    Up until the 360 era, I used to play on everything. Then it became Nintendo + Xbox. Now it’s Nintendo plus pc. But I’m pretty close to moving on from the switch and getting a steam deck. Then i guess it’s just pc.

      I was always a Nintendo/PC gamer. I made the move the week my Steam Deck shipped (Q3er). I hacked my launch switch and dumped all my my switch games that I didn’t own but were available on PC (for example, DOOM 2016 was skipped but Daemon X Machina was not). I have those dumped games backed up on my computer, but I just have them all on an SD card for the Steam Deck!

      Mostly everything I’ve tried has run pretty much perfectly. A while ago Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 had some pretty major texture issues but within the last few months there were some major strides for switch emulation and that seems to have effectively solved a majority of the issues I had run into with the games.

      I’m now most of the way through MUA3 on the Steam Deck :) I’ve also got the trilogy all one one console :) format shifting, library consolidation, that’s what the Steam Deck is all about!

      I used the hacked switch for a little while, there are some interesting things it can accomplish but it hasn’t been used at all since then. Even before the Steam Deck I had just hardly been using it, and now having the ability to make any control scheme I want make it the easy choice every time.

      The Steam Deck is incredible but it’s the Steam Input API that convinced me with the Steam Controller it was worth it.

        Yeah, I evaluated my library and there are like 2 games that are switch exclusive that I would care about.

        Tears of the kingdom and Mario odyssey.
