Yeah, no. It is not the only place to play Mario. There’s emulation and Piracy. I’m quite certain skilled people will try to hack the Switch 2 and sooner or later there will be a Switch 2 emulation (although might take a while). €80-90 euro for one single game is nuts.
The only reason I would purchase a Switch 2 is when it is capable of being hacked.
I don’t see the problem with having both- they fill different niches.
Money. Steam Deck OLED costs in my country €700, Switch OLED €350-360 and the Switch 2 will be around the €560-600.
steam deck, I’d be really sad to not have any Mario kart, Zelda, etc…
I’m so close on purchasing a Steam Deck OLED to game in weekends or in bed after full 5 days behind a desk job. But I’m always worried that these games won’t work well with emulations. I’ve been researching like crazy but keep reading different things.
And spending €700 with uncertainty is not my favorite thing to do.
As I’m uncertain how strict this instance is regarding sailing high seas, I’ll just mention that 95% of my games are through sailing the seas including emulating.
I’d recommend a Steam Deck
Alright! I will message you on Matrix but if it is okay, it’ll be on Saturday or Sunday due to work.
Always love reading your posts!
You seem to emulate a lot on Steam Deck (right?). May I ask how smooth the emulation of Switch games goes?
I have been heavily debating between Switch OLED and the Steam Deck (and then emulate Switch games). But keep hearing different things about how smooth things run.
Steam deck going to cost €700 while Switch €550 (switch + get someone to mod it).
Also; I assumed that BlueSky can see posts from Mastodon but unfortunately can’t find you through BlueSky.
Thanks for the response!
You are right that the Steam Deck is hard to beat due to availability of games, platform and emulation (though considering the instance I’m in, I’ll acquire games a different way).
I’m uncertain due to the fact there’s a lot of uncertainty about the emulation of the Switch 2 games.
Tried getting the original switch but, I’m a sucker for OLED screen (if I can afford it, I want it hah).
Saving this post to read in the evening! (Working atm). Do you do this every week/ month?
I wonder whether it’s worth to get the Steam Deck (PC games + Emulation). However also debating about the Switch 1 (or 2). Just don’t know how to do the mod-chip (and if it will be available on the 2).
I’m planning to watch this one, got told it’s quite good.
The moment this becomes an obligation for each person, no matter what, I’ll just quit Discord. I’m tired of stuff like this.
If people want to do bad stuff, they will find a way no matter what anyway.
