It’s frustrating how often people need to be reminded of this. Nintendo has repeatedly shown incredible hostility to their greatest fans over the years, and they show no signs of stopping.
They’ve also done immeasurable harm to game preservation, to their own library and others. I cannot ever forgive them for this. Unless you play games in whatever specific way is blessed at the time, they will make every effort to sabotage it. Please do not enable this behavior.
I really want to grab one of the new handhelds, seem so nice, I feel guilty almost playing games on my pc, when I could be using it for other stuff, playing on consoles fine so it might be time to transition to a linux handheld for the ocassional pc games.
(Like it could be rendering for my other hobby with 3d, instead of the gpu going to games)
I’m going to buy a switch two, which they usually sell the hardware for close to cost. Then I’m gonna leave it in the box and wait until a mod chip comes out that lets me play every game for free.
Just get an emulator on PC / Steam Deck. The most likely reason Nintendo went so hard on Switch emulators last year is because they will be able to emulate Switch 2 games with little tweaking (probably just new keys / BIOS). They’ve confirmed it’s backwards compatible with Switch games, which strongly supports this hypothesis.
Fuck Nintendo. Vote with your wallets and don’t buy a Switch 2, get a Steam Deck or other similar portable gaming handheld.
Switch 2?

Steam deck 2 is just around the corner
Pure speculation
I hear it’s launching with HL3.
and bot detection for TF2
Forget that, it’ll have TF3.
Deck 2 probably won’t come out before the next generation of chips at least
Damnit… And I just got a steam deck on Monday.
(You’re good, steam deck 2 soon is very unlikely)
What ?! Already a power boost / gen-gap to fill?
No. They have no proof. We know Valve’s working on something but they always are and nobody knows what it is
I think they are just baking a cake. Delicious moist cake.

I hope so, I don’t even really need much more power, but I’ll be a day one buyer to support the platform.
I’ll hand the steamdeck 1 down to my wife for stardew, if she wants it.

Well said, I agree 100%

It’s cheap becuaus it’s as powerful as an old phone.

I don’t like the weight of the steam deck. I like the form factor of the switch. I also like doing hardware mods. It’s fun to do.

Are you saying the Switch “1” was not hacked?
