If you wanna play Nintendo games and you hate their hardware or just the company (fair), have you heard of how well the steam deck runs an emulator?

Ive heard it's actually pretty great, though i haven't bought one myself. I started sniffing around when i wanted to get my nieces/nephews something to fight over for Christmas. initially was gonna be a switch, but they're young and those controllers fall apart quicker than shit.

I'm not out here selling steam decks but like check it out if you haven't and want a "console" rather than a pc solution. i think it's worth looking into as the mod scene for the Sdeck is heating up too. Anyway comment over.

Ya I've considered that route.

I've messed around with switch emulation on more powerful hardware, but for the simplicity of getting things workings I think I prefer the official console. The performance I had I my PC was not outstanding either.
