Got Sonic Racing, Elliot and Kirby Forgotten Land. Anything else dope? I thought there was a demo for that Cing game??

Let me guess, they're all shit?

 

[Chittagong]

Let me guess, they're all shit?

Not like shit shit, but more like disappointing and boring compared to my (possibly over inflated) expectations. Nothing like the highs of Odyssey, BotW, Splatoon 2 and Xenoblade 2 of Switch launch

 

[RPS37]

Kirby and the Forgotten Land… *chef's kiss*

 

[RPS37]

Hate how expensive the games are, but Hogwarts is 9 bucks right now. Was tempting. Found the Portal games for 5 bucks. That's worth a replay on handheld.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Mario Rabbids Sparks Of Hope is also on sale for cheap. I picked up the complete edition.

It's the Switch 1 version, but you can upgrade it for 10 bucks to the Switch 2 version

Or can buy directly the Switch 2 version for 30 bucks

 

[Baemono]

you can try the FF7 Remake demo if you haven't played it
