Yep. Anything the switch can do, the steamdeck can do (probably better).
Can you emulate switch games on a Deck?
Pretty funny, thanks for the laugh
of course, how have you not heard about yuzu getting the boot? emulators for switch have been around almost since it came out.
I know what yuzu is, I’m questioning if a deck is powerful enough to run the games with reasonable performance.
Yep it is.
yes, better specs than switch
Thanks. I wasn’t sure what kind of performance impact there would be from the emulation layer.
Zelda isn’t available on the Steam deck.
Edit: at least not legally, and without jumping through hoops.
Nope, I keep coming back. New Zelda is great. My kids are really into it too right now!
Like stopped using it? No I still do. Looking forward to its successor though.
Me, I sold it to my friend and bought a steam deck
The switch walked so the deck could run.
The steam deck runs switch games better anyways I’m told?
Eeeeehhh does a “more or less” gesture with a hand
I tested for a bit. Some games yeah. Others not really. The Zeldas are about the only things from the Switch that I really miss and whether you use Suyu or RyujiNX, Tears of the Kingdom runs like shit. Like pretty much unplayable.
Gonna give it a shot when Prime 4 drops though.
On emulators you mean?
I haven’t turned my Switch on in over a year.
Nope, I still love to play it in bed (I’ve never played it docked since it was the handheld aspect that drew me) and just relax
Too many good games! Yes, the hardware is old (it was old when it launched!), but good games are good games. There’s still so much fun to be had. :-)
Actually, my SteamDeck broke so I’ve been back to using my Switch a lot more! I picked up Yooka-Laylee on sale and have been really enjoying it!
Hell, if the price is right and my digital purchases all carry-over, I might even consider buying Switch 2, it’s been a great little system.
Left as in stopped using it? I barely touch mine since I got the Stream Deck.
I wish I had a Steam Deck too, I hear the refurbished one costs about $200.
It’s the only console we have, so I don’t think we’re going to leave it currently. I like playing Balatro still, and need to finish Tears of the Kingdom.
Honestly the Steam Deck has made me realise just his much missed potential and poor design decisions the Switch had. Not to mention Nintendo being a scummy company…
So yeah, my Steam Deck has basically replaced the Switch for me.
I barely used it to begin with. Mostly had it for first party exclusives and portability, but once emulation got to the point where it delivered a superior experience the Switch became a dust collector.
The fact that I barely used the Switch made me hold off on getting a SteamDeck for a long time. Now that I have one, my high end gaming PC is the thing collecting dust and the Switch feels like a cheap toy.
After my joycon drift got too bad I just never replaced them and stopped playing. ACNL is better than New Horizons anyway
I looked around the house but couldn’t find it. You sure it’s not in your backpack OP?
I rotate between switch, ps5, and PC regularly (not to mention older systems). But there have definitely been games where I avoided them on switch because i knew they’d run like ass.
