I own a Nintendo, and I haven't used it in years. I bought some games which were ridiculously priced compared to what I was used to on steam. I'm rather annoyed they keep their games console exclusive for this reason, they have like a monopoly of a market they control, it feels.
I was gonna get some more games to put on it, but with then shutting down these emulators, I think I'll use one of those instead. Fuck Nintendo.
Yeah I haven't used my switch in a long time. I think I might have power surged it, but I don't really care enough to even double check.
I have a switch emulator on my external HD along with a bunch of other emulators. When I get my next PC I'll just play whatever switch games I want on that.
Even having a switch, I still prefer to dump the games and play them on steamdeck. That way, I can just bring one device for gaming.
Even is emulation is not perfect on the steamdeck, I’m still happy to play at lower performance or with some graphical glitches for the convenience.
I have a bunch of emus. Does the deck let you put them in your library as a non steam game and play them? That's how I have them setup on my PC.
Yes. There are a couple different ways to do that.
Ok cool. That's one of my main concerns with it.
Just hack it
It's supported by LineageOS lol. You could repurpose it as a tablet to stream steam games.
No need to install Android for that, there is a native Moonlight port for the switch. Will get you better performance and battery life than trying to do the same thing with Android

Oh I didn't realize that'd be an option. Where shall I start?
