      Normally I would be excited for a new Nintendo console, but my only thought was. “Do I really want 2 handheld consoles?”

      I’m not excited for it at all and just want to use my steamdeck.

      This will be the first time I don’t get a Nintendo console right away. I may even skip it all together as Nintendo has been assholes lately.

      They will need a really killer set of games for me to change my mind about it.

        Well really, the question is “What does this handheld console actually play?”

        Deck: anything you want within hardware reason Switch: Nintendo roms (they apparently don’t even ship hardware carts now I guess?)

          Huh? Go to any Walmart and you’ll see loads of physical copies. Switch 2 is even confirmed to use them.

          I guess I would consider a switch 2 after they have a few great first party games.

          • Mario Kart
          • 3d Mario
          • 2d Mario
          • big Zelda game
          • Pokémon game that isn’t terrible and overly easy.
          • 3d Metroid
          • 2d Metroid

          I would need a decent number of these items to be on the system before I considered it.
