Raging Nintendo Fanboy Thinks Valve Ripped Off the Switch OLED

[@Noscopenoproblem]

It's pretty clear that people get a Switch primarily for Nintendo games rather than handheld gaming, while that feature is something that is no longer a hard sell for Nintendo. The Steam Deck however is attracting people BECAUSE of its portability, but also because of its open endedness and the fact that it is a solid entrypoint for PC gaming

That speculation started coming to fruition when _HALO_ got Linux compatibility. It is _absolutely_ undeniable how big of a deal it is that Linux is becoming more prominent and _viable_ as a gaming platform almost entirely because of the Steam Deck. And if more and more people use it for gaming, then more and more people will _also_ use it as their everyday driver. How can he not see how big of a deal this is?

Only a tiny handful of idiots online said the Steam Deck would demolish Nintendo. Anyone with 2 braincells knew that it was just an awesome new device for PC guys.

@TheMahayanist Well, yeah. It definitely does destroy the switch in hardware and software, but the Switch has easy access to Nintendo games, so it will win in sales any day of the week. And I gotta say, I love both my (old now) Deck and Nintendo Switch. They're both great devices. And I can't wait to get my new Deck (sold my old one to a friend who wanted one but didn't want to pay full price).

@@jet6283 Yes but to Average Joe Consumer, that means nothing because it isn't just popping in a cartridge or downloading it from the store. And that's fine, the Deck was always gonna be an enthusiast device. And because of that, those of us who want to do more with their hardware go for the Deck.

Hi! I honestly don't really like the Switch. I like Switch _games,_ but I'd rather play then on anything but the Switch. I could talk endlessly about how much I hate the build quality and the performance. The features are pretty bad, too. The _ONLY_ feature it has over the Steam Deck is instant recording. And maybe HD rumble, but who genuinely cares about that?

@@TheAbsol7448 If SMB Wonder saw a proper PC release, I'd probably consider that over the Switch. I tried the Sonic Frontiers demo. Even on a Switch Lite screen, the game looked rather distorted and generally low-quality. While the game's general demands aren't too high (a TUF Gaming A16 with a Zen 3+ APU can comfortably run the game at 1080p60 high), the Switch simply lacks the resources to properly offer higher levels of performance and graphical fidelity.

The most impressive thing about the Nintendo Switch is that it is using 9 year old hardware to run modern games. On second thought, I think the credit goes to the game devs who (have to) optimize for it. The simple fact is that the Switch is outclassed by new x86 handhelds that can do so much more than an old ARM SoC.

[@reaperreaper5098]

"It kicked off the trend of handheld gaming PCs" It absolutely did not. The trend existed well before the Deck.
