Dragonstar

Downloaded the ROMs to play on my Steam Deck... so I "got" them yes, but did I give Nintendo any money for these? Nope.

an amazing game, just be ready for quite the challenge. And the final boss... let's just say I beat everything, then actually gave up on the final boss, even on easy mode. First souls like game I just gave up on at the end.

Oh No! You mean we might miss out on another mediocre at best Mario & Luigi game?! Whatever will we do?! Oh wait, Nintendo still owns Mario and Luigi and can get any developer to make another title in the series... and hopefully will be better than Brothership....

I've been playing it for the last week and I would most definitely NOT agree with 9/10, nor the 5/10 IGN gave it. It's not even close to the quality of some of the prior Mario & Luigi games. This game is a solid 7 I would say.

@RupeeClock I'm playing Brothership on my Steamdeck now using Ryujinx. Works pretty good, a few stutters during cutscenes is only issue I had.

F this company, they ruined a man's life over a little bit of 3DS piracy, take down countless fan projects, over simple pettiness. I will happily continue to pirate everything they make.

Already playing a "demo" of it on my Steam Deck. Not crazy about playing as just Zelda, but aside from that it's pretty good so far.

I'll play it on my Steam Deck sure..... "getting" the game, as in buying it? No.

Already got Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD on my Steam Deck through CEMU, at this point if it's not Mario Odyssey 2, Breath of the Wild 2 or Hollow Knight Silksong, I"m really not interested.

Already got the follow up, Steam Deck is everything I could want from a portable machine. I've literally put thousands of hours into my Switch over the years, haven't played it once since I got my Steam Deck back in April. No hurry Nintendo as far as I"m concerned now.

As a proud owner of a Steam Deck, that has loaded it up with many emulators and such, this is great news to see. I have no interest in Xenoblade Chronicles or I might check it out. I've retired my Switch. I'm playing games portably now such as God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Metal Gear Solid 5, Final Fantasy VII Remake, etc. Nintendo will NEVER get triple A titles like these on their platforms, but now I get the best of both worlds on one portable system. Love the Steam Deck.

@steventonysmith clearly you have ZERO idea how big LinusTechTips is as a channel. What they have done is perfectly legal, and it would stand up to every single precedent set so far. why do you white knight for Nintendo so much man? They are a greedy company who deserves to be crapped on with their disgusting business practices.

Just showing me more now than ever, that this is another kids console. I was excited in the earlier years, but now, there's literally nothing I'm interested in any of these directs. Glad I finally got a Steam Deck to play now instead I guess.

What's wrong with Charles Martinet? He's the voice of Mario we all know, period. It's going to be soo weird to hear Mario voiced by anyone else.

I've already moved on, got my Steam Deck about 6-8 weeks ago, haven't touched my Switch since. And I used to play that thing every single day, minimum 3-5 hours a day. Easily put in thousands of hours on my Switch. Enter the Gungeon alone has a play time of over 900 hours for me. But the sheer amount of games available to me now that aren't on the Switch is enormous. Already played and finished Horizon Zero Dawn, Metal Gear Solid 5 and now Sekiro and Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order. It's amazing to play these high quality triple A games portably (and it's soo much more comfortable than the Switch as well for me).

Get used to it, this is the future. Most big gaming companies will embrace it eventually, no matter how much you fight it. There's just too much money to be made with it.

Already retired my Switch for my Steam Deck. Haven't touched my Switch once since I got my Deck about a month ago. Absolutely ZERO comparison between the two now-a-days. I can play all the new AAA games that the Switch can't handle (which means pretty much all of them). The indie game library dwarfs the Switch, The emulation... oh sweet lord almighty the emulation the Steam Deck can do. Playing even Wii U games on this system is flawless. Windwaker HD, Twilight Princess HD, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Mario Kart 8, got em all on my Deck now. Finished Horizon Zero Dawn already 100% on the Deck, now finally getting around to Batman Arkham Knight. God of War, Elden Ring, the list goes on. Can also use it like a PC, I can go into Desktop mode, install mods, browse the internet, and yes... even pirating games is a piece of cake on this thing.

Meh, dont' care anymore. Now that I got my Steam Deck, Cemu runs flawlessly on it, hence I can now play Windwaker and Twilight Princess HD on my new handheld. Waited too long Nintendo.

No need anymore for me, loaded up Cemu on my Steam Deck and both HD versions of the games play flawlessly.

Got my Steam Deck this week, loaded up Cemu, and now I"m playing Wind Waker HD portably. Nintendo took too long.

I'd prefer it on Steam Deck, the majority of games I want to play on Game Pass wouldn't play on the Switch due to it's technical inferiority.

That demo showed me exactly what the game is... not interested in the slightest.

@CharlieGirl most of us don't care about how they treat their employees, sad but true.

replaced joy-con sticks on both sides easily 6-7 times each. When playing handheld (which is 100% of the time) the right joy-con, even when physically attached, keeps losing connection in the middle of playing. I CAN NOT WAIT for my Steam Deck to get here so I can retire this thing. I've refused to buy any game for this system since December of 2020 because of all the problems. I find others ways to play games on it now.

trust me.. they ain't "gone forever" there will ALWAYS be ways to find them through alternative means.

