Just got an oled switch, I’ve only got one third-party game in my cartridge collection (of four game cards in total) and 2 digital third-party ones I can’t play from my account’s profile but that my mom bought for the family switch and re-downloaded on mine after I had her make a user profile on it. I’ve already bought Minecraft BE on a million different platforms and yet I almost always play java edition instead, and others that are available for Switch run just fine on my gaming PC.
The whole point of Nintendo devices is playing official, Nintendo-made games that can’t be found anywhere else.
Well I bought a lot of third party games because I like to play game portable and the steam deck wasnt available yet.
I also like the Nintendo boxes for the physical games. I think they look nice and I will always buy a third party game if I really like it. For example I bought enter the gungeon digital and it’s one of my favorite games, so I just had to have it physical.
But now with the steam deck I can have access to all my other libraries, so now I don’t feel so appealed to buy third party games on switch. Also saves a ton of money because your don’t have to pay the “Nintendo tax”.
And honestly my biggest thing is pricing. I currently have GamePass so been grinding through a ton of games there. But I’ve been buying so many games on sale that are so much more expensive on the Switch for whatever reason.
For sure. I would still get the switch 2 as it’s definitely going to actually have exclusives (unlike the PS5 and Xbox this gen which have basically a handful each)

Excited for this but man it’s been so nice playing PC games on my Ally . I’m assuming Deck owners feel the same way.
I’m going to buy the next Nintendo system but only to play exclusives.
Everything else I will play my deck and other consoles. The thing is just amazing.
Also Much much cheaper.

Confirmed, except how some of these games are out here being 100GB+. But the indie space is where it’s at right now anyway.
