[–] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 14 points 11 months ago (1 child) In fact, you can play more Nintendo games on the Steam Deck than you can on the Switch 2. Just not the newest ones (yet). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago (1 child) I've managed to get BotW working at basically just a bit worse than the performance level of a Switch 1. Pretty much everything else is gucci, given that you run some games for a bit to allow a shader cache to build up. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 2 points 11 months ago (1 child) Sure, but Switch 2 encryption isn’t broken yet, last I checked. Also the Switch 2 is beefier than the Steam Deck, I doubt the Steam Deck will emulate it well. That’s what I meant by “newest.” permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago* (1 child) Yes! That is all correct or likely correct as far as I can tell, I was not trying to dispute you, just trying to add in other relevant details/context. Well, ok, with the exception of ... other platform games being ported to the Switch 2. Nah, Switch 2 is worse in that regard. Nobody can figure out how to optimize such games to run well on a Switch 2. Nintendo has been very, very stingy with dev kits, practically nzo dev teams (who outright asked for them!) have even gotten them. Elden Ring and CyberPunk 2077 already run better on my Deck than they do on a Switch 2. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 2 points 11 months ago (1 child) Sure, absolutely.

You’re good! Honestly, one of my favorite parts of the Deck is being able to stream games like CP2077 from the PC to the deck with Moonlight/Apollo. Even if the Switch 2 could play it better than the Deck natively, it definitely can’t beat my desktop. 😁 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) Yep, thats definitely a whole very neat thing too hehe!
