@thaimbomb Nintendo apologists will play nintendo games at 10fps and still call it silky smooth lol

@Bunkerneath That's what people say when they've never experienced 60fps on other systems.

I wonder if Square Enix rushes games out the door. Considering how high quality Nioh 2 and Wo long are I wonder if they rushed team ninja on getting strangers of paradise out.

@sneaky_sasquatch You might have already beaten metroid dread and want another metroid like experience.

@DTfeartheBEARD I feel that, now that I have two young kids it's hard for me to go to my basement and play my ps5 like I used to be able to. The switch is nice to have for the convenience, I bought neo twewy twice for that reason.

I could have sworn that the ps5 had gyro controls on most of the games but I'll be honest I never turn them on anyway. So I could just be flat out wrong there lol I think having both a ps5 and switch is a good combo because most of those local multiplayer indies I'll buy on my switch while the big titles I'll pick up for my playstation.

@chreddy Yeah, how dare anybody else take an existing formula and implement their own spin on it.

Self gatekeeping when it comes to gaming must be pretty boring.

@Arawn93 So showing off emulation of a game means someone pirated it? Huh, news to me.

@BANJO Don't forget that most of us "kids" were beating some pretty difficult video games when we were young. Donkey Kong Country, Mario Sunshine (was brutal in parts), and even the original super mario bros wasn't easy.

Being difficult doesn't mean the game doesn't have other things to offer to beginner players. I mean the fortnite generation is incredible at video games.

@glaemay You can with the touch pad on the deck, works pretty well actually.

@nin10doom Who's to say that people who emulate the games didn't already purchase them?

@Ventilator I have a steam deck and hopefully they improved the docking capabilities for the system (as I haven't played it since the beginning of this year). Don't count on it being a great docked solution, the menu is all over the place and performance on gamecube games tanked for me. It's a far superior product than a switch in handheld but the switch is a better docked system.

But like I said, that could have changed since 6-7 months ago because it had maybe 8 updates within the month I was on it.

@Ventilator I'll be honest it's pretty bad, and honestly sure everyone talks how the switch is such an amazing jrpg machine (cause it is). But that's because most the time they can't even run a decent action game.

Honestly if it wasn't for platinum there would be next to no action games on the platform that aren't either indie titles or ps2 Devil May Cry games. It's kind of staggering to think that for more mature gamers there's not a whole lot of mature level games.

And before anyone says, "oh blood and guts don't make a good game." When I say mature I mean a game with challenging/tense moment to moment gameplay, deep gameplay mechanics, and heavier themes. While I know there's titles like NMH3 or Astral Chain, they're so few in comparison to some generic jrpg.

@sirmrguitardude and I'm sick of my Switch games coming with graphical and performance level compromises

Cap, my shares are still down almost 16% since then.

@BeyondKnight That's a big claim with Tunic that also came out this year, looking forward to it!

@Sonos Eh dauntless was also free and was easier to get people into than monster hunter.

I like how bent out of shape some Nintendolife mods get when the comments delve into emulation, then proceed to post articles like these.

@mariomaster96 No I was the coolest looking XC protagonist in X

@SteamEngenius tbh you don't get the feedback of the buttons and if you're going to carry around a snap on controller this doesn't offer much of a difference in regards to size.

The trimui is small enough that it kind of disappears in your pocket.

Cute little device for sure. It's been a great year for retro gamers. Might just have to add it to the collection

I can't wait to get this game and change that default costume, looks like she came out of alt candy land

Powkiddy generally produces lower quality emulation devices anyway. Right now you're better off buying a miyoo mini for that price.

@moodycat Shoot I'm not complaining I'd never find out about genshin impact if Nintendo fans weren't smashing their ps4s.

@Pete41608 It's not illegal for me to dump my game onto my steam deck. Being a successful billion dollar company doesn't entitle them to police what I do with my games.

@Pete41608 playing games on the steam deck doesn't mean that you didn't already buy them on the switch. Currently playing through Link's Awakening again on the steam deck but I have it on the switch.

If nintendo wants to remove the incentive to pirate their games, it might be worth looking into stronger hardware. Currently the best place to play switch games is on PC

@Axelay71 Valve's official storefront

@Axelay71 why would you even look at an eBay listing? Lol

@Axelay71 yeah it's really up to preference. I'd rather have a steam deck for my third party games and all the GameCube games that Nintendo likes to ignore.

Nintendo hasn't put out a large scale game in a very long time. Nintendo is more of a smash and local multiplayer system for me than anything else.

@Axelay71 It's only 50 dollars more than a switch.

@StarPoint Guess I'm picking it up on the steam deck then lol

Pretty excited, still waiting on a nintendo collab tho

I'm really excited for this considering my ayn odin can't invert aim settings this will be great to have portably. It's a gacha game, and sure it's kind of frustrating if you can't get a character that you want. However, the core gameplay is great and the team customization is wonderful. Looking forward to having a dedicated switch version here soon.

@TheRealMr_Carpainter didn't he lead starfox zero?

What games has he worked on lately that actually turned out well? Sounds like moving into a new venture like movies was a good call for him.

Man I was hoping for a new boss or something, but having more ways to play this incredible gem is great!

That wave shot will be busted against the second boss lol

Great line up of indie games, might pick up loop hero

I love the product but for what it offers (at the price) compared to the alternatives. I really don't see a market for this.

@johnvboy I don't have any moral obligation to multi-billion dollar company

@CharlieGirl I feel that. So many 2D indie games that it's hard for me to justify buying more.

@MagnesG Day one. I actually took the day off of work to play BOTW, but unfortunately had a proctored exam that same day lol

I remember the launch games and picked up Shovel knight and fast RMX as well, since fast racing neo was a great wii u game.

@johnvboy I don't need to carry two consoles if the steam deck runs both steam os and switch do I?

Also it's not a justification. I'm just telling you what I'm going to do if Nintendo wants to give me underpowered systems. And you can just kind of deal with it 😉

Nintendo fans always told me if I wanted better graphics buy a PC. Hence I did so I don't see the problem doing what I want with my PC and my switch games lol
