@ZimmerRemmiz hardly impossible, you could download the full library and emulator to your phone and be playing within 15 minutes if you felt that way inclined...
π€£π€£ that price is insane. I have the entire wii library on my steamdeck played with original wiimotes and a dolphin bar and upscale to 1080. This is sh1te
@flighty you're right in what you're saying but tbf I should have clarified that I use the steamdeck pretty much exclusively docked for both steam games and emulation through batocera π
@skywake I've had none of the issues you listed tbf. Turn on the steamdeck, launches straight into my game library, press start on my 8bitdo controllers which connects immediately and play a game. Maybe it's a dock issue?
Think that's a fair review but there's absolutely nothing so far that makes me want a 2. It's just like all the rest, and incremental upgrade that just looks a little nicer but in this case still behind the current gen. Completely understand that nintendo no longer rely on specs but when many of the games are going to be last gen ports who really cares? A 3d mario will likely change my mind but so far very dull and very un nintendo
@larryisaman guess it depends how you want to go about it, you can readily pick up an sd card on ebay full of switch games for about Β£60, not condoning it but the plug and play option is right there of you want it
@larryisaman in theory yes they're going for different markets but I can still play all switch games on the steamdeck, normally with better performance, and since I got the sd about 18 months ago I haven't played the switch hardware since
It does seem unlikely that basically a switch pro, if all the leaks are correct, will have the same impact as the original. Hope it all turns out to be a hoax and nintendo goes in a new direction
