I just bought Mario RPG at a whopping CAD$90 and it’s got pretty bad slowdown. I only ever play my Switch undocked and performance is decent but not spectacular. Everything is also so aliased and jagged. I kinda feel ripped off after buying a full price Switch game.
It made me reconsider my stance on emulation because the Deck can probably run it better. I’ve never been into emulating because I like the ritual of changing discs/cartridges (kind of why playing vinyl is special to me, it ritualizes music and makes it a “thing” instead of something in the background).
But I have a Switch and 20 some odd games that I could probably sell and buy two new Decks with the proceeds.
To those who emulate Switch on Deck, what’s your experience like?
even though i dont play my switch nearly as enough, theres something about a nintendo that makes me feel nostalgic for physical games and putting that into the switch and playing. the ergonomics are terrible in handheld but i still like it. pop in a game and it just works no tinkering no fiddling with settings. sometimes im in one of those moods.
