And that is why it would be fun to troll the worldwide players with such a tactic, at least for a little while, but the world ain’t funny anymore and they wouldn’t do that with arguably the most expected game of the decade.

Is there any mission as of nowadays that forces you to drive according to traffic laws in any of all the entries?

If not I propose a very annoying one like the Driver tutorial as the GTA VI tutorial.

It has to do with me, I love tinkering, I can’t because I can’t buy the Steam Deck officially.

I have never cared about winning Internet arguments, nor I have been surprised with such a reply, so there is a first time for everything I guess.

My point is that there’s no reason to think the Switch 2 can’t be emulated on the Deck, at least not until we get more information.

Also there is not a reason to believe that it will emulate Switch 2 games… What I can almost guarantee is that it won’t be as smooth as it does with Switch 1 games, unless we talk about less demanding games ofc.

The Steam Deck supports 4k60 just fine, just not on the built-in display ofc.

TIL, so docked emulation could be something (I suppose it gets more power plugged in as well).

Why not?

Let’s be objective here, can you really see the Steam Deck emulating the Cyberpunk 2077 game of the Switch 2? I know there is not a reason to do this, but these kinds of achievements are what I mean with “perfect emulation”.

But tbf, the deck is relatively old by now and could itself benefit from an upgrade

I have no doubts that a Steam Deck 2 will emulate Switch 2 games… But everyone keeps telling me this won’t happen soon enough…

As far as emulation, we at least know Nintendo considered it worth the effort to try to take down all Switch 1 emulators before even revealing fhe Switch 2, probably suggesting it’s not going to be hard to emulate.

That is one opinion, my personal one is that they just did it because they can still benefit from the sales of the Switch 1 games as the console is retrocompatible, so of course they would want you to pay for them instead of emulating them… Think of it as when they were actively blocking flashcarts that launched games for the DS in the 3DS.

It’ll probably be limited mostly to 2D titles, simple 3D ones, or maybe some hyper-polished first party titles

Perhaps, but what we know as of now is that Metroid Prime 4 was announced to run at 4K 60 FPS/1080p 60 FPS which I think the current Steam Deck will not be able to achieve (it doesn’t even have such resolutions), perhaps 720p 120 FPS is doable, but if it can’t perfectly emulate the Switch 2 then I don’t see it as a viable Switch 2 replacement.

What is your doubt, Valve doesn’t sell the Steam Deck officially in Mexico, and I won’t pay extra fees to import one.

Well, PC ain’t a handheld, unless you add streaming (local or externally) or a dedicated machine like the Steam Deck to the equation, that would definitely be something about the 450 bucks Nintey asks.

You couldn’t have said it better, I swear nobody knows the Steam Deck outside of Lemmy or Reddit in my close circle lol.

Also, I don’t mind tinkering, but for me Valve hasn’t done a great job there either because even to this day I can’t purchase one officially from Mexico LMAO.

Do you really think the Steam Deck will have the horsepower to emulate Switch 2? I’d love too, but even Switch 1 is not in perfect level yet (like PPSSPP perfect like).

People bought a Wii so they could play a motion control game with Grandma once or twice

I’d give up everything just to do this…

I mean… I will be able to get a Nintendo Switch 2 eventually… Regarding the Steam Deck, I can’t buy it officially in Mexico yet… Come on Valve, we are literally neighbors of the USA lol.

I want my Metroid Prime Hunters online (I still hop there with Wiimmfi)… Not everything must be Splatoon :/

I swear people (not you) comments just because lol.

We get it boys, Nintendo doesn’t do anything right.

Do you think that? I just think their approach is not getting inventive with games that are better suited for mouse gaming, because I can tell playing those games with traditional controllers seems like a chore.

This is bothering me too… But there is a huge perk of being an early adopter though… 🏴‍☠️

You know it will not… The best I hope is that MK doesn’t sell too well separately thus forcing a discount.

I think I would wait for a Steam Deck 2 just for the sake of future proof.

It is not.

This and the Zelda ones… I feel bad for wanting more remakes for the remake machine… But damn, those are good games.

I didn’t know there was hype for new Pokémon games for the Switch 1… Unless I missed the joke.

Xbox handheld made sense before when we had proper handhelds.

Nowadays… Not so much, I struggle to think how anybody would not think that this is just another Steam Deck/ROG Ally or whatever other PC gaming handheld in the market.

I played it on Android but what I didn’t like is that it is a rouge like?

I would have preferred it to be delivered in episode/level manner, I am not a fan of “starting over the same stuff”.

Another Wii U game getting good reviews?

Another proof that the Wii U failure was created by Nintendo themselves, at least it died to give us the Switch 😁

I am definitely not one of those who grew up playing game with markers though (I am 32 years old and that’s why I specified it must be a me problem 🤣).

I am playing the DS version which seems to be the definitive version, even to this day.

I am about to “finish it” and I haven’t played it in one sitting for sure, I have done some pauses for months here and then and when I go back to it I always find myself lost in their objectives.

One thing I can say I don’t like, and it must be a very personal issue, is that the game work “kinda open” with not clear objectives of where you should head off then, which just increases my sense of loss.

I suppose many games of those days worked like that (like not having pointers in a map of where to go) but I just couldn’t… And if you add the secondary missions to it that involves time traveling it all just gets more confusing for me.

I am aware the game has quite good post game content, so I hope I do my best there…

In a nutshell I think this game does well for people that know it at 100% (as in, their favorite nostalgic game) but for newcomers you’ll get lost and need a guide at hand, especially if you want to enjoy it at “its fullest” doing all the secondary quests available, that is my personal experience though.

It needs to improve a lot, I don’t think 2025 is a good fit for this change.

Do you consider yourself as a creative or a Minecraft fan? (Or in a nutshell somebody who likes Legos, map edition/creation etc), because I don’t, and I love BOTW but the building mechanics of TOTK have me scared of it 😅

On top of that, I was always really impressed by the GBA’s battery life but maybe I’m just old.

Same, I just don’t remember ever bothering about the battery life (unless it turned red) but with that long gaming sessions it would be a concern for kid me probably.

How did the battery last that much? AFAIK the GBA didn’t have any sleep mechanics… Or was one pack of batteries able to hold 12-24 hrs running the game non stop?

VR gaming bro.

Yep, most of us won’t really have the energy to get into a 100 hours + game, a platform, an indie or a retro beloved game? Yeah I can see that.

Preorder has been a synonym of unpaid beta tester for me since almost the conception of digital preorders…

If you like to preorder you should expect this to be honest.

How do you feel about MK Wii compared with 8 or 8 Deluxe?

I like my Vita, but not for PSP games, they look pretty bad to my eyes, especially if you have used a PSP 3000 or Go (my other Sony handhelds) or PPSSPP.

The PSP and the Vita had a better idle drain than the DS and 3DS respectively.

An opportunity to re-sell the same games with minor updates (I am looking at you 35 Mario anniversary edition) to a higher user base for today’s prices?

What am I missing here?

Tell that to the Gamecube and Wii U eras

They still don’t lose anything, not if they can port/upscale them on the way and sell them for today’s prices, why have backwards compatibility am I right?

Mate, with how much the Switch sold, I think they already did.

And yet they thrive, kinda funny isn’t it?

What a good game, I usually don’t play games in hard mode (I didn’t for Sifu either) but I am very proud that after busting my ass I got the the final boss in normal difficulty with 20 years, he got me once or twice, can’t remember.
