minus-square@just_another_personlinkEnglish14•edit-21 month agoYeah, I don’t see a Nintendo device dethroning Deck anytime soon, especially when they serve the same purpose.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish9•1 month agoNormally I would be excited for a new Nintendo console, but my only thought was. “Do I really want 2 handheld consoles?” I’m not excited for it at all and just want to use my steamdeck. This will be the first time I don’t get a Nintendo console right away. I may even skip it all together as Nintendo has been assholes lately. They will need a really killer set of games for me to change my mind about it.
minus-square@just_another_personlinkEnglish5•1 month agoWell really, the question is “What does this handheld console actually play?” Deck: anything you want within hardware reason Switch: Nintendo roms (they apparently don’t even ship hardware carts now I guess?)
minus-square@hellofriendlinkEnglish4•1 month agoHuh? Go to any Walmart and you’ll see loads of physical copies. Switch 2 is even confirmed to use them.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•1 month agoI guess I would consider a switch 2 after they have a few great first party games. Mario Kart 3d Mario 2d Mario big Zelda game Pokémon game that isn’t terrible and overly easy. 3d Metroid 2d Metroid I would need a decent number of these items to be on the system before I considered it.
