    We already know that the steamdeck plays switch games better than the switch. It would be hilarious if it also plays switch2 games better than the switch2.

        Maybe not all games, but the two Zelda games run better on emulator than they do on Switch.

          I’ve been trying to play totk on my steam deck cuz im not shelling out 70 bucks for a game and it runs at like 20 fps. How are you getting it running playably

            I’ll look into it when I get a chance, I don’t remember the details, but it went pretty smoothly for me.

          Metroid dread runs pretty great on Deck, too! But last I checked Mario odyssey is something like 10fps, same with the mario galaxy switch port 😢

        I made my statement based on popular opinion. I don’t have personal experience with it.

      It definitely won’t play Switch 2 games better. The hardware is roughly in the same ballpark performance wise, but the steam deck needs to emulate Switch 2 games.

      Please, you can argue all you want against Nintendo, but just straight up lying really doesn’t help.

        Steam link to a desktop running an emulator though?

        Is there even much competition between them though, I would have thought people considering one wouldn’t even think of the other.

      If the switch 2s hardware isn’t better than the Deck, then of course it will.

            core count x clock speed hasn’t been a good metric for about 15-20 years, but if we go by that anyway then it looks like the switch2 will be slightly worse than a steam deck.
