Why not?

Let’s be objective here, can you really see the Steam Deck emulating the Cyberpunk 2077 game of the Switch 2? I know there is not a reason to do this, but these kinds of achievements are what I mean with “perfect emulation”.

But tbf, the deck is relatively old by now and could itself benefit from an upgrade

I have no doubts that a Steam Deck 2 will emulate Switch 2 games… But everyone keeps telling me this won’t happen soon enough…

As far as emulation, we at least know Nintendo considered it worth the effort to try to take down all Switch 1 emulators before even revealing fhe Switch 2, probably suggesting it’s not going to be hard to emulate.

That is one opinion, my personal one is that they just did it because they can still benefit from the sales of the Switch 1 games as the console is retrocompatible, so of course they would want you to pay for them instead of emulating them… Think of it as when they were actively blocking flashcarts that launched games for the DS in the 3DS.

It’ll probably be limited mostly to 2D titles, simple 3D ones, or maybe some hyper-polished first party titles

Perhaps, but what we know as of now is that Metroid Prime 4 was announced to run at 4K 60 FPS/1080p 60 FPS which I think the current Steam Deck will not be able to achieve (it doesn’t even have such resolutions), perhaps 720p 120 FPS is doable, but if it can’t perfectly emulate the Switch 2 then I don’t see it as a viable Switch 2 replacement.

Well, PC ain’t a handheld, unless you add streaming (local or externally) or a dedicated machine like the Steam Deck to the equation, that would definitely be something about the 450 bucks Nintey asks.

Do you really think the Steam Deck will have the horsepower to emulate Switch 2? I’d love too, but even Switch 1 is not in perfect level yet (like PPSSPP perfect like).

People bought a Wii so they could play a motion control game with Grandma once or twice

I’d give up everything just to do this…

I mean… I will be able to get a Nintendo Switch 2 eventually… Regarding the Steam Deck, I can’t buy it officially in Mexico yet… Come on Valve, we are literally neighbors of the USA lol.

I want my Metroid Prime Hunters online (I still hop there with Wiimmfi)… Not everything must be Splatoon :/

I swear people (not you) comments just because lol.

We get it boys, Nintendo doesn’t do anything right.

Do you think that? I just think their approach is not getting inventive with games that are better suited for mouse gaming, because I can tell playing those games with traditional controllers seems like a chore.

This is bothering me too… But there is a huge perk of being an early adopter though… 🏴‍☠️

…

I’d suggest finding out and being an early adopter.

You know it will not… The best I hope is that MK doesn’t sell too well separately thus forcing a discount.

I think I would wait for a Steam Deck 2 just for the sake of future proof.

It is not.

Any paid open source software you’d consider to pay?

I am a Spotify paid user (I paid with my gf the duo tier or whatever is called, she has an iOS device so she kinda needs it, I could live without it I guess), would I benefit from Spotify Revanced or xManager clients?

Something like having neat features with Smart Tube or YT Revanced with a YT premium subscription?