@DeclanS98 you are aware that the people who pirate games (myself included), the VAST majority would NEVER pay for games to begin with right? He didn't rob any money from Nintendo, the people who used the tech he supplied, wouldn't be buying games anyways.

Can't wait for them to get Yuzu (Nintendo Switch emulator) running on this thing. Lol, FU Nintendo basically once I get this.

Can't wait to put it on my Steam Deck, then load it with ROMS. Also, having Retroarch on the Steam Deck is going to be amazing as well. Not much longer!

I don't care how big it is, I just want to replace my Switch. I'm tired of all the problems I've had with this system, from the never-ending joy-con drift, regardless of how many fixes I do, to the controllers constantly losing connection mid-game, even when physically attached. Also tired of how many triple A games the Switch doesn't get. I want to retire my Switch as my portable system.

Why can't people here understand, that no one is forcing you to buy these things? There is NOTHING wrong with a company putting things up for sale, and letting people decide for themselves if they want to buy it or not. Companies have a responsibility to their shareholders to make their company as profitable as they can. Choice is a real thing you entitled millennials. Just because YOU don't like something, it doesn't mean it shouldn't be offered for sale to others.

@Dilly-Mick who is it hurting? And how the heck is offering NFT's
hurting the planet? LOL. It's no different than offering in-game micro-transactions.

If you don't like NFT's, then don't buy them. Other than that, let people try to become successful/make money in this world and STFU. I've never once paid for any micro-transaction, in-game skin, you name it. No interest in that garbage whatsoever, but I don't go out of my way to try to stop others from offering it. Everyone wants to make money, to support themselves, their families, whatever. Stop being petty and trying to block a way for others to do so.

NFT's are coming, regardless of how mad you are about it. The possible money that could come from NFT's to companies will outweigh any outrage from a certain group of fans. At the end of the day, most of these companies are publicly traded, and they have a responsibility to their shareholders to make as much money as they can. NFT's are the future of triple A games, it's coming, guaranteed. Get used to it.

Stop relying on China to build everything electronics related, if the last couple years hasn't shown people already, the CCP aren't to be trusted. The sooner the world gets alternatives to electronics manufacturing, the better we'll all be.

Good for them, if the demand is there, and the supply isn't, take advantage of people who are willing to pay for it. It's the world we live in, learn to accept it. In a perfect world, the manufacturer would just increase supply to sell it directly to the customers to make the money themselves, but for many reasons they can't. Scalping sucks, but it's the way things go.

The Eshop is still by far the WORST online storefront I can think of. The fact that in 2021, almost 2022 it's so far behind the industry standards out there is embarrassing. It's ridiculously slow, no reviews, no recommendations, the genres need far more selection. I could go on and on. Get better Nintendo, you make record profits, you're worth billions of dollars. This is what they come up with?

For anyone who hasn't tried Deku Deals, it's an absolute godsend for using the Eshop. You can make lists to track, lists of games you own, it has links to metacritic, how long to finish, you name it. It's an amazing site.

Nothing about those systems says "must have" to me, in any way. It's kinda cool I guess? But trust me, as you get older, the things you thought were "must have" end up being a complete waste of money.

Flinthook is an amazing rogue game if you stick with the initial difficulty and learn it. It took me a few pick up and tries, fail constantly, get frustrated, give up, then try again a week later. But once I got into it, I absolutely loved it.

It's an excellent game, but not worth the full $80 (CAD). When I compare it to a game like Hollow Knight, which costs under $15, I got well over 80 hours of playtime in that game doing all the extra boss fights. Hollow Knight is the gold standard now of how I compare games for value, and most don't hold up. Especially not this one. I'm glad I'm able to get my money back for Metroid Dread. Not worth the full price.

It's more of a statement of how horrible the Eshop is for discovering games than anything... Nintendo is always about a decade or more behind when it comes to anything online.

3D All Stars is still available at the Walmart by me, physical versions. I've seen them in stock there ever since they supposedly "discontinued" them. Anyone else notice this?

The Joy-con is the reason I stopped buying all games for the Switch as of last December. I'm so sick of the constant problems I have with them. The joy-con drift is a constant thing, regardless of w/e fix a person does, it always comes back. Even with brand new sticks, paper trick, take the sticks apart completely to clean contacts, 4-6 months later they start drifting, fix, repeat. But drift aside, the constant disconnection problems, even in handheld mode, when the joy-cons are physically attached, is beyond aggravating. I DESPISE the joy-cons. FU Nintendo for designing these things like this. I can't wait to replace the Switch with the Steam Deck as my portable system this December/January.

I'll wait for my Steam Deck for portable versions. I've already stopped buying almost all games for the Switch in anticipation of the Steam Deck replacing it as my portable system. All the KH games are on PC now

RetroArch is available through Steam, once I get the SteamDeck, the entire library of ALL of these systems and then some, will be available for free. I'll wait until then.

Got them for free through the Epic Games store a while back, I'll wait and play them on my Steam Deck when I get it. I'm dramatically winding down my Switch game purchases in preparation for the Steam Deck.

No worries, I'll just put it on my Steam Deck. Far superior system anyways. My Switch will be almost retired in less than 6 months after I get mine.
