You buy the Switch to play Nintendo games mostly, though it's nice that you can take it with you. You buy the Steam Deck because you can take it with you and it has a huge library - but it has no Nintendo games, so it fails to scratch that one particular itch. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] NukeNPave@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) but it has no Nintendo games Natively? No, but it is pretty easy to emulate on the Deck. I have successfully run everything from Gameboy to Nintendo DS and Switch games on the Steam Deck. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] boonhet@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Hmm, how's Switch piracy these days?
