The best thing about a Steam Deck is the fact that with Emudeck, you can make your deck a much better Switch. The only thing you'll be missing is lack of Internet features and the GUI.

I'm also always happy to try and convince anyone and everyone not to buy from Sintendo and buy hardware that isn't inferior because I swear Sintendo hardware has absolutely been inferior compared to the competition since at at least n64.

I use my Switch to exclusively play Smash Bros with my friends using GameCube controllers with the switch adapter.

My Switch has been having lots of issues lately though. Anyway to replicate that with the Steam Deck?

If you're playing offline with friends, Emudeck has Ryujinx available. All you'd need is to either dump your cartridge if you can (which I don't know how to do) or get a copy and make sure you got a dock to hook up your deck to the TV. I don't know what kind of port the GameCube controllers use or if they'll work, though. I don't have one, so I couldn't tell you. I know the 3rd party wired pro controller I have works fantastically, though. Only other thing you gotta worry about it having enough ports to plug in to depending on the number of players and dock you got.

As for whether the game will be as smooth on Ryujinx as it is on switch, that's something I don't know considering I've never tried it on my deck.
