Nintendo is still justifying my choice to never give another penny to Nintendo.
Same. I loved the Switch. My next gaming console will be the Steam Deck. Fuck Nintendo, it's over.
You can play Switch games on Steam Deck! At least I do. Some play even better than on Switch.
Unfortunately not Starlink: Battle for Atlas, which was one of the games I was hoping would have improved support implemented before Nintendo took down Yuzu and Ryujinx. There's the Steam version, but being able to play as Fox makes it feel like the Star Fox game that the Switch is missing.
While I originally did get the game on my Switch, I'd much rather play it with the rest of my games on the Steam Deck.
I've owned every Nintendo console. It used to be that Nintendo = cheaper console, often cheaper base games compared to of the rest of the industry. Wii remained $50 after the other guys had moved to $60 and the Switch stayed at $60 after they moved to $70 (aside from their dirty little trick of TotK). Now their console is almost as expensive as a PS5 and they're leapfrogging even the $70 standard to price their top-tier games at $80? Sheer greed and hubris. Maybe there are enough rabid Nintendo fans to support their pricing, but I won't be one of them.
Steam Deck is a handheld PC not a console. Also it runs a lot of Switch games better than Switch itself.
It's a console and a PC in one package! Or you feel like the other consoles don't have an operating system in them?
Well, your phone has OS as well, does it count as a console? Also you can't run PC software on a console, can you?
Nope, it doesn't have a controller built-in and its main purpose isn't gaming. You can't run PS games on a Switch, does that somehow magically make either not a console?
The Steam Deck was designed from the ground up to give a console-like experience. The only real difference is it's not a closed system, so you can use it as a PC as well if you want.
Consoles are wannabe PCs.
It's a handheld PC with a very console-like OS.
