PLEASE give the Steam Deck a try if you haven’t yet and are thinking about a Switch 2.
I have bought every Nintendo handhold since the gameboy colour up to the switch, but now that I have a steam deck I don’t have a single drop of desire for the switch 2.
The deck feels incredibly liberating, especially since you are not paying $90 for games that aren’t even as fun as indies
(Also the emulators fucking slap on steam deck, Switch 1 games and below run great)
100% this.
I wish there were a handheld competitor to the Switch Lite though. I don't need anything powerful, I want a small screen for my small hands and can fit in my pocket. As much as I like my Steam Deck, it's way too big and heavy for that use case.
With a Switch or Switch Lite, it's still somehow light enough to use while standing on a train but with a Steam Deck, that's just not feasible.
Only the Chinese emulation handhelds have such form factors now, too bad there are no games made specifically for such devices, so you just have old games and phone games
You're referring to the Android based ones right? I'm looking for a Windows or SteamOS based one for my Steam library.
That's in "3d print your own because the market (outside of China) won't manufacture and support such a niche unit" territory.
(Or the "just use your damn phone" which would probably be said by some tone deaf ppl)
