I’ve been having a blast with my Steam Deck this week. I got Sonic X Shadow Generations running on it at 60 fps, and I got all achievements in Cuphead on it last night. This weekend, I’ll maybe play more Shadow Generations (or Sonic Gens, depending on how I feel), or I’ll try out Nier Automata for the first time on the Deck. I have it on Switch, but I got it again on Steam to test out the Deck’s power.
On Switch, I would like to start a new game, like Xenoblade DE.
Now that I have a Steam Deck, I truly think I’ll be done with buying new systems / hardware. I can rely on the Deck for larger, AAA games, and I’ll keep my base Switch for Nintendo and indies. Plus, with how frequent and deep Steam discounts are, I’ll likely be buying my video games there from now on, with the occasional used Switch copies from local stores.
I’m on break from university for a while, so I’ll be spending my time getting back into Sea of Stars. I made it to Wraith Island. I’ll also be playing DK Country Returns HD, doing mirror mode in world 6. I’ve decided to not be serious about doing time trials for now.
In other news, I’ll be awaiting my Steam Deck OLED to come in the mail! After I set it up, I might test it out with Sonic X Shadow Generations.
“ thoughtfully adapted for a modern revival, respecting the heroines' privacy while maintaining the essence of the classic.”
Dawg, they’re fictional characters, why are they censoring scenes to do this as if they’re real people? Was initially interested, but I might just emulate the original knowing it’s now censored
Honestly, standard micro SD cards not being compatible with the Switch 2 was one of the major reasons why I decided to skip out on this console.
I don’t want to mess around with having to copy and move half a terabyte of data from my old 1 T card to a new (and pricier) card and then figure out what to do with the old one.
I don’t care about the “rich” open word aspects of Mario Kart World if that’s what justifies the $80 price tag, I just want to race and throw shells at people
I know it’s all speculative, but that is lame as heck if true. It’s just another reason why you should go all digital with this console!
At this point, I’m happy with what I have with my OG Switch. I’ll maybe grab a Steam Deck during Black Friday time to play third party games at a great framerate, but I’m going to skip this console out. Have fun, everyone!
I don’t know if I’ll be playing much this weekend, but I DID find some used copies of Xenoblade 1 DE and Xenoblade 2 yesterday, as well as a physical copy of Suikoden 1 and 2. I went and sold a bunch of stuff at my local Disc Traders store, and it came to almost $300!
Honestly, between the game prices, upgrades likely costing 20 dollars, physical games not really being physical anymore, AND normal micro SD cards being incompatible, I’m seriously considering either waiting several years to get the Switch 2 or skipping out entirely and opt for a Steam Deck instead.
Great day for the most insufferable people on the internet.
Seriously, Atlus, don’t try to fix what isn’t broken! Persona 4 Golden is on everything and aged perfectly fine, it’s Personas 1 and 2 that need remakes more!
I started Devil May Cry on the Switch last week, and played the first two missions. I like what I’ve played so far, and would like to continue this week. I’m also still going through time attack and mirror mode in DK Country Returns HD. Currently in the Forest World.
I might take advantage of some sales soon, mainly the Capcom Switch sale to get Resident Evil 4. I’ll also maybe get Trails in the Sky and Trails of Cold Steel while the Steam Spring sale is going on.
This court case is certainly going to be interesting, but I’ve completely moved on from Skullgirls at this point.
What started out as a love letter to pop culture and anime was morphed into safe, FGC friendly crap. And Marvel vs Capcom 2 is available now on modern platforms, so what’s the reason to keep playing Skullgirls other than the story?
Doing the time attack challenges and mirror mode in DK Country Returns HD. Currently in the Ruins right now. I will also play Balatro. On the Switch version, I’m trying to beat the red deck on Blue stake.
I just bought a digital copy and played through the first two worlds. It’s great! The game is just as fun as when I played it many years ago.
I will say, even though $60 is a steep price, especially for a Wii remaster, adding the button controls and exclusive levels from the 3DS version while having the 60(ish) FPS from the Wii version definitely makes this the best way to play the game as of writing.
@jake1421 Honestly, I’m thankful DK is getting anything at this point, especially this late into the Switch’s life. I’m sure they’re cooking up something new for the successor.
